    Reception

    Reviewing the film, Phil Wheat of Nerdly commended the filmmakers for producing an intriguing film but noted that the film "falls completely off a cliff with bad storyteling, terrible ADR and camerawork that is horribly framed, poorly lit and uses pan and scan to show all the participants in a scene; plus the film has a ridiculously melodramatic soundtrack that is both overused and overwrought."
