Critical reception

The film has received negative reviews. Tom Becker of the DVD Verdict said, "The film is guilty of being a bloody bore. The accused are sentenced to stand in front of a mirror chanting, "I believe in Ed Wood," until they learn that bad movies can be entertaining, too". Horror Movies and Stuff give half a star out of 4, saying: "Lame antagonist, boring script, hardly any blood and gore, cheap scares, and bad acting by most of the cast". Movies Made Me give 4.4 out of 10. Eat Horror said: "This is a muddled story with plot holes aplenty and terrible acting even by low budget horror standards. The direction is all over the place with too many hand-held shots and the meagre effects are cheap and terrible. You would think the Bloody Mary story would eventually spawn a decent horror film but this isn't it". Home Theater Info rated B+ giving 7 out of 10.
