Film4 gave the film a negative review of two stars out of five, stating that the film is very forgettable. Its a shame that Cervos great performance hangs limply on a wobbly script full of poor choices. Time Out London gave the film a rating of two stars out of five, calling it a outandout preposterous, a soulless essay thats livened by a smattering of striking imagery and a few neat juxtapositions, but nothing to really sink your teeth in to. Screen Daily referred to the film as a humourless little slasher and that it was Neither scary nor engrossing, it is just unnecessarily repetitive.
