Ziemba from Bleeding Skull! gave the film a positive review, writing, "Unkempt and gloomy, yet somehow radiant, the mind-bending Headless Eyes is a touchpoint for every element that makes nonconformist 70s trash-horror cinema so enduring today. As soon as “The End” rolls around, you’ll want to watch it again."[4] On his website Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings, Dave Sindelar gave the film a negative review, calling it "pointless, pretentious, annoying, and no fun at all".[5] Film scholars Bill Landis and Michelle Clifford write in Sleazoid Express (2002): "With murder scenes choreographed like slow-moving sex assaults, The Headless Eyes is true to the psychosexual underpinnings of blood horror... Ultimately, [it] earns its place in the exploitation pantheon because it's as isolated, weird, and discordant as its main character."{{sfn|Landis|Clifford|2002|p=124}} References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/28196537/the_daily_messenger/|work=The Daily Messenger|location=Canandaigua, New York|p=13|date=October 26, 1971|via=Newspapers.com|title=The Ghastly Ones/The Headless Eyes advert}} {{open access}} 2. ^{{cite web |title=The Headless Eyes (1971) - Kent Bateman |url=https://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-headless-eyes-v21810/releases |work=AllMovie |accessdate=27 July 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|work=Blu-ray.com|url=https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Headless-Eyes-Blu-ray/169122/|title=The Headless Eyes Blu-ray|archive-url=https://archive.is/T0cGu|archive-date=February 9, 2019}} 4. ^{{cite web |last1=Ziemba |first1=Joseph |title=Headless Eyes (1971) |url=http://bleedingskull.com/headless-eyes-1971/ |website=Bleeding Skull.com |publisher=Joseph A.
