Reaction: While not a hit, Vultures was a nice low-risk profitable project. Make this a second profitable collaboration in a row for writer Clive Steinbeck and director Rob Zombie.

"Vultures is Rob Zombie going full desert-grindhouse: sadistic bikers take over a rundown strip club near the Salton Sea, only for the dancers to fight back in a messy, blood-soaked survival showdown. It’s mean, sleazy, and absolutely committed to its vibe. Not for everyone, but if you like your horror rough and nasty, it hits the spot." - Zeke Browning, Dread Central

"A Western-style horror that swaps horses for motorcycles and delivers exactly the kind of chaos you’d expect from Rob Zombie. The Vultures MC are unflinchingly violent. The women fight back with savage ingenuity. It’s not subtle, and it’s certainly not for the faint of heart. If you're a fan clamoring for Rob Zombie's return to his Firely series, you'll be in for a treat." - Dexter Quinn, Cinematic Observer Newsletter 

"Rob Zombie’s Vultures is a grim little desert horror story that traps a group of dancers in a strip club with a gang of murderous bikers. Zombie has a knack for atmosphere, but overcommits to ugliness and brutality at times. Zombie clearly knows the exploitation tradition he’s drawing from, but Vultures spends so much time wallowing in cruelty that it occasionally forgets to rise above it." - Pierre Herbert, Chicago Sun-Times

Rated R for strong bloody violence, sexual content/nudity, language, and some drug use.
