Reception
David Gelmini of Dread Central rated the film 4.5 stars out of 5 and called it "one of the best possessed object horror films to be released in recent years."[2]
Chuck Foster of Film Threat gave the film a score of 7/10 and called it "silly entertainment with some fun kills."[3]
Anton Bitel of SciFiNow wrote: "If the premise of The Drone is ludicrous, it knows it – and has great fun with showing the incredulous responses of its characters whenever anyone tries to describe precisely that premise."[4]
Film critic Kim Newman called the film "cheerfully ridiculous" and wrote that it "seesaws between being a film you laugh with to being a film you laugh at, but at least you’re laughing."[5]
