V.A. Musetto New York Post May 28, 2008
2/4
Nonstop violence, gallons of spurting blood, outrageous humor (a kitchen scene is a hoot), extreme vomiting, a drill bra, human sushi and tempura, and other perversity. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times May 23, 2008
3.5/5
A riotous blend of arterial spray and grindhouse glee. Go to Full Review
Russell Edwards Variety Feb 21, 2008
Shameless gore, gallows humor and guilty pleasures are the byproducts of a mechanical plot and impressive helming. Go to Full Review
Noah Berlatsky Everything is Horrible (Substack) Sep 28, 2025
What’s most remarkable, and most exhilarating, about Machine Girl, is the extent to which it’s gratuitously gratuitous. It’s almost like the Naked Gun movies, but with decapitations replacing the stupid gags. Go to Full Review

It thrives on being nothing but another mediocre Asian entry that's cooler in description than it manages to be as a film... Go to Full Review

George P Aug 5, 2008 Chaingun arm, Chainsaw leg, who could ask for more? Awesome homage to 70's japanese splatter. So Incredibly cheesy that it becomes amazing. A good "revenge" storyline and some decently developed characters and some incredible action scenes. If you liked planet terror, you'll love this. See more
