[10] Dennis Harvey of Variety called the film mildly amusing and tepid compared to much better zombie spoofs, which he said are played out.

"[12] Tom Becker of DVD Verdict wrote that it is "a funny and original faux documentary that works as a social satire as well as a send up of the horror subgenre made famous by George Romero.

"[13] Heather Seebach of Shock Till You Drop wrote that it "provides a clever idea with elements of social commentary and self-parody.

"[15] In a mixed review, Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter said that "the satire is highly uneven, and the whole enterprise is a bit too drawn out to retain its irreverent momentum.

"[16] Academic Peter Dendle called the film a "discerning, carefully thought out contribution to the genre" that "is never reducible to a preachy, thinly veiled metaphor".
