Reviews:
” …the characters […] are written so well and in such an endearing manner that viewers will want all of them to survive the invasion […] The creatures look pretty cool and get plenty of screen time in the second half. Minore has many different ideas going on, with Koutsoliotas balancing everything marvelously, resulting in a big-hearted creature-feature comedy that comes highly recommended.” Horror Fuel
“This film is pretty funny, but the laughs aren’t nearly as pervasive as I expected them to be […] Minore had some really good gore effects […] But unfortunately, those two strengths aren’t quite enough to save this movie. On the whole, the boring monsters and the weak characters outweigh everything Minore gets right…” Horror Obsessive
“Brimming with Greek authenticity, weird and wonderful special effects and with an aurally enchanting rebetiko soundtrack, Koutsoliotas weaves a tapestry of fantasy, blood, gore and folklore, blended with outrageous action and the darkest of humour. Mixing the every day with the extraordinarily extreme, face off with the monstrous beasts from beyond in Minore and you’ll definitely be going Greek this Summer.” My Bloody Reviews
“While it is always cool to have the air of Lovecraftian mystery floating in the air, and in this case on the water, Minore ponders the mystery of the invasive species for way too long before anything really horrific begins to happen. Sure, everything escalates quickly from the sight of the first tentacles but Minore treads water for such a long time it risks losing casual viewers…” Screen Anarchy
“Wonderful mix of horror and comedy is an absolute delight. Taking the time to create real characters and situations this film gives us a group of people we like and with whom we want to fight the monsters. More importantly, while occasionally having its tongue in its cheek it never lets things spin wildly out of control.” Unseen Films
