Reception Canadian film critic Richard Crouse rated the film at 2 stars, writing that "With characters straight out of Central Casting, the gruff old sea captain, the hot headed assistant etc, it offers up a soggy sea-bound adventure with very few actual thrills." Jackie K. Cooper was similarly critical.
Tom Chang of Bleeding Cool panned the movie, stating "The jump scares are nothing remarkable, and Swallow and Roundtree's performances drive much of the film's tension as opposed to its supernatural elements."
