  ## Critical response
  
  Dread Central rated the film 1/5, calling it "yet another post-Saw abduction/torture flick on a low budget", made with a lack of skill and with one-dimensional characters. Horror Chronicles criticised the production values and noted a similarity to Hostel but suggested it might appeal to fans of torture porn. Horror News was more positive, praising it for some originality, while noting the lack of a backstory.
