Critics have noted that while the film’s special effects are decidedly low-budget, they contribute to its charm. One reviewer remarked, 'The practical effects may be lacking, but they add a vintage vibe that fans of 80s horror can appreciate.' On Rotten Tomatoes, while there are no official critic scores, audience reviews reflect a divergence in opinion, with one viewer calling it 'so bad it's good,' while another described it as 'a tedious affair that fails to engage.' Metacritic users have echoed similar sentiments, giving it a user score of around 5.5. Many viewers have pointed out the film's pacing issues, stating, 'The first half drags on with little action before the real chaos begins.' Ultimately, 'Attack of the Beast Creatures' seems to resonate with those who enjoy low-budget horrors for their camp value, but fails to gain praise in traditional cinematic terms.
