Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 07/16/2010
2.5/5
Starts off feeling clever and original but turns silly and diffused as its convoluted story spins out. Go to Full Review Michelle Orange Village Voice 06/15/2010
All of the riffs are twice and thrice removed, but the effect is lively rather than tiresome, largely on the strength of game performances, Sean Lennon's atmospheric score, and writer/director Jordan Galland's clear affection for his sources. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 06/04/2010
2.5/5
A toothless satire whose targets include vampire mania, low-rent theater, indie romantic comedies, Scorsese, Shakespeare and Law & Order, it plays like a Web series expanded to feature length. Go to Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row 08/05/2019
.5/4
A good idea in search of a good film that comes up completely empty handed. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 09/30/2010
A delightful mix of intelligence, hilarity, scares and unbridled talent... Go to Full Review Fangoria 08/24/2010
3/4
It sounds ridiculous, and indeed it is, but ultimately the film is so much fun that silliness of the plot is easily forgiven. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D 10/12/2023 The script is brain-dead. See more 02/01/2019 Honestly, it was a little weird & cheesy, but I oddly enough really enjoyed the film. The casting was interesting... plus I'm a sucker for Ralph Macchio on film. See more 01/18/2014 pls give it a rest making classic figures into vamps or zombies See more 05/03/2013 Very silly and not what I expected. I watched this when I was sick and it made me happy. See more @BlackCloud13 04/08/2013 Has its moments, but like a vampire's unslakeable thirst, it refuses to be satisy its consumer. See more 12/09/2012 Ha! Actually pretty clever. Silly stupid fun.
