Reception

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 9 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7/10.[5]

Film critic Trevor Stucker from The Movie State gave it a positive review writing: "Alex E. Parris is a compelling lead with a distinguishably demanding personality and a committed performance, but it is Constance Shulman who stole the show for me. Her experience as an actress is clear as the stubbornness of her character reaches beyond the screen. I was simultaneously annoyed with her character and impressed by her performance."[3] Norman Gidney from the HorrorBuzz gave in 6 out of 10 stars and also noted Shulman's performance as mother and Laplante and Moon for creative ideas.[6]
