Pernicious Sunday received a mixed to negative reception upon its release, largely dismissed as a forgettable entry in the slasher and supernatural horror subgenres of the 1980s. While some critics acknowledged its atmospheric attempts, most found the plot convoluted and the scares uninspired, with performances often cited as a weak point.

• Often criticized for its nonsensical plot and lack of genuine scares.

• The film struggles to build suspense, relying on predictable horror tropes.

• Performances are generally unconvincing, further detracting from the narrative.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce, but those available often point to the film being a low-budget, derivative horror flick with little to offer contemporary viewers.

Despite its low profile, the film was directed by Arthur Allan Seidelman, who also directed the cult classic 'The Invisible Kid' (1980).
