Critics Consensus

Never aiming higher than threadbare jokes and offensive attempts at politically incorrect humor, Transylmania is a vampire comedy that truly sucks.

Drew Toal

Time Out

David and Scott Hillenbrand's stoner horror-comedy predictably provides more groans than laughs. The filmmakers had better pray someone in the theater is holding, if you know what we mean.

Rated: 2/5

Energetic but uninspired mix of teen comedy and supernatural silliness.

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Common Sense Media

It's 90 minutes of idiotic, annoying characters, some haphazard plotting and filmmaking, and little else.

Rated: 1/5

Daniel Barnes

Dare Daniel

A rancidly unfunny yet pointlessly complex comedy with Ed Gein-level humor, rampant misogyny and homophobia, and a cast of 34-year-old college kids.

Rated: 1/5

Transylmania is a film that has college humor, Vampires, drug use, strip teases, sword fights, sex, and at its core, love. The film has some redeeming value when it comes to the Radu true love story line. Radu was an ancient Vampire who fell in love with a Witch. Together they ruled their countryside while feasting on the villagers blood. When Stephania (true love) gets cursed by a Vampire slayer and looses her soul to him, Radu searches far and wide to get his true loves soul back. Centuries later a group of students visit Radu's castle for a school assignment and end up taking the course of their lives. This is a great film to enjoy during Valentine's Day as a "Love Sucks!" party, a cold night in film, or for date night. I HIGHLY recommend this film.

Sometimes I watch movies that make me wish I did drugs. This is one such picture. Apparently this was also a sequel to the Dorm Daze movies; that explains the horrible characters. The "story" isn't a bad situation comedy and the climax ended up being quite creative merging all the horrendous storylines together. But the characters aren't funny, the jokes are worse, and it never takes advantage of the concept. In better hands (and without the leftover characters) this might have been a successful film.
