This offbeat horror item works much better as a dreamy mood piece with striking poetic images and as a semicomic appreciation of a few quintessential low-budget actors than as straight-ahead storytelling.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Overview
In a contemporary New York City, members of a dysfunctional family of vampires are trying to come to terms with each other, in the wake of their father's death. Meanwhile, they are being hunted by Dr. Van Helsing and his hapless nephew. As in all good vampire movies, forces of love are pitted against forces of destruction.

Top critics, in their words
Rotten
A lovely idea for a film that's been beautifully executed but slips too far off its narrative tracks to get where it wants to go.
Variety Staff, Variety

It is refreshing to see so much style and life in the old undead tale, and to watch this strong cast with its perfect deadpan attitudes.
Caryn James, New York Times

Michael Almereyda's insanely brilliant fantasia on the Dracula legend.

What could have been a brilliant short becomes deadly, stretched to feature length.
