Reception

London Voodoo received mostly negative reviews upon its release. Dennis Harvey from Variety gave the film a mixed review, writing, "Maintaining a straight face even as the action takes a turn toward the ludicrous, English horror entry London Voodoo should please genre fans, though it lacks the originality or name thesps that might’ve merited theatrical pickup."^[2]
