Critic Reviews

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    ...an unapologetically ludicrous horror effort that often skirts the very edges of camp without going entirely over.

  • Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

  • James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette

    It was a good idea to create the ultimate body horror, but the poor direction didn't provide any shock or horror. I like the story line and nice acting from Jeff Fahey, but the rest were pretty terrible, The problem with the film is that it's so not scary, though it had some… More
