Initially conceived as a soft-core porno, Kelljan eventually crafted this into a sort of Bram Stoker parody, although not everyone involved in the production seemed to be aware of this.

A creaky but charming entry into the genre.

Quarry's commanding performance and some offbeat touches make this a worthy fang flick.

Rated: 3/4

Yorga may not be a very refined film, but it packs a lot of attitude ...

Offers some fresh blood into the dried-up genre.

Yorga's Southern California styles and setting are now Brady Bunch retro-chic, while its self-conscious exploitation of the era's newly liberated 'free love' attitudes has in 30 years slid from being cool to quaint.

Mostly lame horror film. The title vampire has menace, but dumb supporting characters, cheap looking production values, and awkwardly staged action, make this an underwhelming mess.

The movie was poorly written, the actors were TV actors, from shows like Star Trek ect.. Count Yorga was unappealing and very least intriguing. It really was a snoozefest.

I thought this movie was fun for the most part. Had a good strong beginning, became really slow and talky in the middle, but picked up in the end, with a few jumps thrown in for good measure. All the actors are fine.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Absolutely the scariest movie I saw as a kid, it seemed so real, it had a contemporary setting, when most V movies went for the classic era. So gritty it's almost punk.
