Reception

The film had a generally poor reception, with critic Chris Wood stating: "''Disciple of Death'' is the worst film I have ever seen. It is quite simply a stinker of remarkable ineptitude – featuring the worst performance by a leading man in the history of celluloid, some truly pitiful special effects, a story which beggars belief and camerawork and direction which… well, I despair." Other critics had the same reaction.
