The premise has been done to death, but screenwriters Andrew Stark and Jason Pagan give it a fresh and pleasant spin by using it as a vehicle for adolescent wish fulfillment

Ugly, unfocused photography makes it impossible to enjoy the film beyond its theoretical novelty.
Simon Abrams, Village Voice
Rotten
The premise, which initially has a certain interior logic, grows implausible and then nonsensical.
David Hiltbrand, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
Maybe it will work better on home video where unrestrained camera movement is less likely to provoke nausea but it certainly doesn't work on a big screen.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

On the whole, this is a good B-movie that hits it modest marks.
