The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzJan 19, 2021
A delirious, disgusting and delightfully dark concoction, this low-budget movie is the latest throwback creation from Steven Kostanski (Manborg, The Void), whose artistic vision seems perma-stuck in the sugary-cereal haze of a Saturday morning circa 1989. Read full review

Paste MagazineMary Beth McAndrewsJan 23, 2021
Psycho Goreman is a necessary explosion of ridiculous fun in a time when it’s needed most. Fans of practical effects and over-the-top horror-comedy will instantly fall in love. Read full review

Film ThreatRob RectorFeb 9, 2021
The movie’s ability to flirt with the familiar and completely turn it on its head is what keeps Psycho Goreman so perversely fresh and fun throughout. It never once betrays its dark heart and continually trots out practical creature effects that tumble out of a GWAR nightmare that keep it engaging, unique, and deliciously deviant all the way to the closing credits.

PG: Psycho Goreman is campy, ridiculous, and low-budget, and it absolutely owns it. Read full review

Original-CinJim SlotekJan 20, 2021
With winks at the cheesiness of a previous generation’s entertainment and a razzberry directed at contemporary blockbusters with a thousand times its minuscule budget, Psycho Goreman is an entertaining exercise in low-tech sci-fi camp. Read full review

Screen RantDebopriyaa DuttaJan 28, 2021
Often ridiculous, yet perennially fun, Psycho Goreman is a clever, schlocky genre-mash with characters one cannot help but ultimately root for. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanJan 21, 2021
As satire, Psycho Goreman is no “Planet Terror,” but it’s a droll enough schlock-in-quote-marks diversion, and part of its appeal is just how damn cheap it is. In the omni-tech era, it’s fun to see a filmmaker build an FX fantasy out of scraps, from the ground up. Read full review

Will good triumph over evil? Who cares, when there's this much chaotic creature fun to be had. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJan 21, 2021
Yes, it gets gassed about a half hour in, with things not picking up much until the Big Finale. But those who like this sort of thing — horror played for laughs, a cult-movie by design — will surely find this the sort of thing they like. Read full review

The GuardianLeslie FelperinMay 20, 2021
It’s no surprise to learn Kostanski has worked as a special makeup artist on bigger budget projects such as Suicide Squad and It, but this proves he has a way with actors as much as a knack for latex and fake blood. Read full review

The Film StageJared MobarakJan 20, 2021
By never attempting to give anyone on-screen a path towards redemption, Kostanski keeps things entertaining. Read full review

Slant MagazinePat BrownJan 17, 2021
This tongue-in-cheek gorefest gives the impression of an only semi-coherent joke on the audience. Read full review

Psycho Goreman isn’t clever or lively enough to be more than fitfully fun, especially given how much time is spent mocking generic, but painstakingly recreated plot contrivances. Read full review
