Reception Charlie Cargile of PopHorror called the film a "loving tribute to the splatter films of the 80’s" and praised the performances of McCarthy, Vano, Barrett and Steenson, as well as the characterisation of the characters Nash and Ava. Jacob Davison of iHorror.com gave the film a score of 3.5/5 and wrote: "While not the most inventive horror comedy, and leaning perhaps a bit much on the nostalgia factor, I can still appreciate that Chamber of Terror has a lot of drive and inventiveness. A madcap crime comedy turned splattterflick with some decent reveals that really made it stand out." Davison praised the setting, calling it "just as much a character as anyone else in the film", as well as the FX. Brendan Jesus of Horror Obsessive wrote: "There is a good movie somewhere in this mess, but its almost accidental B-ness of it all just muddies the waters and makes the movie feel more like a drag and less like a romp."
