Reaction: Not crazy numbers, but the film managed a tidy profit thanks to a targeted marketing strategy and low expenses. It looks like Clive Steinbeck's "Creature Feature" anthology series will live to see another film...
"Jersey Devil is much more in line with Smith's work on Tusk and Red State than it is with the rest of his filmography. That's a good thing here though, as he has crafted a slick looking, quick moving horror story that has a lot of fun with the genre." - Justin Rodriguez, Detroit Free Press
"A B-movie by anyone's definition, Jersey Devil embraces that status to its fullest. It's not a film for everyone, in fact most general audience members probably won't like it too much, but I had a blast with it." - James Tubbs Jr., Vice Magazine
"While the film features a fun role for Christopher Walken, the rest of the film is unfocused and too silly to sell any scares, and not funny enough to sell any comedy." - Ben Bernard, New York Times

Rated R for graphic violence and gore, drug use and some strong language.
