Reception

Starburst Magazine panned the film overall, stating that although the film did have good music and cinematography, that overall it "isn't funny, it isn't frightening and every set-piece action scene is a dismal failure."[3] Common Sense Media was somewhat more positive, rating it at three out of five stars.[4]
