Reception

John Anderson of Variety wrote that it was probably more fun to make than it is to watch, as horror films have already parodied themselves at length.[2] Bloody Disgusting rated it 4.5/5 stars and wrote, "Hysterical Psycho is by far one of the most absurd films I’ve ever admitted to loving."[3] Mark L. Miller of Ain't It Cool News compared it to Student Bodies and wrote, "There are moments that will definitely make you laugh, but in between those guffaws, I found myself mostly impressed by the intensity and creativity of the scares."[4] Matt Donato of We Got This Covered rated it 2.5/5 stars and wrote, "It's a shame that Hysterical Psycho never really comes together, because there are some hilariously horrifying moments of spoofy slasher goodness to be found here."[5]
