Reception



From retrospective reviews, Andrew Crump of 'Fangoria' found that the film on paper seemed like "Japanese genre cinema at its wackiest" but was more like a 'Scooby-Doo' mystery and was "shockingly middle of the road verging on tame" and concluded that the film was "a movie of bungled opportunity with plenty to say about the era it was made."
