San Francisco Chronicle, said, "Despite the fact that three huge dogs are pictured on the cover, two hellhounds appear in the movie – and they're only a little bit bigger than regular dogs. '

Dread Central said, "A pack of satanic Marmadukes would have been more frightening." Justin Felix of
DVD Talk wrote, "Rent it, if you're a fan of the Maneater series and like this sort of thing. (I can honestly say I've seen worse from the series.) All others can safely skip it." ==Home video==
