Alice Bee thought their most recent stab at teen-angst jeepers creepers was fun, but not very scary, in herThe Quarry review. “Perhaps the greater achievement is that I had several deaths that I just let ride, because they were so good,” she said, “so implausible and needlessly graphic in that retro slasher way that leans close to being actually funny.”
