Critics have pointed out the film's effective pacing and gore. One review highlights its "perfect structure, where they set up the story in the opening fifteen minutes" before descending into "chaos". The special effects and "non-stop gore" have been praised by horror enthusiasts, and the film is noted for being remarkably creative in its acts of retribution. However, some have noted that its political commentary regarding the Russia-Ukraine war is overt. In a unique twist, the film's licensing program has seen a novelization, themed jewelry, and other merchandise, demonstrating a new way for Ukrainian cinema to thrive beyond the screen.
