Reception

Horror Society was critical of the film while also stating that "Ferguson and company took a time where people are panicking and turned it into a way to express himself. I would have chose a different approach but at least he spent his time making movies and not bitching about politics on the internet."[10] Another review, at Reel Reviews, was more appreciative of the funny aspects of the film, as did other reviews[11] [12] including one at CBR, calling it a mockbuster.
