An underrated 80s horror film, with a cool plot, but cheesy effects. A good rent if you're looking for something interesting and cheesy. 6/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
Typically erratic Cohen fare has his usual campy approach and is competently done but at the same time is somewhat tedious and runs out of steam until the pretty good 'monster on a famous landmark' finale.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
This is one of the great, fun monster films--the cornball special effects and weird situations just make the film endearing, not trying. Q is also one of the best-made monster films, to my mind...  --Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)

Hilarious stop-motion animation effects and lots of severed heads make for a pretty entertaining, tongue-in-cheek horror film from the great Larry Cohen...-- (eSplatter.com)
