Reviews:
“I am cutting them some slack since they clearly had no budget yet still churned out a partially decent story with adequate acting minus the casting mistake. It blows by at 70 minutes so it never bogs you down…” 3.3/10, Jackmeats Flix
“The screenplay, the cinematography, the direction, all feel incredibly amateur. None of the relationships feel real or well-developed, particularly between any of the younger cast. The plot itself makes very little sense and the ending is just awful.” ★ Nerd Bonanza
