Google audience: Google users largely appreciated the film's ability to create a sense of dread and suspense, with many enjoying the musical elements that contributed to the horror. However, a common point of dissatisfaction was the lack of originality and a somewhat anticlimactic ending.

The distinctive and unsettling melody from the music box in the film was composed by a renowned classical musician known for their avant-garde works, adding a layer of sophisticated unease to the score.
