Bastards of Horror - "It’s a refreshing effort that can chill the hardest of hardcore horror movie fans’ bones and make you feel you are trapped in a Fulci zombie film or a Hammer classic. . . (Midnight Syndicate) prove again that not since Carpenter’s efforts during the 80s has such a collection fit the horror genre and made you as a horror fan want filmmakers to include this soon-to-be classic collection . . . I give this perfect fitting horror genre CD four stars out of four stars."
Synergy Magazine (Australia) - ". . . the ultimate horror movie soundtrack. I consider this to be their very best thus far! . . . an innovative and creative horror score."
