Reviews:
“This thing needed to be cut by 25 to 30 minutes in order to tidy the dispensable up. There’s sub-par lighting, editing and foley at different points throughout the film and sometimes they all converge in the one spot […] A once over the script to fix some of the dialogue, attention to detail in giving the most in regard to makeup, and just more blood in general.” Adam the Movie God
“While it runs too long with many repetitive scenes as Linda drags her white-bagged victims out to sea, or folds and unfolds a chair in her bathing suit, there is a lot to like for the low-budget fan. The monster suits are really nice and I was especially impressed by zombie parrot as well as a tiny ship shot almost exactly like the Ghost Galleon that Amando de Ossorio forged for The Blind Dead.” Exploitation Retrospect
