Howard Thompson of "The New York Times" commended the film's acting, and cinematography, but criticized the film's nightmare sequences, soundtrack, and melodramatic plot. "Time Out" panned the film, referring to it as 'a bland and hackneyed murder mystery that was spiced up by surreal nightmare sequences' and "tacky" use of 3D. Brad Wheeler of "The Globe and Mail" gave the film one out of four stars, offering similar criticism towards its use of 3D and plot, stating that its appeal was "limited to genre fetishists and popcorn-chomping ironists".
