Reviews

Mindwarp has been praised for its visuals [2]. A review by Love Horror film reviews and news describes it as “disappointingly under explored in favour of gruesome gore and post-apocalyptic nastiness” [3]. A review by Horror Cult Films describes it as “a fine piece of pulply schlock sci-fi” [4].
