 DVD Verdict's Tom Becker stated, "While it's fun for a while, "X-Ray" runs out of steam long before the ending, in which the killer is unmasked, to the surprise of probably no one.An extended final chase also goes on way too long.While the oddness here can be a bit charming—including a bizarre bit that has three elderly women looking for a doctor in a closed-off part of the hospital—it's a few rungs down from must-see, even for fans of '80s slasher sleaze".
