Reception
Critical reception for The Life and Death of a Porno Gang was mixed to positive. DVD Talk recommended the movie overall, but warned that viewers that some of the imagery was "repulsive and horrifying" while also stating that it "never threatens to overwhelm the intelligence, artistry, or humanity at the film's core." Film School Rejects panned The Life and Death of a Porno Gang, commenting that the director "made a scatter-brained film that fails to string together any coherent narrative outside of getting the audience from one distressing image to the next. For a movie so high on its own substance, it is shockingly lacking in any substance whatsoever."

Release
A 107 minutes version of the film was released in January 2019, by TetroVideo.
