The film amiably runs through all the standbys associated with vampire movies, putting a personal and goofy spin on most of them.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

Nobody laughed.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
Messy vampire spoof-cum-homage to Hammer, which doesn't really come off on either count.
Tom Milne, Time Out
Rotten
He was evidently only trying to make fun of horror films, forgetting that horror films, played straight, are now more often funny -- unconsciously to -- than horrible.
