Reception

Scott Foy of Dread Central rated it 1.5/5 stars and called it "a cheap, dull, ugly-looking movie with ugly characters and a monster that remains uninspired despite the unsavory nature of this beast."[2] Adam Arseneau of DVD Verdict wrote that both the premise and execution are bad.[3]

Damien Taymans of https://cinemafantastique.net says: "Reducing your considerations to these details would be tantamount to pillorying the slightest French production on the pretext that it does not correspond to Hollywood canons. And, in this area, Dying God does not pretend to fart higher than his butt. A nice unpretentious B series which is much better than amphetamine and disembodied blockbusters for brainless teens (who spoke of pleonasm?)." https://cinemafantastique.net/Dying-God.html

Adrian Halen from https://horrornews.net/ remarks: "This feature probably won’t make full pricing but it may be ok for a lower priced movie of the week moment. I know a fair amount of horror fans who will roll their eyes and complain, the rest of us might be ok with a SYFY-like movie production. You could pretty much chalk this up to a tv series episode and find a home for its look and feel. The violence and gore at times might be a little more racy than prime time but thats a bonus in this case." https://horrornews.net/29980/film-review-final-spawn-aka-dying-god-2008/
