Panos Kotzathanasis of HanCinema gave the film a positive review, writing, "The overall minimalism with the occasional splashes of visually impressive moments appears to be a well-fitted approach for the "new generation" of horror films, along with the combination of a number of art-house elements, as the richness in context."[7]
