Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 90% of 10 critics' reviews are positive.[4] Matt Donato of Bloody Disgusting gave the film a mostly positive review, calling it "a disturbed psycho-vacation freakout" that's "hard to pin down and all the better for its elusiveness, like a romantic comedy that fell in with the wrong (but right) horror crowd."[5] Mary Beth McAndrews of Dread Central also gave the film a positive review, calling it "darkly hilarious" and "a delectable entry into the cannibal woman subgenre of horror that also serves as a magnifying glass on the damage inflicted by toxic relationships."[1]
