Reyna Cervantes of IGN gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "Unfortunately it’s also held back by some uneven storytelling and humor that doesn’t always land. There’s a lot of fun and scares to be had, but ultimately, like most horror anthologies, your mileage may vary."[16]
Erik Piepenburg of The New York Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "This anthology of films from five Latino filmmakers sadly doesn’t live up to the promise of devilish short-form horror that its title foreshadows."[1]
J Hurtado of Screen Anarchy gave the film a positive review and wrote, "What do you get when you bring five of the most talented Hispanic genre filmmakers in the indie space together on a horrorific anthology project? A whole lot of bloody fun, and that’s exactly what Satanic Hispanics delivers."[17]
Josh Bell of Comic Book Resources also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "As a showcase for a group of underappreciated Latino horror filmmakers, Satanic Hispanics accomplishes its goal."[18]
Matthew Jackson of Paste also gave the film a positive review, calling it "an absolute blast of gore, laughter and surprising emotional heft."[19]
