Reception

The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reported an 83% approval rating based on 6 reviews.

Scott Collura of IGN gave the film a rating of 6.8, indicating "okay". He described it as, "...a pretty interesting (if blandly assembled) journey..." Scott Weinberg of Nerdist gave the film a 4/5 star rating and said, "... cover all the pertinent facts in relation to this infamous production, but it does so in a crisp, entertaining, and smoothly informative fashion. Eric Walkuski of JoBlo.com gave the film an 8/10 star rating and said: "Director Marty Langford keeps the doc moving along very well, with nary a bump in the road," and "Even grade-Z movies deserve to be loved, and DOOMED quite expertly shines a light on one such case."

Jim Tudor of Screen Anarchy said: "The information is dense and a bit dry at times, but for a movie of its ilk, is well done, even entertaining." David Craig of Starburst Magazine gave the film a 7/10 star rating: " is a very competent retelling of a strange series of events but one which might struggle to stand out from the crowd, and perhaps isn't destined to find an audience outside of the niche community of comic-book fans to whom Corman's feature has become well-known."
