Karina Adelgaard of Heaven of Horror wrote, “When the plot is like something out of a soap opera (or the earlier mentioned 90s action movies), then you need to adjust your acting accordingly. This is something Tasha Smith manages to get away with in a way that makes her performance very entertaining.”[14]

In Raynbow Affair Magazine, DiamondKesawn wrote, “Babeeeeeeeeeeee! I was in my seat, popcorn in hand and in full view mode and this film did not disappoint.”[15]

Amari of Wherever I Look wrote, "however, then we learn who is behind the kidnappings, and things begin to get ridiculous. Especially as the villain explains how they are going to cover their tracks, and the kidnappers. From that point on, the film goes from seeming exciting to you wondering how are they going to wrap it up?"[8]

In Geeks, Q-ell Betton wrote, "visually, the film looks good if a little too teal and orange for my liking. The house in the country is absolutely beautiful and looks amazing in a high-definition show house kind of way."[4]
