Ronnie Scheib Variety 11/19/2012
R.H. Greene's docu succeeds admirably thanks to the charismatic oncamera presence of a 74-year-old Nurmi in an extended 1997 interview. Go to Full Review
Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 10/26/2012

Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/26/2019
A documentary made with truth and love, and one of my top three Must See Festival Films, Vampira And Me is a loving epitaph that will once again have Maila Nurmi and Vampira rising from the beyond. Go to Full Review
