Reception

Gareth Jones of Dread Central rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 wrote that it is "predominantly a barely coherent mess", though it "still retains a level of charm owing to its punk-rock sensibilities and general attitude." Ed Fortune of Starburst called it "poorly directed, badly shot, the pacing is terrible and the plot makes no sense, becoming incoherent at times." However, he also opined that the dialogue is "really good" and that the "mix of funny lines, exploitation kitsch and sub-culture setting almost guarantees that it will become a cult classic." Horror Society gave the film a 4/5 rating and called it a "rockabilly horror show for the ages."
DailyGrindhouse.com called the film "a gleefully bloody tale of a roller derby team against the supernatural, and it's just as energetic and fun as the sport itself."
Felix Vasquez Jr. from Cinema Crazed wrote in his review "There's still a lot of potential for more great movies about the Roller Derby lifestyle, and MurderDrome just isn't it."
