Reception

edit

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 63% based on 16 reviews.[2] Thom Ernst of Original Cin rated the film a "B+" and wrote that it "works because of the movie's dedicated performances, some fittingly extreme (the witches and demons) and others reliably frightened."[3] Jon Mendelsohn of Comic Book Resources wrote that while the film is "not groundbreaking by any means", it is "an unpredictable, entertainingly gory ride that rests somewhere between schlock and quality independent cinema".[4]

Martin Unsworth of Starburst rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and called it an "entertaining low budget shocker that’s worth a look."[5] Cody Hamman of JoBlo.com gave the film a score of 5/10 and called it "disappointingly underwhelming".[1] Kelly Vance of the East Bay Express wrote that while the film "has a writing problem and is too slowly paced for its weight."[6]
