Reception

Gideon Kibblewhite reviewed No Blood Spilled for Arcane magazine, rating it a 4 out of 10 overall. [1] Kibblewhite comments that "Enjoyable this may be, but it certainly isn't very creepy, and if Daniels intended it to be light-hearted it doesn't make up for the rather cheesy ending. It spirals into a Holmes-versus-Moriarty affair that makes occasionally[ sic ] pleasant, but on the whole, unremarkable entertainment." [1]
