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." Variety said "Cliches pile up appallingly, familiar situations sneak in out of other would-be monster pics." The New York Times bluntly called it "Not scary" and claimed it ineptly borrowed from other films.
