The film premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival on 7 June 2016.[1]
Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film "never really comes to much, perhaps because its focus is too diffuse. The scares are low, and the plot under-baked."[2]
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Disjointed and confusing, the film fails to live up to the promise of its spooky setting."[3]
Damond Fudge of KCCI called the film "jumbled mess that leaves a lot of unanswered questions".[4]
