The film has some great effects (mixed with some bad green screening), it looks great, is highly enjoyable and should be classified with other alternative vampire flicks, like The Lost Boys (1987) and Near Dark (1987).

Rather than go for a tired vampire story, Nicolaou gives audiences an old school-feeling flick that carves out its own strange vampire niche in the horror genre.

It's definitely a Full Moon gem.

This gothic Transylvanian trip is such a solid vampire flick. A truly shining moment in the history of Full Moon Entertainment!

A great entry for the 80's horror cheese. Nothing special, nothing particularly bad. Veterans of the genre will again, understand this without even seeing it.

Subspecies is a delightful 90s gothic, campy, and romantic horror film

The Subspecies series is one of my favorite Full Moon Entertainment franchises. Who doesn't love a good vampire series (especially when the vampires don't sparkle. LOL)? Bran Castle in Romania is where they film Subspecies. (https://foreverfinalgirl.com/subspecies/)

"The vampires killed the Turks." American post-graduate students studying abroad in southeastern Europe fight for survival after getting mixed up in a battle between two vampire brothers one of whom is very Nosferatu-inspired. The nearby town is full of people who are proud of their connection to Vlad Dracul, proud of the vampire legend, yet many don't appreciate outsiders poking around. Decent dialogue with cool practical effects (I want a finger daemon!), and good-looking sets and locations (especially the beautiful fortress). Filmed in Romania soon after the fall of communism, the students travel around in a Trabant.

Terrible beyond belief, it was borderline torture to watch. Aside from the campy intro and half-assed decent setting, everything else was abysmal.
