"Margaret Qualley has made us suffer through 100% of their reviewed films. While retaining occasional sparks that once earned a 4.0, their track record is handled in our newsroom with latex gloves and extreme caution." — Claqueta Ácida Editorial Staff (Odín Lagbert)
«La actriz que demuestra que, incluso en el infierno del body horror, se puede ser más convincente que una Demi Moore en plena crisis existencial (y física). Qualley brilla como el espejo deformado de una industria que devora a sus estrellas, aunque aquí el único caníbal sea el guion.»
