Critical response
Irv Letofsky of the 'Los Angeles Times' wrote of the film: "The thing about suspense is that the characters can be dumb and the plot can be muddled and the whole production can be awkwardly filmed and sometimes it can still work. But if there's no passion in the playing and it all lies there flat and deadly and every twist and turn of the story is predictable by a mile, then there's not much fun and surprise left."
John Stark of 'People' wrote: "The hokey plot, with its ending right out of 'When a Stranger Calls', could be excused if the characters werent so one-dimensional. Theres no sense of locale, either. Although filmed in and around Portland, Ore., it could be Anywhere, U.S.A. There is one old-fashioned quality we can be thankful for: It isnt violent."
