Cohen's obviously having fun with the cheesy clay animation, and Michael Moriarty delivers an inspired, whacked-out performance as a small-time operater who tries to turn the monster into his own private bonanza, but the rest... is disengaged and sloppy.

Pat Graham, Chicago Reader
Rotten

The only movie in which you may ever see a gnawed, bloody skeleton wearing a gold charm bracelet.

We have no hesitation in awarding Oscars all round.
