Reception

Nerdly said, "there’s enough original ideas here to keep even the most jaded of zombie movie fan watching."[5] Another reviewer said, "With a decent enough budget, what most will really remember about Sick Boy is the cinematography. It looks great and helps ramp up the tension during the middle portion of the film which is when it’s at its best. Such a shame."[6]
