Reception
In a retrospective review, Donald Guarisco wrote for AllMovie that the film was a "good illustration of just how fun an exploitation quickie can be", not a plot that was described as "throwaway stuff", but that it "offers plentiful b-movie fun in practice because it puts an accent on action, and throws an endless array of endearingly goofy b-movie plot hooks at the viewer."[3] Discussing the effects, Guarisco found them "cheap looking, particularly the miniature effects. . . but that's really part of the fun for the b-movie fans this is aimed at." and concluded that the film was a "b-movie with specialized appeal but Eurocult fans will likely find it to be a blast of kitschy fun."[3]
