The film is too lazy to provide any actual jokes with its send-up of the genre.

Craven tries to do this 'veggie-man' horror in a suitable DC Comics style; and with Louis Jourdan as arch-villain 'Arcane', not to mention Adrienne Barbeau (Mrs John Carpenter) as the Thing's object of desire, he's definitely on the right track.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

One of those movies that fall somewhere between buried treasures and guilty pleasures.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
[The film] wants desperately to be funny and, from time to time, it is. However, you might wish it would trust the audience to discover the humor for itself.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten
Short on thrills and laughs.
