Variety

Not the cleverest or most original horror comedy, Andy Palmer's indie feature is nonetheless above average within that subgenre, offering fast-paced fun for fans.

Los Angeles Times

The minimal story quickly devolves into one methodical murder after another - their effect blunted by the jokey tone.

The problem is that "The Funhouse Massacre" isn't particularly funny or scary, and if there is supposed to be an element of satire about our contemporary inability to sort out what's real from what's not, well, that falls flat, too.

Rated: 2/4

Cinema Crazed

... a fun Halloween Time film with lots of kills, gore, and decent acting to go with it all. With six crazed killers, it could have easily have become a mess, but it works here.

Rated: 4/5

With a range of maniacs that hit almost every serial killer trope and expert special F/X by Robert Kurtzman, it definitely feels like a throwback film.

Great acting all around and some fun spurts of massacre for the gory fans. The comedy felt a bit quirky and awkward at times but would definitely be more fun to watch with friends or intoxicated to shave the edge off a bit. There were some interesting concepts in the film but it felt like they could've been executed better or emphasized in some ways such as the personalities of the serial killers and their darkness. Definitely less serious of a horror movie and almost edging on the corniness of the Scary Movie franchise at times.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Oh dear this was not good. The film is riddled with plot holes and poor character decisions. The comedy is mild at best. Pace is pretty dire. On the plus side, the acting is actually okay, the vast majority of the effects are practical making them feel real and the core concept is quite good. The problems with the writing permeates into the whole film making it less than entertaining. It's a low budget film but the technical issues are a bit unforgivable – some shots are out-of-focus and the sound design is a total mess. I realise that they have to prioritise dialogue but why is there large moments without a background noise? In the titular massacre there is no screaming or crowd noise at all. Not worth watching.
