Palpable atmosphere and compelling drama are often lost in a muddle of cliches and shiftless theatrics. Overall though, the absorbing twist at the end more than makes up for many of its inadequacies."[6] Meagan Navarro, for Bloody Disgusting, wrote that the film "can't fully escape the trappings established by quintessential folk horror films like The Wicker Man", but "is carried by the strength of its intriguing mythology and stunning production value".[7] Daniel Akinbola, for Filmhounds, gave it three stars, stating that it "doesn't do anything innovative", but "is a solid folk horror with a few stand out moments and solid performances".[8] References
