Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter assessed that the "high-atmosphere, low-event psychological horror debut" features "plenty of claustrophobic atmosphere and a committed central performance [that] can't make up for Purgatorys failure to exploit its material". Manuel Piñón of Cinemanía rated the film 3½ out of 5 stars, considering that Chaplin manages to uplift the film "from being a more than adequate exercise in style" to "an intense experience, a passage through terror in which you never want to let go of her hand". Pere Vall of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars deeming it to be more of a suspense film than a horror film, citing its "forays into adolescent sexuality" as a positive element. == Accolades ==
