A deliriously trashy, exuberantly vulgar, lavishly appointed exploitation picture, this weird combo of road-kill movie and martial-arts vampire gorefest is made to order for the stimulation of teenage boys.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Fresh
On a mindless exploitation level this is pretty good, but on other levels it seems to make promises that it fails to deliver on.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
A tired, humorless pastiche of various exploitation genres that is not the least bit imaginative in its campy deconstruction of conventions.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Rotten
Mr. Rodriguez demonstrates his talents more clearly than ever -- he's visually inventive, quick-witted and a fabulous editor -- while still hampering himself with sophomoric material.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
