Reviews for the Vicious Brothers’ third screenplay have not been sugar coated. Den of Geek! gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, saying: “There is still likely an audience for Extraterrestrial that will appreciate the visual cues and campy tone toward the whole proceedings. However, this is still one horror movie that truly belongs out of this world…and as far away from any movie screen as possible.”
