Reception

Canuxploitation was generally positive in their review of Black Bridge, writing "Though a few false acting notes are hit, Black Bridge still manages to weave several naturally unfolding stories into a decisively emotional narrative, even working in some very funny flashes of dark humor. A worthy effort deserving of a goat-horn salute or two."[2] The Winnipeg Free Press was mixed in their review, stating "I can't really give Black Bridge a big thumbs-up, but I can throw it a few devil-horns for the crazed fervour with which it descends into high school headbanging culture, circa 1984."[3]
