Reception
[edit | edit source]Charlie Cargile of PopHorror called the film a "loving tribute to the splatter films of the 80’s" and praised the performances of McCarthy, Vano, Barrett and Steenson, as well as the characterisation of the characters Nash and Ava.[2] Jacob Davison of iHorror.com gave the film a score of 3.5/5 and wrote: "While not the most inventive horror comedy, and leaning perhaps a bit much on the nostalgia factor, I can still appreciate that Chamber of Terror has a lot of drive and inventiveness. A madcap crime comedy turned splattterflick with some decent reveals that really made it stand out." Davison praised the setting, calling it "just as much a character as anyone else in the film", as well as the FX.[3] Brendan Jesus of Horror Obsessive wrote: "There is a good movie somewhere in this mess, but its almost accidental B-ness of it all just muddies the waters and makes the movie feel more like a drag and less like a romp."[4]
