Reviews
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was "an intelligent and subtly developed horror film whose stoic camera evokes a feeling of insecurity" that "is difficult to evade". Furthermore, the film, which was produced on a low budget, would surprise “with unpredictable ideas and surreal moments that create an oppressive atmosphere”.
