Reception



The film holds a rating of 55% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 11 reviews, and has an average rating of 5/10.

'The Guardian' rated the movie at two out of five stars, writing that "The acting is wooden and the special effects arent all that special, but its a spirited effort and doesnt drag during its 78 minutes." 'Empire' magazine was slightly more positive, stating "Rising to the challenge of doing something new(ish) with an overworked subgenre, this may not be particularly scary or funny. But it belies its modest budget to splatter to knowing effect." 'SciFiNow' espoused a similar view, commenting that it "at least tries to do something a bit different with a subgenre that long became saturated past the point of no return. It falls firmly into the disposable fun category, but ultimately it isn't much more than that."
