Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

There are one or two enjoyable moments in this cheerfully ridiculous erotic horror from director and co-writer Iain Ross-McNamee; sadly it doesn't quite work.

Rated: 2/5

Flickering Myth

Despite its best efforts Crucible of the Vampire just doesn't have enough weight behind it to achieve what it really wants to.

Rated: 2/5

The Arts Desk

Style, scares and audacious ideas are all finally much too thin on the ground to elevate this film beyond its budget.

Rated: 2/5

Movies in Focus

Iain Ross-McNamee tries to take British horror back to the late 1960s and early 1970s with Crucible of The Vampire, a solid low budget fright pic that has enough atmosphere, quirky performances and mystery to keep you hooked.

Rated: 3/5

Rob Aldam

Backseat Mafia

Mixing 17th century history with the present, Ross-McNamee conjures up a tale which is both creepy and intelligently crafted.

As it is, it's a fine stab at bringing back a style of movie that is sorely missed by many.

Rated: 8/10

The Belfast Viking M

After watching it am still trying to figure out things like. Why she takes days to dig out the already nearly dug out half. Why she not complain about her phone. Only 3 people in house phone goes missing ?. She scared she's seen the ghost so she leaves the house to phone to say she's leaving but didn't take her stuff so she had to go back ?. Just a very funny looking vampire.parts just didn't make sense
