fresh:
Ferdy Mayne is the menacing Dracula, and Sharon Tate, lady in question, looks particularly nice in her bath.

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

Nobody laughed.

Messy vampire spoof-cum-homage to Hammer, which doesn't really come off on either count.

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.
