Critical reception

Allan Dart, writing for Fangoria, found the directors Gomes and Sanginitto went for psychological suspense instead of mere gore, but felt the film was predictable.^[1] Dread Central called it "cheap fun, better than expected, but come the next day you'll hardly remember its name."^[2]
