Blood Cult received mostly negative reviews from critics. Justin Kerswell, from Hysteria Lives!, awarded the film 1/5 stars, due to the film's lack of suspense/thrills, "laughable" dialogue and for having "the most unattractive cast in slasher movie history".[2] Josh G. from Oh, the Horror hated the film, stating that the film started out well, but was ruined by poor acting, gore effects, "ridiculous dialogue", and ending. Josh concluded his review by calling it "the cure for sleeplessness".[3]
Todd Martin from HorrorNews.net gave the film a positive review, while also noting the film's poor acting, and special effects. Martin concluded his review by stating, "Yes, it is cheesy as hell and a little over the top at times but if you’re a fan of corny low budget horror flicks then you will most likely dig it as much as I did."[4]
