Leave your thoughts about The Fearless Vampire Killers.
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeA moon-drenched eastern European fairy tale perfectly rendered onto film. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovIt's almost dreamlike in its weird little tone, a Manischewitz hangover of a nightmare that's giddy enough to usher chuckles and is thoroughly unique. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkShot in the Italian Alps, the cinematography is striking. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanFunny and scary, this is vintage Polanski. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesInfectiously silly vampire farce that's a lot more elegant than it had to be. |
| F5 (Wichita, KS)Jake EukerMacabre, jet-black comedy with Polanski's unique sensibility in evidence in abundance. |
| Edinburgh U Film SocietyKeith H. BrownAn affectionate parody of the Hammer horror films we all know and love from late-night TV. |
| Time OutTom MilneMessy vampire spoof-cum-homage to Hammer, which doesn't really come off on either count. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumReally not as bad as the title; it IS Polanski |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThe film amiably runs through all the standbys associated with vampire movies, putting a personal and goofy spin on most of them. Sharon Tate also appears, at her most ravishing. |
