Critical reception

Writing for DVD Talk, critic David Cornelius described the film as "unyielding creepiness," and wrote that "[i]t also doesn't help that Allen's performance - which permeates almost every frame - is grating to no end, while the story absentmindedly stumbles around with no clear focus."[3] Film review site Film Threat describes the film as "long, dull and boring" with "stilted dialogue and static direction."[4] Critic Jeffrey Kauffman described the film as an "oddball entry," "patently silly," and "Uneven at best and hilariously inept at worst (in the Lewis tradition)."[5]
