	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"Despite some enjoyably lurid visual effects work, the central story simply lacks the wit or originality to make much impact beyond indulgent fanboy circles."	NEG
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] seems to be having such a good time with itself that you almost feel churlish for finding the party an overbearing slog (...) Even the stray genuinely funny idea gets lost"	NEG
United States	Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting	"Technically speaking, the film boasts a plethora of special effects to showcase (...) Where [it] falters, or the component that most dampens its enthusiastically juvenile appeal, is the formulaic plot (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Canada	Barry Hertz The Globe and Mail	"An awkward, painful mash-up of horror and comedy that induces all the wrong kind of squirms, 'Nekrotronic' feels like a Z-grade SyFy Channel movie that escaped its basic-cable confines (…) Rating: ½★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"[It] is 'fun,' but often in an off-putting, aggressive way. The Roache-Turners have prioritized fleeting moments of gross-out humor and special-effects dazzle over a controlled pace, or careful world-building."	NEU
United States	David Nusair Reel Film	"Exceedingly tedious virtually from start to finish (...) The filmmaker's style-over-substance sensibilities quickly pave the way for a maddeningly broad narrative that's often as nonsensical as it is familiar (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
