critics consensus
This uneven but amiable 1967 vampire picture is part horror spoof, part central European epic, and 100 percent Roman Polanski, whose signature sensibility colors every frame. Read critic reviews

Mar 28, 2012First off Polanski is my favorite director yes three movies in my top 10 but this would not even come close to one of his great works. . I heard some critics say it's the perfect mix of comedy and horror, but really it's not either one if you want a vampire movie that has that perfect mix watch the original fright night. Now it wasn't completely dull yes I did laugh a lot at the beginning, but then It just went down. mainly because since you didn't care about the characters at all it was very hard to get into the story. This is definitely my least favorite Polanski film

Aug 30, 2011Here's Polanski's take on classic vampire films with grains of gags and snow. The problem with this movie is very simple: it's uneven in trying to be a comedy and a Hammer homage; the comedy doesn't work; the homage to classic vampire movies only works, essentially, because of the scenery. I don't know what Polanski's intentions were but something was lost during filming because the end result is an unsatisfying, dull, and superfluous ninety minutes.Jonny B Super Reviewer

Sep 05, 2010Polanski's vampire comedy is hilarious and cute. Polanski plays the sidekick in the movie, and he's a really good actor too. I really liked this movie, he has such a cool style and the story and characters are so funny. If you love vampire movies I highly recommend this one.

Jan 01, 2010I really don't understand why Roman Polanski ever decided to make a vampire movie in this fashion. You'd think that with all of his mastery in suspense, he would produce a truly terrifying film. However, the result is little more than cheap physical comedy and corny dialogue. I would say that I blame that more on the writing, but it's not excusable from such an amazing director. Truly my least favorite Polanski film.
