Reception

[edit]

Horrornews.net claims that "the filmmakers did a commendable job giving us a horror film based on real-world events and treated the subject matter with respect.[7] Jeremie Sabourin of Cinema Smack scored it 4 out of 5 stars and said that while it "isn't quite an enjoyable view given its subject matter, it's a thought-provoking piece of cinema that's certainly worthy of discussion."[8] Olivia York at Agnès Films called it "stunning [...] and does not sugarcoat the effects" of mass shootings.[9] Rebecca Cherry at Film Carnage rated it 4 out of 5 stars claiming "it's a poignant satire that has an important message."[10] In a review at Asian Movie Pulse, Adam Symchuk says that "although the short film may have some valid points, the way the subject matter is presented negates social message."[11] Movie Deputy rated it 1 out of 10 calling it "a vile and disgusting presentation."[12] Richard Propes of The Independent Critic says it is "an engaging, memorable film with a strong central performance by Kadwani."[13] She won two awards for Best Actress.[14]
