Critical reception
DVD Talk made note that being written, directed, and produced by Frank Sudol, the film "is quite literally a one-man show." They wrote that as a "crudely animated tale" from an individual otherwise known for his work as an artist on South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, the film "is a very interesting curiosity." They also note Sudol multi-tasking as animator, musician, and the vocal artist for all the characters. Noting that Dead Fury is not sucessful as a feature-length film, they praise Sudol by writing "kudos to Sudol for sticking to his vision and making it." They also shared that in his commentrary track, Sudol spoke toward a number of films that inspired the creation of Dead Fury, including Friday the 13th, but that the film was " clearly a homage to The Evil Dead and The Hills Have Eyes". They also noted that while the film has a great deal of gore, "its gore and over-the-top violence are played for laughs primarily." They wrote that there was much to admire in the film, but that the action became repetitive. They conclude that fans of "gory horror films would probably find Dead Fury entertaining", and that it's "creative enough for other movie fans to add it to their rental lists." But summarized that the film would have been beter as a 25-minute short.[1]
Conversely, Dread Central found no flaws. The reviewer made note that the film was from the same individual who created City of Rott, and that he was initially worried that Dead Fury might not favorable compare to the earlier film. After veiwing, he was able to state it "not only remains on top of its game, but it outdoes City of Rott at every turn!" The reviwer also noted that the film was was not a sequel, but was instead an original story that "takes its cues from horror favorites The Evil Dead and The Hills Have Eyes," acting as an homage and "absolute love letter to the films that it borrows from."

Speaking highly toward the DVD extras including an audio commentary by Sudol, the reviewer wrote it was "just as funny as the movie itself," and concluded by writing "Dead Fury is without question the ultimate experience in grueling animated horror."[2]
