	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Annie Billson Telegraph	"A splendidly blasphemous horror-comedy"	POS
United States	Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"It's certainly not for everyone but there is no mistaking de la Iglesia's wildly unique vision (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"De La Iglesia's first film Accion Mutante was one of those near miss efforts that would really like to be a cult movie but tries just a tad too hard. This follow-up, though, is a vast improvement (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Adam Mars-Jones The Independent	"[It] has plenty of spicy scenes to recommend it (...) At two hours, the gore is thick but the fun is spread thin."	NEU
United Kingdom	Nigel Floyd Time Out	"Alex de la Iglesia's clever, more assured follow-up to 'Acción Mutante' is a devilishly funny horror-comedy"	POS
