Reception
Bloody Disgusting gave President's Day four skulls and wrote that it was "a quantum leap forward for a fledgling filmmaker who has proven over the last 4-years that he’s more than capable making quality films for less."[3] The Baltimore City Paper also praised the movie, which they called "a fun, wickedly entertaining slasher romp".[4]
