“Not the entire comedy in There’s Nothing Out There lands – the slapstick gags really feel significantly dated – however the self-referential horror commentary has confirmed to be timeless. There’s additionally a intelligent fourth wall break involving a growth microphone, and the most important snicker of the movie comes from its closing second. It concludes on a excessive notice…” Broke Horror Fan

“Making enjoyable of horror movies whereas embracing them on the identical time is a difficult stability to strike. But, I believed There’s Nothing Out There! did a wonderful job mixing horror and comedy.” Home of Self Indulgence

“There’s one already-famous scene during which a possible sufferer swings out of hazard by grabbing the dangling microphone growth on the high of the body. That’s amusing, however typically, this no-budget parody of display schlock is barely higher than the dreck it imitates.” Videohound’s Full Information to Cult Flicks and Trash Pics
