IMDb users rated it 5.1/10, describing it as a unique but uneven thriller. The New York Times called it a 'darkly comic meditation on the terrors of the workplace'. Variety remarked that the film was 'an intriguing experiment in genre-bending'. Despite its flaws, "Office Killer" remains a cult favorite among fans of psychological thrillers.
