Kelli Marchman for HorrorFuel.com wrote, "All in all, Shortcut was a good flick that will keep you on your toes. It's got a good story, a fantastic filming location, plenty of action, and a lot of blood. I'm giving it a 4 out of 5."[8] Courtney Howard for Variety wrote, "If only someone had course-corrected the filmmakers on their own route to making this letdown of a horror road-movie, which gets off to a good start before losing its way."[9]
