Reception[edit][]
Patrick Naugle of DVD Verdict called it "almost the epitome of early '90s straight-to-VHS fare." Adam Tyner of DVD Talk rated it 2/5 stars and wrote, "Mindwarp starts off promisingly but quickly peters out, limping along in a miasma of standard issue sci-fi tropes until reaching a final reel that's littered with one unsatisfying twist after another." Mark R. Hasan of Rue Morgue wrote that it is "a genuine curio" for its cyberpunk themes and connection to Fangoria. Nigel Floyd of Time Out London wrote that the gore makes up for the writing.
