- 30Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayAggressively ugly and gross, the movie boasts a certain low-rent authenticity, but the auteur never figures out how to fill his grubby little rooms.

They're hard to read through the over-the-top grossness and weak acting, but it's probably that gentrification is good, poor people and assorted lowlifes don't deserve prime real estate, and Sean Penn's baby girl needs a better agent.
- 20VarietyGeoff BerkshireVarietyGeoff BerkshireWriter-director Eli Morgan Gesner (a clothing designer and skateboarder who previously helmed the skateboarding and hip-hop doc “Concrete Jungle”) could have milked the premise for gleeful counterculture exploitation (like a 21st-century “Basket Case”) or campy John Waters-style gross-out comedy, but settles for mean-spirited banality.
- 10The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckOne of the most egregiously awful horror films in recent memory.
