Reception

Seire won FIPRESCI award at 26th Busan International Film Festival.

Alain Elliot of Nerdly rated the film 4 stars out of 5, calling it "the perfect showcase of how to blend old tales and folklore in a modern setting and telling real stories that are relevant now".[5]

Chad Collins of Dread Central rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5, calling it "a haunting, austere ghost story."[6]

Neil Young of Screen Daily wrote a positive review of the film, stating that it "balances psychological probings and potentially supernatural elements in deliberately disorienting and accomplished fashion."[2]

Panos Kotzathanasis of HanCinema gave the film a positive review, writing, "The overall minimalism with the occasional splashes of visually impressive moments appears to be a well-fitted approach for the "new generation" of horror films, along with the combination of a number of art-house elements, as the richness in context."[7]

Sean Parker of Horror Obsessive wrote a positive review of the film.[8]
