Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 39% approval rating based on 23 reviews, with an average rating of 5.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Nekrotonic has plenty of oddball energy, but this horror-comedy hybrid mashes up ingredients without much of a clear idea of what to do with them."[9] On Metacritic it has a score of 25% based on reviews from 4 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[10]

Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote: "Maximum energy meets zero originality to numbing effect in a horror-action-comedy mishmash."[11] Stephen Dalton of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "This bloodthirsty comic-book fantasy is let down by its infantile humor and derivative, incoherent plot."[12]
