Reviews:
“The Horrific Evil Monsters is a pulse-pounding, hair-rising, action movie whose level of bizarreness and heart hits home more than the features who inspired it. This is what The Expendables of Horror should really be in the world of independent cinema.” Horror Society
“The SFX blood and gore are kept at a minimum, to the point where there are a couple of grisly bits (mostly around Anna), and many of the other deaths are more cartoonish […] As a stand-alone story, this works and, actually not knowing some of the previous storylines (i.e., the William Sanders character), it actually enhances the surprise element […] Mostly, this is a great film…” Indie Horror Films
“The script by Adam and Kristin Steigert, while not laugh out loud funny, is full of grin-inducing moments. Never taking itself quite seriously, it pokes fun at horror and superhero tropes without ever becoming an outright parody. While I was expecting a more straightforward, and darker, film, this probably was the best way to go with The Horrific Evil Monsters given its budget and plot.” Voices from the Balcony
Alex Creed [Bishop Stevens]: “Alright, I can’t do this anymore.”

The Horrific Evil Monsters will be released on VOD in 2021.

MOVIES & MANIA says:
This is clearly a spoof and tongue-in-cheek but the overacting by most of the cast is amateurish and in some cases, particularly Dawna Lee Heising’s pantomime performance, quite painful to watch. During ‘action’ scenes the extras just stand around looking lost. The almost constant background library music during dialogue scenes hardly helps any pretence of professionalism. Steigert’s Ombis: Alien Invasion was self-aware crude yet entertainingly shoddy. This is just horrific. And not in a good way.
