Reception[edit]
In a review for Horror News, Todd Martin wrote, "Each segment is great in its own unique way and you can tell that everyone involved with this film put their hearts and souls into it, and it really shows. I honestly can’t say anything bad about this film and hope it gets the love and respect that it deserves as it truly is an awesome movie."[3]
Horror Society's Blacktooth reviewed the film concluding that, "The film isn’t that gory but if you are look for some fun kills and decent make-up effects then I highly suggest giving this one a spin. Overall, Brimstone Incorporated is a fantastic horror anthology that is a lot of fun. I highly recommend checking this one out. You will not be disappointed."[4]
