Reception

Horrornews gave the film a mixed review saying, "T. Vaughan’s Playing House once again stalks on the same ground as other films such as Single White Female and Fatal Attraction but does throw a left at you when you think that you have it all figured out. The characters are likeable and their situations are quite believable which does make the film quite enjoyable, its hardly original but at least it does keep your attention better than most anything released by big time Hollywood these days."
