Reception

Matthew Solomon of PopHorror praised the performances and wrote that while the film "might not have the polish of a big-budget blockbuster" and "makes up for it with pure puck chuckles and mayhem."^[1] Daniel Wilder of HorrorFuel wrote: "The final verdict on Ahockalypse is that while there is a deficit of decent laughs and craziness in the film, it does possess plenty of zombie battlin’ action, some engaging performances, and it’s never boring so there’s that for ya."^[2]

J. Hurtado of ScreenAnarchy opined that it is "as if they couldn't decide if they wanted to make the film a series of loosely connected gags or an actual film in which the characters are meant to draw our empathy" and that it "ails on both counts, not delivering memorable enough gags, nor characters with whom we are interested in spending eighty minutes."^[3] Laura D. Girolamo of Exclaim! gave the film a score of 2/10 and wrote: "Playing off shoddy work and a lack of attention to detail with regards to not only the effects, but writing and directing, as just something genre audiences should come to expect from pulpy B-movies is downright offensive."^[4] Michael Gingold of Rue Morgue called it a "staggeringly unfunny mix of sports and zombies that qualifies only as an 80-minute foul."^[5]
