Critical response

Joe Bob Briggs wrote of the film: "Nine dead bodies. Multiple blinding. One raven attack. Mirror licking. Table-saw to the back. Arm hacking. Gratuitous demon that goes by so fast you can blink and miss it. Spider Fu. Drive-In Academy Award nominations for Tracy Wells, as the bimbo in peril, for saying "Does God hate me? Am I cursed?" and "My whole life is dancing.""[4] In his book The Horror Show Guide, Mike Mayo wrote: "The effects are the only thing this one has going for itself. They range from a guy in a silly rubber suit to some really good, inventive work done with lights at computers."[5]
