Reception

The Los Angeles Times panned the film, writing that it was "all that its title promises: something generic and empty, with the sense that much has been left behind."[6] The Film Journal was more positive, and wrote that "it delivers a handful of creepy moments and the opening-credits montage of old newspaper accounts of the Jarvis family's fate is genuinely disturbing."[7]
