On Rotten Tomatoes, the collection consensus says, “Fashionable and genuinely scary, Teacup’s human drama has some spillage however the atmospheric frights of this horror collection go away a satisfying aftertaste.” That was all mirrored within the 77% Tomatometer rating and an analogous 70% Popcornmeter rating. At a time when most motion pictures and TV present fail to unite critics and audiences, the robust twin outcome has made the cancelation even tougher to take for followers.
