Reception

[edit]

Donald Clarke of The Irish Times called the film a "finely honed shocker enlivened by occasional moments of impressively black humour".[1]

Gareth Jones of Dread Central gave the film a score of 4/5 and called it an "earnest, and devastating, study of the psychological effects of victimisation, brutalisation, intimidation, and sheer aggression turned inwards."[2]

Paul Whitington of the Irish Independent rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that it "goes a long way on a very slim premise". Whitington praised the sound effects but criticised the "baroque conclusion that clumsily hammers home the film's message."[3]
