Philbert Dy of Letterboxd gave Zombabe a 3 stars and wrote: The movie as a whole is still pretty clunky, with scenes that go on for far too long, and a resolution that is just another example of the film's apparent disdain for narrative and logical consistency. And yet, it lands on something sweet and unusual; arriving at a conclusion that feels kind of unique in our cinema.[8]
