Reviews:
“Pipeline might be ok for something to kill time if you’re not feeling picky, but it never rises above the level of watchable. The potential was there, but it needed to deliver a decent monster, impressive kills or plenty of scares. It falls short on all three.” Voices from the Balcony
Release date:
In the USA, Wild Eye Releasing will open up Pipeline onto DVD and Digital on April 27, 2021.

MOVIES & MANIA round-up review and rating:
Pipeline is a vaguely watchable yet unengaging low-budgeter with an unconvincing monster and characters that are uninspiring. Later scenes of the leads wandering around the house are so poorly lit it becomes a chore to watch. The monster is barely glimpsed for a few seconds.
