According to Hellman, "That was probably the most fun I've ever had because I was the producer, writer, and director, and I had absolute control over the crew and how the money was spent and everything. It was really fantastic, plus the fact that it was totally off the wall stuff—it was like Saturday Night Fever." In 2008, a colorized version was released by Legend Films.

Sindelar also criticized the poor design of the monster. TV Guide awarded the film two out of four stars, calling the film "entertaining".
