Critical reception

Amarachukwu Iwuala of 360Nobs panned everything about the film, stating: "There is really nothing the best cast in the world can do to a film, whose story and screening lack depth as we see in The Duplex. Rather, the half-baked work will drag them down to its level. Some film-makers should make a conscious effort to entertain rather than punish their viewers with trivial-round movies".[7]

gollark: Ah, makes sense.
gollark: I think I have experienced the wave thing with rarer ones.Also, codes, what?
gollark: How very mysterious.
gollark: So what are these other patterns? Just stuff like "uncommon eggs lying around will get other eggs when taken soonish"?
gollark: There's more to it than biomes and the 5-min/1-hour drops?
