Reception
On Film Business Asia, Derek Elley gave it a 5 out of 10 and said that "two strong stories bookend a weak central one."[1] On The Hollywood Reporter, Clarence Tsui said the "three half-hour horror shorts attain uneven levels of scary moments, with Lawrence Lau’s old-school shock-and-awe approach coming out tops."[2]
