[edit]Reception
[edit]Dakota Dahl of Rue Morgue magazine called the film "a pretty fun psychological thriller/monster movie mashup", and wrote that "While the monster scenes are hit or miss, the film's slippery grip on reality can be fun, especially for anyone who has dabbled in hallucinogens before."[5]
