      Austin Chronicle

      This is horror with a wink and a nod to drive-in theatres and sweaty back seats. This is how it's done.

      It's great fun, but certainly not great art.

      The New York Times

      Mr. Rodriguez demonstrates his talents more clearly than ever -- he's visually inventive, quick-witted and a fabulous editor -- while still hampering himself with sophomoric material.

      The New Yorker

      The movie's horror-comics second half is cheesy, derivative, and ultimately a little wearying. But it's also unpretentious and insanely cheerful.

      Newsweek

      Robert Rodriguez's second effort is a funny, craftily written piece of low-grade horror crapola.

      Chicago Reader

      On a mindless exploitation level this is pretty good, but on other levels it seems to make promises that it fails to deliver on; none of the deaths carries any moral weight, and the climactic special-effects free-for-all tends to drown out all other interests.

      San Francisco Examiner

      Spiritually it's a John Woo-George Romero-Jim Thompson picture, outrageously bloody and weird.

      Washington Post

      It's a triumph of vile over content; mindless nihilism posing as hipness.
