Reception

Anton Bitel from the British magazine SciFiNow called the movie "very, very funny", stating that "the screenplay from Burgess, Cook, and Wiele finding just the right place between smart and dumb, and turning garbage into pure gold". Kat Hughes writing for "The Hollywood News" argued that the film starts well, but finishes badly, saying: "The Hoard starts well, but ultimately gets lost in silliness. If you’re a fan of a certain brand of comedy then you’ll have the time of your life, otherwise you may find the whole affair rather unsavoury." Jennie Kermode from the website "Eye for Film" didn't like the film at all, giving it 2.5 stars out of 5 and writing: "The Hoard is, in many ways, a victim of its own success. It captures the in-your-face style of hoarding programmes perfectly but it's 96 minutes long with no advert breaks, and watching it quickly becomes exhausting."
