- 70Village VoiceRob StaegerVillage VoiceRob StaegerBishop isn't afraid to leave the club behind, confidently expanding beyond the seedy premise to become a three-way chase among the bachelor party guys, the club management, and a ferocious supernatural force.
- 70Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayFor the most part this is a clever and confident expansion of a terrific short. It stings less but packs plenty of poison.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe screenplay finds ways to make this more involving than the average flee-the-monster storyline and, by the genre's standards, direction and performances rate reasonably well.
- 67The Film StageJared MobarakThe Film StageJared MobarakBesides an unnecessarily indulgent epilogue, the film’s good versus evil dynamic is successful at extricating itself from any mainstream trappings while also nicely serving its audience.

- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreIt’s rarely scary. But the effects suggest a bigger budget than “SiRENS” might have warranted. And a couple of those are downright impressive and add to the feeling that this indie Satanic slasher pic is punching above its weight class.

- 40The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe film, directed by Gregg Bishop and released by the Chiller Films horror factory, has a few good special effects, but it’s too noisy and scattershot to be suspenseful.
- 38RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoRogerEbert.comBrian TallericoIt's a movie lost somewhere in the middle: too weird to be believable, not weird enough to be memorable.
