Reception

Scott Foundas of Variety called that Bishara's score is "still doing basso profundo backflips even as the end credits are rolling".[3] Peter Hartlaub of SFGate wrote "The score by Joseph Bishara also shows early Hitchcock influences."[4] Drew Taylor of IndieWire called it as a "screeching score" that had a separate personality.[5]
