It works as a funny and slicker-than-expected parody of the genre.

Who knows what might have happened if he had the time and the leverage to smooth out the rough edges, but material this junky can only be salvaged for so much scrap.
Scott Tobias, AV Club

When monsters attack, the camera gets all jerky, creating the horror effect known as motion sickness.
Michael Esposito, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
While the reality television series that chronicled the making of this low-budget horror film last year was extremely entertaining, the piece of cinema that resulted is kind of a bore.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
[Director John Gulager] shows a little flair for the genre, though the editing is so frenetic you really can't see what's going on (a blessing, considering how cheesy the monsters look and move).
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
