Critical response

AllMovie wrote, "this groan-inducing would-be camp [...] boasts some good makeup by Kevin Yagher but is still easily the worst of the '90s crop of fairy-tale horrors."[5] JoBlo.com's Arrow in the Head reviewed the movie in 2019, stating that "Listen, RUMPELSTILTSKIN is no award-winner, we all understand that. However, the movie is much better than the 10% box-office return it suffered on its already modest budget. It’s fast, fun, funny, gory, and knowingly pokes fun of itself as nothing more than a dark farcical fairytale."[6]

Most reviews by the general public are polarized, both citing the film's absurdity as the deciding factor in their opinion.[7] Fans of the movie would say that Rumpelstiltskin is a prime example of the "movies so bad that they're actually good" genre.
