Stephen Holden from the New York Times gave the film a negative review, calling it "misogynistic" and criticized its inconsistent tone.[2] Time Out called it "A straight re-run of those '70s slasher pics", and criticized the film for the obvious identity of the killer.[1] TV Guide awarded the film one out of four stars, stating that the only real selling point was the "eccentric array of supporting players".[3]
