Scott Clark of Starburst wrote "If the effects had been practical and the gore more heavily indulged in, there could have been a rip-roaring time to be had here; instead it's a dour-faced disposable which rambles through its runtime without evoking much reaction".[5] Michelle Swope of Horror News gave the film a 2.5 out of 5, criticizing the plot and special effects, while praising Crampton's performance.[6] The film also got a score of 30 out of a 100 from Culture Crypt.[7]
