Rish Outfield's reviews
Interesting locale. The villain, Radu, was pretty cool, though he spent all of his scenes drooling. It did spawn a half-dozen sequels, so maybe it was pretty good, huh?
To be honest, I don't remember much about this movie. The title creatures were interesting, as they were initially Radu's fingers, then came to life (ala Claymation!) and appeared in a brief scene or two. I imagine the stop-motion beasties were expensive, hence they were used so sparingly. This was one of the earliest titles we rented by Full Moon Entertainment (it was one of their first ones too), and served as a template for what was to come: a low-budget, but well-made horror picture with nudity and a decidedly foreign flavour to it. Check out Puppet Master for more of the same. It wasn't terribly satisfying, but wasn't a bad horror movie either.
Best Scare: I don't recall.
I'd Recommend It To: Those intent on seeing the whole series, I guess.

The tyranist's thoughts
Quite possibly the only vampire movie ever filmed in Transylvania, the setting and atmosphere of this film are fantastic. The story lacks quite a bit. I can't get over how beautiful the countryside was and how creepy the castles. It isn't the greatest vampire story, but it is kind of cool just because of the locale.
