Reception Critical reception has been predominantly negative. heavy.com panned the film, writing that it "is not the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but that’s only because it’s 30 minutes shorter than Sorority Girls’ Revenge, and when you get to a certain level of awfulness, it only matters how long it lasts." The Washington Post also wrote a brief, negative review of the film where they remarked that Taintlight was "a "Twilight" spoof that was too sorry for even a single review on RottenTomatoes.com." In his book Fervid Filmmaking, Mike Watt wrote that the lead actors' impressions of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were "dead on".
