Caillou Pettis of The Movie Blog gave the film a rating of 3/10 and he wrote; Phil Volken’s Dead Sea attempts to blend the crime and horror genres but unfortunately ends up stranded in a murky narrative with underwhelming execution. Despite a promising premise, the film flounders with predictable plot twists, one-dimensional characters, and a lackluster atmosphere that fails to elicit the intended dread. While it features a competent cast led by Dean Cameron and Isabel Gravitt, their efforts are not enough to save this film from its shortcomings.
