Development

Reception
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 36% of 11 critics' reviews are positive.[7]
The film's criticism mostly centered on the plot, which Dread Central and Common Sense Media felt offered nothing new to the genre:[8][9][10] a reviewer for Film Threat criticized the script, highlighting "Johnston's stilted, inconsequential dialogue",[11] while Starburst felt that the film was convoluted.[12]
