Martin Unsworth of Starburst rated the film 3 stars out of 5, writing that "there’s enough wit amongst the scares to make it work."[3] Brendan Jesus of Horror Obsessive wrote a positive review of the film, calling it "a fresh and exciting installment to the found footage subgenre."[4]
Phil Hoad of The Guardian rated the film 2 stars out of 5, writing that the film "has a few sharp moments, but never quite reconciles its two sides to cleanly deliver the social-media skewering it’s obviously itching to."[5] Film critic Kim Newman wrote that while the film "has a couple of creepy moments and scares", the "plot turns out to be more complex than usual, leading to a finale with revelations and stand-offs and perhaps one twist too many."[6] Alain Elliott of Nerdly wrote a negative review of the film, writing that it "wants to be some kind of modern social media version of Paranormal Activity but it fails at every level".[7]
