      Audience Member Extremely campy, but oddly mean-spirited PG-rated vampire flick made less tolerable by the unfortunate lack of nudity and gore. Consistently silly dialogue is somewhat overcome by the actors' earnest delivery and WTF storyline. Viewing enjoyment will be considerably enhanced by sharing the experience with appreciators of early 70s, low-budget schlock art. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member People get on my case for giving seemingly favorable reviews to b movies. However, bad b movies are truly bad, and should be told as such. I’m not sure what the point was with this boring flicks, but there are literally hundreds of other options. It’s not the single most worst movie I’ve ever seen, but it’s bad. Rating: 1.5/5 24% Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/18 Full Review Audience Member Has a interesting concept, but low production cost, hokey dialogue and shoddy acting holds it back a some. Still, love William Smith in this role. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Mediocre film. The plot is somewhat decent but dumb. Nice climatic ending though fails at the end. So-so characters. There really isn't a good flow, but it has some potential. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favourite vampire "family" movies, the Twilight people should check this out. A woman, raped by a vampire, has the son of the vampire, and then the son is a vampire who wants to get revenge for his mother by killing his father! What drama! I love this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Delightfully twisted, tawdry, perverse and larger than life. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …while David Chase would probably rather forget this project, adopted from his own novel The Still Life, it’s a cut above most 1970’s horror fodder… Rated: 3/5 Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Ridiculous low-budget gory horror thriller about vampires.
