Reception

[edit | edit source]

Han Cheung of the Taipei Times wrote that while the film "has the right elements, ideas and technical capabilities", and the final twist "definitely will get people talking", it "needs better structuring" and "could be much scarier".[2]

Douglas Tseng of today rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that "a late-game revelation helps make this otherwise routine shriek-fest slightly more interesting than it deserves to be."[6]

Brian Costello of Common Sense Media rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and called it "unoriginal".[7]
