L.A. Weekly by Chuck Wilson

This low-budget horror comedy arrives via a lively trailer and a witty print ad, yet the film itself never quite takes off.

Variety by Joe Leydon

Indie effort evidences more energy than wit, and spends too much time on set-up before a slam-bang pay-off.

63

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

Cheerfully gross, deliberately retro horror picture pays tongue-in-cheek homage to the kind of genre movies Charles Band and Roger Corman's companies turned out in the 1980s.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

Matthews is supposed to be the star here, but it's Englund's hilarious, over-the-top performance that keeps Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, by director Jon Knautz, from becoming another forgettable exercise in horror.
