Reviews

David Nusair wrote on Reel Film Reviews that a plot does not exist. It is difficult to understand what is happening in the film. Nothing in the film makes sense, the characters' actions are inexplicable. Watching is a waste of time, you could at best get migraines from it.

The lexicon of international films wrote that the film had an "exciting suspense story" that came up with "an irritatingly oppressive atmosphere". However, he does not get “beyond a thriller full of effects” because he “does not fathom the psychological depths of his characters”.
