Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com awarded the film three stars and wrote, "This is not a movie about big moments, and the sooner you roll with its atmosphere, the more Tran's assured directorial debut has to reward you."[3]
Anthony Gramuglia of Comic Book Resources gave the film a positive review and wrote, "And while the human drama is accompanied by a distinct lack of tension, there is something to be said for the film emphasizing how we tend to ignore evil lurking right under our noses, dismissing it before turning our attention to other problems."[4]
