Release Critical response Andrew Dowler of the Toronto Now writes that Die Screaming, Marianne begins well but "founders in an exposition quagmire until the not-particularly-shocking climax". Gary A. Smith sums up the film as a "fairly cheesy affair" despite "some effective sequences". Ian Jane of DVD Talk praises Susan George's performance and regards the film as a well-paced "decent little thriller, even if there are a few too many loose ends for its own good". Troy Howarth praises the film's dark humour and describes some of its set pieces as "marvellous" but concludes that it "ultimately strains under the weight of its own excess" and ends up being "less than the sum of its parts". He regards the film as exposition-heavy and over-long, arguing that it "suffers from Walker's tendency toward over-stuffing his movies with incident".
