Critics, per Wikipedia
Reviews of the film were generally mixed. Writing for ScreenAnarchy, a critic said the film turns what could have been a "bargain basement slasher" into something more substantive, describing Isaac's conflict with the New Kid as a metaphor for adolescent struggle. PopHorror's Alexandra Steele called it "a heartfelt indie horror project with admirable ambition" but felt its storytelling did not fully come together. Cinema Crazed praised Thornton's vocal performance but felt the film ran long and could have used tighter editing. Bloody Flicks was more critical, describing the film as suffering from "poor cinematography, stagnant pacing" and inconsistent acting.
