Reception

Andrew Manseau of JoBlo.com gave the film a score of 8/10 and praised Oates' "transcendant and a real star maker" performance, calling it a "serious, tour-de-force performance that absolutely sells the film." Manseau described the relationship between Regina and Ryan as "completely believable and very real" and wrote that while the effects "aren’t great", they are "certainly creative at times and will likely win you over." Scott Hallam of Dread Central rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and called it an "intelligent, unique and completely enthralling film that looks at the undead from an entirely new angle." John Noonan of HorrorNews.net opined that the "behavior and logic of the characters mitigates some of the desire to be invested in them when the worst begins to happen."
