Reception

John Townsend of Starburst rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote that it is "One for the shark completists only."[2] Matt Donato of IGN gave the film a rating of 3 out of 10.[3] Jeffrey Anderson of Common Sense Media rated the film 1 star out of 5 and called it "abysmally bad".[4]

Ian Sedensky of Culture Crypt gave the film a score of 20 out of 100, writing that "meanders well past the point of fleshing out everyone with backstories and over the border into full-on “where’s the shark already?” boredom."[5] Matthew Monagle of the The Austin Chronicle rated the film 0.5 stars out of 5, calling it a "particularly rough watch".[6] Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "By the end, “Maneater” has walked right up to the edge of being a fun, silly, “so bad it’s good” time-killer. But after taking way too long, it never really arrives there."[7]

Matthew Mahler of MovieWeb wrote that the film "is never gripping or scary enough to ever distract from the silliness of its scenes, making it oddly more fun to put on with some friends for a laugh."[8] Peter Martin of ScreenAnarchy called the film a "fun flick that feels like the fading rays of summer in our North American summer."[9]
