Cruddy, primal, extremely violent, and fairly entertaining, it captures some of the snot-flicking spirit of the old EC comics.

It all falls apart after an hour, chunks of the preceding entertainment reappearing as random montages.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fresh
[It] may be trash, but it has a maniacally farcical sense of humor, and Tromaville's evildoers are dispatched in ingenious ways.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Fresh
An outlandish mix of gory violence and realistic special effects.
