This starts off very averagely, with quite a few dodgy accents and acting and unfortunately as a result, this doesn't give the film a positive outlook from the beginning. However, the turn-around is intensely surprising and the film just keeps getting better and better as it carries on.
(Gary Ogden, Evildread.com)
Almost entirely set in a single building in and around a series of booby-trapped corridors, the movie veers from fart gags and joke beheadings/impaling to all-purpose weirdness, including a deliberately hokey puppet rat with a tendency to drag along freshly severed heads... The plot descends into incoherence and parts of the movie are a little self conscious, but this genre-bending oddity is quirky in an appealing sort of way and at its best captures a sense of inspired lunacy reminiscent of early Zucker brothers comedies and the Evil Dead trilogy.
(Steven West, Horror Review)
