Reception

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 40% based on 10 reviews, with an average rating of 4.89/10.[6] Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Still, even bad horror movies can have their pleasures, and here it’s Kilmer who gives The Super a kick."[7]

However, Maitland McDonagh of Film Journal International gave the film a positive review and wrote, "How surprising the story’s twist ending turns out to be depends on how thoroughly steeped in horror moves the viewer is, but it’s well executed down to small details like the creepy clown puzzle with which little Rose likes to play."[8] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter also gave it a positive review writing that "it offers a few decent scares as well as the opportunity for Val Kilmer to once again display his unique brand of screen charisma."[9]

gollark: Ah, it says a *few* thousand, but probably nothing to rely on anyway.
gollark: I heard that mentioned in the `string.split` (well, lack of it) page.
gollark: 2000 or so? Ought to be fine.
gollark: Wait, if it's >20 elements, is it likely to explode or just drop them?
gollark: In a few cases, which you may need to handle.
