Critical reception
Allmovie wrote, "This creepy whodunit [...] offers a few chills but is ultimately unsatisfying."[4]
Marco Giusti feels that the film, like all films by Crispino, is a little slow, a little boring.[3]
Rob Talbot wrote "You really do wonder what you’ve let yourself [in] for when this one kicks off, but it’ll certainly make you sit up and pay attention, whether you love or hate it.[1]"
gollark: That's not the message.
gollark: No, it has the *origin* that.
gollark: Another update just now: I added timestamps, in the form of (I think?) milliseconds since the epoch.
gollark: Well, most recent 100, I mean.
gollark: Update right now: you can also run `skynet.logs(start, end)` to get a slice of the logs other than the default first 100 entries.
