Reception

edit

Collette Hughes of VultureHound wrote that the film "falls into the it’s so bad that it’s good category", and praised the choreography and the Bath's performance.[1]

Scott Foy of Dread Central rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote: "Feeling too forced is probably the biggest thing preventing Evil Feed from achieving the modern grindhouse tone it strives for." Foy also criticised the performances, but called Bath a "standout".[2]

James Perkins of Starburst wrote: "While enjoyable in parts, Evil Feed doesn’t quite live up to its bonkers premise. With too many styles and ideas battling for attention, its brilliantly repulsive moments become a little lost in the mix."[3]

Garry McConnachie of Daily Record rated the film 2 stars out of 5, and wrote that it is "bereft of laughs and scares". However, he also praised Bath's performance, as well as the high body count.[4]
