On one level, then, it shares the Thelma and Louise genre: two women journeying together through a hostile world with threatening male figures. However, it has layers of meaning that prompt multiple readings. Reality has a down-trodden Dante-esque quality: given the high level of remembered violence (could so much mutilation, exploitation, theft, rape, incest and murder exist in one household in the English underclasses?), Alison's 'childhood' seems a dystopia conjured from the darkest archetypes of the imagination. One of the frissons of the book is that it takes philosophy down to street level at its murkiest and most visceral.

In a contemporary review, Variety referred to the film as a "routine tale" that was a poorly written horror film that did not hide its Italian origins with "silly English dialog" and "poor dubbing" being its giveaways. From retrospective reviews, Kim Newman (Monthly Film Bulletin) stated that the films combination of "splattery violence", "James Bond spy thriller", and "monster-filled s-f" was "at times uneasy, but Cozzi carries it off with sufficient bravura to paper over the cracks" and that "If the film relies on familiar images...it at least has a class, very loud score by Dario Argento's usual collaborators, The Goblins, to punch up the frissons." Mike Long (DVD Talk) stated that Contamination "makes good use of the ideas that it's stolen, at heart it is simply another boring Euro-horror film." In a 2010 interview with Fangoria, Cozzi revealed that the film was made as a ripoff of Alien, going so far as to say, "Without the existence of Alien, we could not have made this movie at all" and that the original title for the film had been Contamination: The Alien Arrives on Earth.
