Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. joachimandersson – ★☆☆☆☆
   “If you absolutely have to watch every slasher ever made then you should watch this shot on video travesty. The first kill (apart from the three naked ladies killed off screen in the beginning) occurs about 55 minutes into the 75 minute long movie which should tell you everything you need to know. The only reason to watch this is for the novelty of having watched a slasher from Argentina. But that’s it. Not even Richard and Hollie would like this.”

2. mattminter – ★★☆☆☆
   “The film’s artwork rips off Freddy’s Revenge, and I guess they were going for a Freddy-style killer; except this guy’s face looks like a wet diarrhea scab and he sounds like he has a severe sinus infection. There’s a very pleasing ‘all are forever damned’ tone once the slashing starts. The soundtrack really heightens this along with nice touches like the killer creating fog inside the house, and an over-utilized lightning animation.”

3. nahuelpn – ★★☆☆☆
   “Nice premise. Some creative deaths. Very poor execution. The acting is not great and the pacing is abysmal. But there’s something oddly charming about its amateur weirdness.”

4. lenke – ★☆☆☆☆
   “This is what happens when you mix low-budget soap opera energy with an attempt at horror. Feels more like a haunted house attraction filmed by theater kids who just got a fog machine.”

5. nachox10 – ★☆☆☆☆
   “One of the worst horror films I’ve ever seen, but also one of the most fascinating. The practical effects are so cheap they loop back into being entertaining.”
