"Has a grisly sense of humor, and sometimes is so gross and over the top the film tips over into a bizarre comedy."

—

Variety

"A gross-out slapsticker to rival The Evil Dead."

—

Total Film

"The injection of humour into HP Lovecraft's 1922 tale is what saves this splatterfest from being mere fodder for gorehounds."

—

Time Out

"We have been assaulted by a lurid imagination, amazed by unspeakable sights, blind-sided by the movie's curiously dry sense of humor. I guess that's our money's worth."

—

Roger Ebert

"It's simply the best, funniest Grand Guignol horror picture to come along in ages."

—

Los Angeles Times

"The plot... took a genre obsessed with masked killers, monsters et al, completely by storm.http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/review.asp?DVDID=119906"
