Reception

In his review on Film Threat , Terry Sherwood rated it with a score of 8/10 saying that the film has "lots of spraying blood, action, and wisecracking dialogue." [4]

Connor Lightbody of Movies We Texted About gave the film a fresh rating and wrote “A spirited film that finds its stride early on and maintains pace right until it sprints into a gonzo, scaly and ultimately quite sweet finale.” [5]

Dan Scully of Scully Vision gave the film a positive review and wrote, "It’s the type of movie that makes you want to make a movie of your own, not just because it calls back memories of adolescent creative projects, but because it’s a film about how the process itself is the reward." [6]

Corey Newell of Sandbox Movie Reviews gave the movie 5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Overall the movie is a nice change of pace from all the dark and gloomy horror movies that are a dime a dozen this time of the year. Don’t get me wrong, while I love it all, it’s nice to take a little bit of a break and enjoy something a little less serious during the Halloween season. Especially around election time and with all the other stressful happenings in the world now. Kudos to the director and cast for making something worthwhile, original and light while not forgetting to give us all the usual horror tropes we all enjoy so much. I really enjoyed this movie and if you enjoy horror comedies this should be at the top of your list! " [7]

Tina Kakadelis of Beyond the Cinerama Dome said "All You Need Is Blood is infectious, a zom drom that may not have a pulse on a zombie technicality, but is brimming with life." [8]
