This is a truly impressive movie. Fantastic acting, lighting, camera work, music, everything about it is so well done and so well integrated. Almost every scene is a visual knockout. And the acting from all involved is outstanding. It's a slow burn for sure, but it's a true work of art and is well worth the investment of time and energy for those so inclined. It's not the kind of movie you can multitask during. Treat it like a work of art, it is and watch it fully, even if you have to break it into chunks.
I have to write more stuff apparently, so I guess I'll just say that if you're an action fan or rapid busy plot movies fan, and don't like "art" movies, then this probably isn't for you. 10/10.

This is a fantastic vampire-sexploitation B-movie. One of my all-time favourite movies, and I have many, most of them actual classics. But for me, this movie is in its own genre. Hilarious, hot, earnest, and with so many great-bad performances. A truly unique movie, vastly underrated by ignoramuses and snobs alike.
The innkeeper, Wanda/Mrs. Kronk (Nadia Henkowa), is particularly funny and over-the-top. Her delivery is something to behold. It's probably just my imagination, but I can't help wonder whether Cloris Leachman based her performance in Young Frankenstein on Henkowa's performance here. Leachman probably never even saw this movie, but still...
There are so many (unintentionally) hilarious scenes and dialogue. And hot, yet atypical, babes. And a lovably convoluted plot, low budget, great location... and who doesn't like candles? And bongos for a soundtrack! And shot in a real castle! How anyone can dislike this movie, never mind give it a terrible review and rating, is beyond me. Only the terminally serious could do such a thing. Seriously, get a life. Sprinkle some fertilizer on yourself and grow a sense of humor.

This is ridiculous. To call Wolfhard a musician is an insult to virtually all musicians. I had to stop watching after four minutes, because my ears could not stand the assault any further.
This may or may not be a decent movie, but it was too horrendous for me to continue with. To each his/her/its/their own.
Apparently, I need to add more characters to this review for it to be accepted. If I can bear to watch more, I may come back and revise this review. Producers: please find real musicians to cast in movies that allegedly feature music.
I guess an argument could be made that because the music/performing is so bad, it's realistic. But so what... if I wanted realism, I would watch a documentary.
