Reception

The film has a 60 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on five reviews.[2]

Chuck Bowen of Slant Magazine awarded the film two and a half stars out of four and wrote "D.W. Young navigates his varying moods with an ease that’s particularly impressive for a director making his feature debut, but he never capitalizes on his ability to coax down our guard."[3]

The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review: "Neither funny nor scary, this horror spoof mainly just coasts along."[4]
