Reception
The movie received rather poor reviews. Allmovie rated it 2 out of 5. TV Guide called it an "imbecilic chiller". Ain't It Cool News reviewed the film, stating that it was "a bit light on the story" and criticizing the teens' acting while praising the special effects.Another reviewer wrote, "Like a lot of Full Moon pictures, this movie is surprisingly good despite its cheese. It has a story, it knows how to tell it, and the plot holes aren't overwhelming. They do cheese right. But it IS cheesy. Three out of five digested toasters."
