Critical reception edit
Film Threat described the film as "long, dull and boring" with "stilted dialogue and static direction.";[3] critic Jeffrey Kauffman, as an "oddball entry," "patently silly," and "Uneven at best and hilariously inept at worst (in the Lewis tradition).";[4] and DVD Talk, as "unyielding creepiness,"; the same review stating that "[i]t also doesn't help that Allen's performance - which permeates almost every frame - is grating to no end, while the story absentmindedly stumbles around with no clear focus."[5]
