The film received mostly positive reviews and was highly praised for its brilliant and believable visual effects. Nollywood Reinvented gave it an 81% rating, which was the highest score on the website at the time[2] and stated that "The story in this movie is just amazing, and not just the core story itself but the little bits that make-up the whole. The scriptwriter does an amazing job of tying everything together so that nothing is out of place and everything is related in one way or another whether or not it is explicitly stated. So much so that I am tempted to say that the scriptwriter was the star of the movie. The movie requires your attention and if you blink you might miss something critical". It also commended Kehinde Bankole's acting skills, stating "Watching Kehinde Bankole on screen is nothing short of an experience....she commands your attention throughout."[3] Sodas and Popcorn gave it 4 out of 5 stars, stating "James Omokwe and Ethan Okwara’s directing skills are no doubt good. the movie had the best special effects I have ever seen in a Nollywood production and the fight scenes, totally Believable. The choice of actors was good."[4]
