Reviews:
“It’s so short and has quite a lot of characters if you include the opening scene teenagers and the pot smoking couple a bit later on. But it just works well for 
the film – there is some nice, brutal gore early on and then we follow and actually get to know the six main players before the main carnage begins. The ending subsequently is a total bloodbath!” Hacked in the Head
“The film is by no means a technical masterpiece (some shots are too bright, others out of focus, although one in particular, a crane shot across a lake bathed in moonlight, looks great) – and the same goes for the storytelling – but at just over an hour long, it’s a quick and quite enjoyable fix for horror fans.” Screen Jabber
“Given this film’s non-existent budget, you never quite see what it is exactly that they encounter, as this goes for a psychological approach. The director seems more concerned with making a good-looking film than making a movie with substance…” Leofwine_Draca
