Author and film critic Leonard Maltin gave the film 2/4 stars, stating that Reid's and Robson's performances brought the movie to an average level.[3] TV Guide awarded the film 1/4 stars, stating that "The potentially interesting premise is undone by an extremely chatty script."[4] On his website Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings, Dave Sindelar called the film "dull" and criticized the film's flaccid direction, endlessly talky sequences, lack of suspense, over focus on Reid and Robson's characters, and the design of the title monster.[5] Charles Tatum from eFilmCritic gave the film 2/5 stars, offering similar criticism towards the film's overly long dull stretches, and lack of effectiveness during the attack sequences. Tatum did however commend Reid and Robson's performances.[6] Andrew Smith from Popcorn Pictures awarded the film a score of 3/10, writing, "The Beast in the Cellar has an interesting approach to its subject matter with {{sic|it’s}} characterisation of the two leads and {{sic|it’s}} attempts to humanise them as much as it can. However this is horror after all and what we have is a pretty feeble but traditional British horror flick where you don’t see the monster until the very end and when you do, you realise you’ve been had for the last hour and a half."[7] References1. ^BBFC: The Beast in the Cellar 2. ^{{cite web |title=The Beast in the Cellar (1970) - James Kelly |url=https://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-beast-in-the-cellar-v4462/releases |website=Allmovie.com |publisher=AllMovie |accessdate=15 July 2018}} 3. ^{{cite book|author=Leonard Maltin|title=Leonard Maltin's 2014 Movie Guide|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sfw2AgAAQBAJ|date=3 September 2013|publisher=Penguin Publishing Group|isbn=978-1-101-60955-2|page=98}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=The Beast In The Cellar - Movie Reviews and Movie Ratings |url=https://www.tvguide.com/movies/the-beast-in-the-cellar/review/102536/ |website=TV Guide.com |publisher=TV Guide |accessdate=15 July 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web |last1=Sidnelar |first1=Dave |title=The Beast in the Cellar (1970) |url=https://fantasticmoviemusings.com/2018/07/11/the-beast-in-the-cellar-1970/ |website=Fantastic Movie Musings.com |publisher=Dave Sindelar |accessdate=15 July 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web |last1=Tatum |first1=Charles |title=Movie Review - Beast in the Cellar, The - eFilmCritic |url=http://www.efilmcritic.com/review.php?movie=7277 |website=eFilmCritic.com |publisher=Charles Tatum |accessdate=15 July 2018}} 7. ^{{cite web |last1=Smith |first1=Andrew |title=Beast in the Cellar, The (1970) |url=http://www.popcornpictures.co.uk/the-beast-in-the-cellar-1970/ |website=Popcorn Pictures.co.uk |publisher=Andrew Smith |accessdate=15 July 2018}} External links
