Reception

Dai Green of Horrornews.net described the film as "a grotesque, bloody, hilarious, testament to what happens when a director knows there is more out there than horror-p*rn flicks," and likened the character of Norma to "a cross between Reese Witherspoon in ‘Freeway’ and Sherrie Moon Zombie in ‘House Of 1000 Corpses’." He gave the film a rating of "four horns". Joe Leydon of Variety thought the film was well cast and that some of the young actors were impressive in their efforts to flesh out their thin roles.
