Chase Hutchinson of Collider rated the film an "A". Sharai Bohannon of Dread Central rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5, writing, "It’s a fine film that provides a couple of laughs and plays on that mistrust of our neighbors that most of us have. It flirts with a few different genres before deciding to keep it light." The film received positive reviews in ScreenAnarchy and Screen International while also winning favorable comparisons to the films of Yorgos Lanthimos and being hailed as "an ace feature debut" by The New York Times.
