This is what José Roberto Landaverde wrote for Movie premiere:

“… When looking at Beware what you intend, there is good taste because, after a forceful third act that explodes in a visceral, vertiginous and visually raw way, we come out of a dump of creative obsessions that manages to keep the best of each genre it plays . From terror to thriller, passing through true crime, this is a fresh proposal, made from the trench of admiration, "he said.

For its part, Daniel Farriol praises some elements, but criticizes others that ended up slowing down its narrative force.

“With a modest production and a simple staging, the film has some good ideas (…) fundamentally everything related to the doll and its puppet theater (…) The script is very weak in its second act and does not end by specifying what kind of movie wants to be. It becomes repetitive and the hope of a wild outcome is not completely fulfilled, ”he considered.

Ulises Castañeda from Chronicle wrote the following about the Mexican-Spanish tape.

“… There are two main things that are wrong: First, wanting to emulate a Hollywood visual style with the abuse of cliché. Secondly, of wanting to bring the language of television to the cinema, of the horror movies of the 80s (in the best of cases) ”, he added.
