A genre cheapie from its digital-video camerawork to its Casiotone soundtrack to its bland, buff cast, the movie is a cultural watershed in a dry gulch.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Rotten

The horror in the film is mediocre at best.

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

A loyal gay audience may appreciate the novelty, but horror fans can find junk like this lining the shelves of any video store.

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Rotten

The film goes through the motions familiar from mainstream slasher movies, but without an underlying logic motivating the action, the film becomes an exercise in blood-spattered boredom.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten

This isn't a particularly good movie, and it's offensive in the way mid-range low-budget slasher shows usually are. But it works better than some.

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
