A review at Horror Society stated "The story for this one is a cliched sci-fi and horror hybrid that follows the same song and dance that we’ve seen so many times from the 60s to even today. The genre mashing stories following something crashing to Earth only to kill and possibly eat humans is nothing new."^[6]
