The film made waves on the festival circuit, collecting Best Film at Sitges, Best International Film at the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, and dual Audience and Critics Awards at Gérardmer. Reviewers praised Rugna for pushing possession horror into unsettling territory, earning the feature a reputation as one of the genre’s most talked‑about recent entries.
