Reception

''PopHorror.com'' wrote, "While ''Headless'' might prove a bit too much for some viewers, those in the market for more extreme and depraved fare will do themselves a disservice if they pass tup." Richard Taylor from ''Severed Cinema'' awarded the film 4/5 stars, calling it "one of the top horror movies of the year" while noting that it "gasses out a bit by the time the final act rolls out".
