In his review for Killers by Nature Bill Gibron of DVD Talk said that Spudic, "Appears to have a sense for the basics of moviemaking – i.e. focus, framing and editing," adding, "Though there is nothing stopping Eric Spudic from making it big in movies – "B" or otherwise – this preliminary attempt at motion picture production doesn't bode well for his artistic, or financial, future."[1]
