Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 39% approval rating based on 23 reviews, with an average rating of 5.3/10.

Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote: "Maximum energy meets zero originality to numbing effect in a horror-action-comedy mishmash."[11] Stephen Dalton of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "This bloodthirsty comic-book fantasy is let down by its infantile humor and derivative, incoherent plot."[12]
