Response
'The Austin Chronicle' said, "Truitner's story of social strata, and the terrifying potential of gene tampering, has found a new timeliness.". First Comics News gave it 4 out of 5 stars, saying "For the start, the show is low key. Things do really start getting interesting as the show takes some unexpected twists and turns." 'Film Threat' gave the film a 6 out of 10, stating "Visually, the movie rocks. This is an indie effort worthy of note that fails to tick a few boxes, but still deserves perhaps a B for effort."
