Critic Reviews

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    Even in these troubled times, the vampire has it worse than most of us.

  • Brian Holcomb, Kinetofilm

    It has the unique distinction of being the only motion picture ever based on a daytime soap opera.

  • Gerry Shamray, Sun Newspapers of Cleveland

    Genuine chills and surprises. Blows away the TV show.
