Rotten
A wearying desert-bound mess of exposed flesh, horrendous editing, retrograde effects and a grade-Z story.
Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Startlingly amateurish.
Bruce Fretts, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
A fitting title, it seems that almost everything in this film is either forsaken or just plain neglected, including plot, characters and logic.
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
Uses its WB pretty boys as a lure -- but the only ones biting are the laughable bloodsuckers of the title.
Kristy Martin, Mr. Showbiz
