Hollywood Reporter calls this an “intelligent mystery” that movies into TWILIGHT ZONE territory, and predicts that with smarkt marketing it could appeal to both young audiences and fans of classic mysteries.

Gaby soon claims to sense another’s presence in the empty house and begins to fantasize about her first lover, a young man who died in a motorcycle accident.
