Critical reception

Craig Jones, of MovieWeb, gave a negative review, saying the film is just as "shoddy as Neil Breen's previous films, with terrible green screen effects, acting that the average plank of wood would find embarrassing, and a plot of some description".[1] Jones further elaborated that the film's "crazy fight scenes, laughably poor line readings, and strange directorial choices make for a film that, no matter how numerous its failings, doesn't promise to be dull".[1]

Accolades

In February 2023, the film won the awards for "Best Fantasy Film" and "People's Choice Award", at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival.[14][9][15]
