I, Monster received a mixed reception from critics upon its release.

Rotten Tomatoes' critics consensus describes it as 'a serviceable adaptation with a few creepy moments, but lacks the originality and depth of the source material'.

Despite its flaws, I, Monster remains a cult classic for fans of vintage horror cinema.
