The New York Times
This movie has the humor and insouciant pileup of bizarre and disgustingly beautiful images of a cult classic on late-night cable. - 50
The Dissolve
Hellbenders mostly feels like a doodle, an amiable lark that will amuse genrephiles and anyone else with their sights set appropriately low. - 40
Village Voice
Aided by capable if unnecessary 3D effects, Petty displays a flair for staging violent action, but he's trapped inside a broad comic set-up that doesn't mesh with the story's innate meanness. - 40
Variety
Hellbenders becomes what it intends to burlesque, and that’s not so damn funny, even with 3D gimmickry. - 38

One of those films that expends so much time and effort in trying to become the next big cult sensation that it never gets around to simply being a good movie.
