Reviews for the film were positive with Pophorror.com calling it "Both Brutally Honest And Strangely Comforting". Horrornews.net concluded that, "Her Name Was Christa is nothing short of amazing. While I’m not certain I would call it a horror movie it is a twisted love story that contains horror elements as well as its share of disturbing and shocking scenes. I haven’t had a film impact me this much since I saw the likes of
Make-out with Violence,
The Dead Girl, and
Megan Is Missing. Even though I loved this film I felt the need to check out some cartoons after I watched it just so I felt a little better." Myindieproductions.com stated that, "With
Her Name Was Christa, James manages to deliver an effective gut-punch and give us an eerie spin on the festering, debilitating effects of loneliness and loss." == References ==
