- 88The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzA delirious, disgusting and delightfully dark concoction, this low-budget movie is the latest throwback creation from Steven Kostanski (Manborg, The Void), whose artistic vision seems perma-stuck in the sugary-cereal haze of a Saturday morning circa 1989.
- 85Paste MagazineMary Beth McAndrewsPaste MagazineMary Beth McAndrewsPsycho Goreman is a necessary explosion of ridiculous fun in a time when it’s needed most. Fans of practical effects and over-the-top horror-comedy will instantly fall in love.
- 80IGNRafael MotamayorIGNRafael MotamayorPG: Psycho Goreman is campy, ridiculous, and low-budget, and it absolutely owns it.
- 75Original-CinJim SlotekOriginal-CinJim SlotekWith winks at the cheesiness of a previous generation’s entertainment and a razzberry directed at contemporary blockbusters with a thousand times its minuscule budget, Psycho Goreman is an entertaining exercise in low-tech sci-fi camp.
- 70VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen GleibermanAs satire, Psycho Goreman is no “Planet Terror,” but it’s a droll enough schlock-in-quote-marks diversion, and part of its appeal is just how damn cheap it is. In the omni-tech era, it’s fun to see a filmmaker build an FX fantasy out of scraps, from the ground up.

- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreYes, it gets gassed about a half hour in, with things not picking up much until the Big Finale. But those who like this sort of thing — horror played for laughs, a cult-movie by design — will surely find this the sort of thing they like.
- 58The Film StageJared MobarakThe Film StageJared MobarakBy never attempting to give anyone on-screen a path towards redemption, Kostanski keeps things entertaining.
- 50Slant MagazinePat BrownSlant MagazinePat BrownThis tongue-in-cheek gorefest gives the impression of an only semi-coherent joke on the audience.
- 38RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsPsycho Goreman isn’t clever or lively enough to be more than fitfully fun, especially given how much time is spent mocking generic, but painstakingly recreated plot contrivances.
