Reception

The movie has mixed reviews. Getting higher marks from those who are fans of Full Moon Pictures.

Jason at triskaidekafiles said, "Like a lot of Full Moon pictures, this movie is surprisingly good despite its cheese. It has a story, it knows how to tell it, and the plot holes aren't overwhelming. They do cheese right. But it IS cheesy. Three out of five digested toasters."[1]

Allmovie rated Sideshow 2 out of 5.[2]
