Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 1, 2019. Some say that director Larry Cohen intended the vampire community to be a parody of old-blooded Republicans who so often rule in small-town America.~Phillip Erlewine. A classic horror. The only good thing is the dvd’s front cover picture with it’s dark blue and black picture and white lettering reminiscent of the original TV movie (which I very much enjoy and recommend)!
