Noel Murray of Los Angeles Times declared the film to be "so powerfully atmospheric that it barely matters when the rest of the picture turns out to be a bit sparse".[6] of Cinemanía rated the film 2 out of 5 stars, considering it "a gamble that might have benefited from a different type of direction of actors".[7] Jordi Batlle Caminal of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, citing its "unsettling" atmosphere as its best while negatively citing the unconvincing denouement.[8]
