Reception

Jennifer Turner of Horror DNA rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote that while it "does drag a little bit with overused running gags and minors characters that really have no point in the film", it "has everything, humor, gore, and a sharp sense of wit" and "contains a fun anti-drug message without coming off like a preachy After School Special." [3] Jason Boyd of Fictionphile wrote: "Unlike some super indie films like this, the production level is surprisingly high. The story has more than a couple of bright spots, but you will likely wish the film had picked a lane and stuck with it." [4] Nick Valdez of Flixist opined that the "stumbling nature of story and lack of commitment toward its main character is what keeps All American Zombie Drugs from becoming a spectacular film." [5] Robert Kenneth Dator of Film International stated that "what plagues the production beyond tempo is a lack of strong characters and a good through line" and that there "is further a troubling sameness in every scene, a lack of variety in location, set dressing, and no apparent production design, so that what is purported to be “suburban America” looks stuck somewhere within a twenty block radius of Burbank". [6]
