Critical reception

Like many of The Asylum's "mockbusters", the film received universally negative reviews. Shaun Munro of Letterboxd awarded the film one and a half stars, stating "Though easy on the eyes – more so because of the appealing actresses rather than the bland cinematography and risible effects – you’ll need a strong affinity for self-aware garbage to follow this grim (sorry) prospect all the way to the finish."^[2]
