Reception

edit

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 100% based on 5 reviews.[2] Garry McConnachie of Glasgow Live called the film a "clash of genres that will particularly delight fans of gross-out practical gore and wacky storytelling, all complete with heightened performances from the cast, which make for the perfect blend of horror-comedy."[3]

Rafael Motamayor of /Film gave the film a rating of 8.5/10 and called it "one of the most impressive feature debuts of the year as well as one of the most fun "what-ifs" imaginable".[4]

Film critic Kim Newman called the film an "affectionate, entertaining pastiche".[5]

Anton Bitel of SciFiNow wrote that the film "brings about its own deconstruction, literally collapsing on the ancient foundations that support its knowingly flimsy premise."[6]
