Chad Collins of Dread Central awarded the film four stars out of five summing it up as "one of the finest queer horror movies of the year" and "a gift to the Christmas horror canon".[12]

Pere Vall of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars citing "the great scream queen Roser Tapias and Jorge Motos; its decided, brave and original bet on genre cinema in these times; [and] the much talked about scene of the collective nudity" as positive elements.[16]

Carmen L. Lobo of La Razón rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing about how it "manages to maintain the tension; it is an interesting Christmas horror story".[5]
