Reception

Phil Wheat of Nerdly rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5, calling it an "interesting take on familiar themes, with some superb visuals (the lighting used is a particular highlight) and a fantastic synth soundtrack that adds a lot to the film’s atmosphere; and a denouement that made one hell of an impact!".[5] Chris Knight of the National Post rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5, writing that "it feels like Ditched suffers from reverse Jaws syndrome", and that "Here, the furry monsters seem to be all over the place, all the time. Their motivation, when revealed, opens another can of worms", while praising the performances of Sila and Caine.[6] The film received a rating of 2 out of 5 in Horror Society.[7]
