Reception
Film critic Kim Newman wrote that Waechter "has an insteresting take on subject matter" and praised the "especially effective" score and sound design.[2]
Chloe Leeson of Screen Queens called the script a "tired mish-mash of overused genre moments and doesn’t attempt to add any critique (or even praise) on this generation’s interest in the internet and the lengths people will go to for views or popularity."[3]
Patrick Bromley of Bloody Disgusting gave the film a score of 2/5 and wrote that while the film is "put together well", it "squanders the opportunity to provide any commentary on its subject matter."[4]
Adam Patterson of Film Pulse gave the film a score of 3.5/10 and called it a "mediocre thrill ride that annoys more than it entertains."[5]
