Reviews

Robin Mahler from Nau.ch described the series as “dignified snacks for fans of the genre”. “The fact that not all short stories ignite is tolerable given the short duration. At least the first three episodes are recommended for those who can do something with light splatter and black humor. "

On the Cineman website, Peter Osteried did not describe every episode as successful. However, the series is forgiven for a certain idle time. He awarded three out of five stars and summed up: “It is in the nature of the format that the really big hit did not succeed. For every “ Twilight Zone ” and every “ Tales from the Crypt ” there is simply a multitude of anthology shows that do not present one hammer sequence after the other with such high frequency. “Bloody Trip” is a sympathetic series with flair and atmosphere - and perhaps more suitable for horror novices than old hands. The individual episodes are small horror snacks for in between. No more, no less. "
