For instance, some reviewers noted that while the premise was intriguing, the execution felt clichéd and predictable. Rotten Tomatoes lacks a Tomatometer score, indicating limited critic reviews, but audience scores reflect a division between those who enjoyed the suspenseful atmosphere and those disappointed by the narrative development.
