Reception



'Pblico' found the visual style and pace of the film pleasing, while 'Soitu' found it a rare example of an action and special effects drama from Spanish cinema, usually only seen in Hollywood productions. Marcus Littwin of 'Die-besten-Horrorfilme' praised the film and its director, noting that the story quickly draws in the audience, and was impressed with the stunning images and exciting action and twists.

Conversely, Carmen Porschen of 'Movie Maze' found the film started well, but had major flaws, finding that the strong opening soon dilutes into an unoriginal story consistent with an average television movie.
