Reception
Miguel Ángel Sánchez of HobbyConsolas gave the film 70 points ('good'), deeming it to be a solvent thriller while pointing out that it abuses of some forces dialogue lines in order to spoonfeed things over.[4]
Javier Ocaña of El País considered that the film ostensibly improves during its second third with a "phenomenal" Novas after a questionable first third with bad acting work and stiffness in the collective scenes, otherwise finding the film to be reminiscing of 1990s psychological thrillers such as Cape Fear and Sleeping with the Enemy.[9]
