3.0 out of 5 stars
Every film need NOT be oscar-worthy to be fun, July 25, 2006
This film was not intended to be academy-award nominated,so one wonders why those who have reviewed it seem to think it ought to contain high drama or intricate plotting...It is a small scale dracula film,made on a low budget..it has some scares ...the special effects are cornball by today's standards,but that it exactly the point...THIS FILM WAS NOT MADE YESTERDAY,OR BY A MAJOR STUDIO..I would think all of the grousing about this film would make sense if,say,steven speilberg directed,or if Robert DeNiero was the star..
A mom and pop pair of vampires live in a castle ..they employ a few creepy servents who waylay travelers and keep them captive in order to feed the pair's blood habit..a monster type also is involved,probably an offspring of the vampire duo...and,lastly,an escaped criminal with homicidal tendencies shows up and gets a warm welcome from mr and mrs bloodsucker,who see in him a kindred spirit..a pair of travelers figure as both victims and main charecters and are the device through which the whole nocturnal world is brought down...Is this "Ghandi",or"The Maltese Falcon"?OF COURSE NOT !But it is fun,if one is not expecting greatness.

This is good, November 23, 2004
it's wierd, it's freaky, you need this movie. I love old Universal horror, also Hammer, also newer things like "Bones" and "Valentine". We don't need no plot. This is crazy stuff, it's fun, Dracula, The Wolf Man and Frankenstein-what else could you want?

1.0 out of 5 stars
i saw this late night as a kid and it looked good(of course i was 8), May 8, 2006
the problem with home video of any kind is that sometimes a fondly remembered movie is there to see again. that's what's wrong here,i'm older than 8, and this is the worst movie i can remember in some time.
there is no story as such,just two old folks sitting around drinking blood,waiting for johnny,who may or may not be a werewolf(told you this is bad),and as they wait they take young girls and chain them up so they can get their blood fix when they want.theres some nonsence about a photographer and model visting the castle(in the middle of nowhere,by close to the ocean)because they ,well i can't remember why(really thats how messed up the screenplay is).
not even so bad it's good,just so bad it's bad and dull. FORGET IT AND SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!
