Reception

Michael R. Pitts described the film's reception as "mixed" on its initial release.Template:Sfn The New York Times stated that "[T]here is absolutely nothing original in this utterly suspenseless film" while a reviewer in The Sunday Times Signal (Zanesville, Ohio) proclaimed that "Horror fans are in for a thrill [with] the story of dread voodoo murders, horrifying tribal rites and a fantastic feast of death in which lovely and talented Nina Foch plays the woman werewolf whose mother terrorized millions and because of whose sins Nina can never marry."Template:Sfn

In 1962, Joe Dante included the film in his list of worst horror films list in Famous Monsters.Template:Sfn Dante stated the film was "a pretty dismal hunk of nonsense. Tho Nina Foch as the werewoman killed people left & right it was still a bore."Template:Sfn
