However, Maitland McDonagh of Film Journal International gave the film a positive review and wrote, "How surprising the story’s twist ending turns out to be depends on how thoroughly steeped in horror moves the viewer is, but it’s well executed down to small details like the creepy clown puzzle with which little Rose likes to play." Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter also gave it a positive review writing that "it offers a few decent scares as well as the opportunity for Val Kilmer to once again display his unique brand of screen charisma."
