Reception

Andrew Pollard of Starburst wrote that the film "is certainly worth a watch, is full of impressive performances, is built up and delivered well, and may just surprise you in more ways than one as it marks Gus Krieger out as a talent to keep an eye on."[2]

Sam Decker of Fangoria gave the film a score of 3 skulls out of 4 and wrote that Krieger "ratchets the tension nicely over the course of its runtime, deftly playing with audience expectation via continual shuffling of the narrative deck and more than a few red herrings."[3]

Chris Coffel of Bloody Disgusting wrote, "Aside from the weird acting and lack of chemistry from our two leads, the biggest issue with The Binding is that it’s boring. It’s never scary or interesting. It’s just boring."[4]
