Critical reaction to the film was generally positive. James Simpson of Infernal Cinema described the film as "a superb British horror". Elliott Maguire of UK Horror Scene praised the actors, particularly Burbage, as well as the visual effects and sound design, but was critical about the pacing of the film. Trilbee commented on a number of production deficiencies but was again complimentary about the acting quality, in particular that of Gale, concluding that the film "does something rather unique in the low-budget scene in that it brings the subgenre back to what made it so relevant and popular in the first place; that it’s not about the zombies or the make-up, it’s about the people."
