Reception
Goldwin Reviews gave the film a rating of -2 out of 5 rating and wrote: Wala silang naibigay na magandang impormasyon tungkol sa content creation at live streaming. May gusto silang sabihin tungkol sa kasikatan, pero sa sobrang panget ng pagkakagawa, hindi na yun mahalaga. Ito’y naging isang cheap na version ng black mirror. Ang chaka to the max ng pagkakasulat at ng pagkakadirek. Stephanie Mayo of Daily Tribune also gave the film a negative review and giving it a 0 out of 5 rating, she said: It was literally a bizarre movie experience, as if Bantay-Bahay does not understand the genres of horror or comedy. Or, perhaps, Reyes, or Regal Films, released this just too soon, betting on Pepe Herrera’s stardom despite the movie’s half-baked production.
