On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 33% based on 9 reviews. [2] Payton McCarty-Simas of Film Inquiry wrote that while the film's ambitions "exceed its scope, often to the detriment of a fully fleshed-out narrative and satisfying character development", it still "delivers several effective, psychedelic scenes of suspense and an enjoyable atmosphere of supernatural anxiety." [3]
John Townsend of Starburst rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote: "As far as Lovecraftian adaptations go Witch House is a perfectly acceptable, if rather uninspiring addition. But in attempting to fill out the runtime Easley has lost sight of what really makes this story an intriguing and ultimately horrific one." [4]
Cody Hamman of JoBlo.com gave the film a score of 4/10 and wrote: "A cheap look is easily overcome when the story and/or characters are interesting enough… but the storytelling here is very messy and scattered, and the characters aren’t interesting." [5] Sarah Vincent of Cambridge Day rated the film 1 star out of 4. writing that it "relies on stale Satanic and witch-coven horror tropes". [6]
Michael Talbot-Haynes of Film Threat gave the film a mostly positive review, praising its plot and lead actors, as well as the addition of a mostly female cast and queer narratives. [7]
