Reception

Dread Central rated the film a score of 2.5 out of 5, stating that the film "never quite reaches the giddy b-movie heights of similar slithery cult favorites Slugs and Squirm".[3] HorrorNews.net gave the film a positive review, writing, "It’s cheesy, self-referencing, has no pretense at all, and it’s just a stupid good time. If you go into it expecting a horror film, you will hate it. But if you come into it realizing it is farce, you will enjoy every minute of it."[4] Andre Manseau from Arrow in the Head awarded the film a rating of 4/10, criticizing the film's wooden acting, poor special effects, and erratic characters.[5]
