What to Know

Critics Consensus

Therapy for a Vampire should get a few chuckles out of vampire movie fans in search of something new, even if it never quite lives up to its daffy potential.

Kristen Lopez Spectrum Culture Director David Rühm's German language vamp-com Therapy for a Vampire gives the vampire film a much needed transfusion. Rated: 3/5 Nov 20, 2017 Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Dracula meets Sigmund Freud in this Austrian horror farce, which benefits from a polished production but exhausts its premise about halfway through. Jul 21, 2016 Full Review Jim Brunzell III Minneapolis Star Tribune Ruhm incorporates classic Hammer Films and "Love at First Bite" in this entertaining vampire spoof by keeping the pacing brisk, the jokes quick and the blood gushing. Rated: 3/4 Jun 30, 2016 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema You may not laugh out loud, but you'll enjoy the time spent. Rated: 3/4 Jul 17, 2021 Full Review Martha K. Baker KDHX (St. Louis) Therapy for a Vampire makes fun of vampires, but you have to love them enough to laugh at them. Otherwise, you have to have elastic eyes that roll well. Aug 29, 2017 Full Review Peg Aloi Arts Fuse Therapy for a Vampire takes a primal urge and runs with it. There are unexpected moments of glee and grotesquerie, comic twists and turns.

Audience Member Ich bin geflogen This movie is one of my favorites. Laden with gorgeous texture, every scene looks like a painting, the costumes are EXQUISITE! Funny, sad, macabre all things I like. I don't understand german and usually think it as pretty harsh, but this is the first time I have found the language to sound beautiful. Ich bin geflogen~!
