Critical reception

Allmovie wrote, "This creepy whodunit [...] offers a few chills but is ultimately unsatisfying."[4]

Marco Giusti feels that the film, like all films by Crispino, is a little slow and boring.[3]

Rob Talbot wrote "You really do wonder what you’ve let yourself [in] for when this one kicks off, but it’ll certainly make you sit up and pay attention, whether you love or hate it.[1]"
