Reception

In a mixed review, Bill Gibron of DVD Talk wrote that while it was "barely watchable at times" it was "mostly enjoyable" and "does grab us with its uniqueness and backdrop".[1] HorrorNews.net's review was slightly more positive, remarking on the film's uniqueness and commenting that the film's "over the top" feeling "[added] to the charm of the film".[2] David Johnson of DVD Verdict wrote that the film was barely comprehensible and horribly executed.[3] Rod MacDonald of SF Crowsnest wrote that it is "excruciating to watch".[4]
