Reception
Kari Salminen from Turun Sanomat gave the film one star out of five, because even though he said the film is "a rough, experimental and sometimes clever horror flick", he specifies that "when the film's horror is mixed with comedy, the latter is not overemphasized, nor is the ugliness, which is why the viewer doesn't need so many nerves than the ability to tolerate the dreary aesthetics of penury."[7]
