Reception

Entertainment Weekly called it a "two-part silly dilly of a horror film" that "wobbles as badly as the vampire’s rubbery pointed ears."[3] Variety said "Cliches pile up appallingly, familiar situations sneak in out of other would-be monster pics."[4] The New York Times bluntly called it "Not scary" and claimed it ineptly borrowed from other films.[5]
