Reception
[edit]Joseph Perry of Horror Fuel praised the "mesmerizing" sound design, the "captivating visuals" and the "satisfyingly eerie, enigmatic tone", as well as the "engaging" performances" and the "wonderfully imagined" characters.[3]
Film critic Kim Newman called the film an "impressionist, elliptical take on the crooks-run-into-a-curse sub-genre – with impressive sound design, strangely cadenced performances and a kind of poetic free-flowing angst in lieu of conventional terrors."[4]
Martin Unsworth of Starburst rated the film 4 stars out of 5 praised Clemens' direction and concluded that the film's "images and brooding sound design will linger long after the story is over, and the melding of myth and metaphysical will give fans plenty to debate."[5]
