Critical reception for The Reverend has been predominantly negative. Much of the criticism centered around the films plot, as most reviewers felt that the movie did not live up to its full potential. Twitch Film heavily panned the film and commented that The Reverend is that rare beast, in other words, a terrible film that thinks its onto a winner if you want to see how terrible, then go right ahead, but everyone else should stay well away. Shock Till You Drop also gave a negative review and stated that the films cast was wasted, as You can have a star in the film in a two minute scene and have them steal the show. That doesnt happen here. Starburst gave a mixed review, stating that while the movie was ultimately scuppered by its lack of focus and the fact that its way too ambitious for both its budget and the capabilities of its director it isnt a disaster of biblical proportions and can charitably be filed under interesting failure.
