[1] James O'Ehley of Scifi Movie Page rated it 1/5 stars and wrote that it could be used as blackmail for all involved. [2] Michael Muzerall as Film Threat rated it 3/5 stars and wrote, "The film has all the right factors to be the next big thing in cult movies, but it lacks the feverish style or the ripping wit to cement the deal."
