	Media	Author	Review
		Alex DiVincenzo Bloody Disgusting	"Dr. Giggles succeeds in large part because Drake fully commits to the absurdity"
		Bill Cosford Miami Herald	"Yes, it's junk. But it's funny junk, and it seems even to suggest a filmmaking intelligence"
		Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"'Dr. Giggles' is one horror comedy that actually is laugh-out-loud funny, a fast and frequently hilarious collision of gore and gags"
		Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"It does manage to mix humor and horror in a way that very few films ever manage successfully."
		Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle	"If the film has any value at all it's as an example to illustrate the point that even a mediocre horror movie requires a certain amount of inspiration"
		Richard Harrington The Washington Post	"This Dr. Giggles has a lot of hearts and no brain"
