Reception

John Townsend of Starburst rated the film 4 stars out of 10, calling it "What could have been an enjoyable, if largely formulaic genre film becomes an increasingly frustrating and tiresome experience as it progresses."[3] Matt Boiselle of Dread Central rated the film 1.5 stars out of 5, writing that "Hurd sets up a nice premise, decent locale, and interesting government cover-up backstory, but it’s ultimately dragged to its demise by a collection of bad acting stances."[4] Mark L. Miller of Ain't It Cool News called it "an ambitious and well intentioned experiment that just isn’t so successful at mixing subgenres and telling an engaging tale."[5]
