Reviews:
“The characters don’t have a lot in the way of depth or backstory but the cast takes their roles on with plenty of enthusiasm. Martin Payne steals the show playing an utter scumbag, the kind you keep hoping dies next. Riddell makes an appealing lead. that you want to root for […] It’s all enjoyably entertaining even if it never achieves a deep sense of fear and dread.” 4 out of 5, Voices from the Balcony
