Critical reception
Film Threat gave the short a 9 out of 10, writing that it "works thanks to a tight control of its tone and perfect casting. Its short runtime ensures the story does not overstay its welcome, and it ends in the only way it truly can."[3]
Horror Buzz gave the short a 7 out of 10, stating that it "has a heck of a cast and creative concept. While the short film contains plenty of jokes and entertains, it’s not without its contemplative, dramatic moments. Though the ending feels definitive, I wouldn’t mind watching a feature-length film."[4]
