Critical response

For Original Cin, Thom Ernst wrote that "the budget, rumoured to be modest, shows no signs of hampering the production. If anything, the limitations forced smarter decisions. The monster, a many-tentacled sewage-dweller, is convincing enough to be threatening, but silly enough to let audiences enjoy the lunacy. Nothing looks cheap; everything looks intentional. It’s the kind of resourcefulness that makes low-budget Canadian filmmaking so easy to root for."
