Reception

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "The film is recommended only if you are into a guessing game".[6] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "Spooky College would have worked better as a decent dive into exploring young minds, however, the film doesn’t just shine that bright a light on this pertinent issue".[7] A critic from OTT Play wrote that "And even as a surface-level horror film, the film fails from evoking scares - unless you have a lot of time to kill, consider giving the film giving a miss".[8]
