"Malatesta's Carnival of Blood approaches the intersection of refined gothic horror, scummy drive-in exploitation, and Eurotrash fever dreams; rather than do so cautiously, it plunges headlong, creating a messy but compelling collision, leaving viewers to sift through the malformed wreckage." Bill Gibron from DVD Talk gave the film 3/5 stars, noting that although it wasn't a classic, he stated that the film "does contain a decisive doorway into Christopher Eric Speeth's addteurism".
