Reception



Kim Newman of 'Empire' rated it 2/5 stars and called it "predictable fare with a few good performances". Steve Barton of Dread Central rated it 2/5 stars and wrote, "It's all been done before and done much better.". Describing the film's use of haunted house and serial killer tropes, R. L. Shaffer of IGN rated it 4/10 stars and called it "more or less a combination of two half-cocked ideas". In comparing it to a Lifetime made-for-cable film, Peter Brown of Shock Till You Drop criticized the amount of time spent on back story and concluded that the film is too illogical and clichd. Annie Riordan of Brutal as Hell called it "stunningly unscary and totally nonsensical".
