      What to Know

      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.

      Richard G The ending was ridiculous! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Jonna K One of My all Time favourite movies! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member As a Horror-comedy it is neither funny nor scary - which is pretty bad. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Nathalie C One of my favorite movie. Thank you Roman Polanski. Without it, the legend of vampires would not have been the same. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/22 Full Review Audience Member Although it's never as funny as it wants to be, The Fearless Vampire Killers still remains one of the most enjoyable spoof movies thanks to winning performances and surprisingly beautiful landscape that fills every frame. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun movie. There are a bunch of plot holes, but at the end it creates great comedy and, thanks to the beautiful directing, it brings to life an interesting and exiting story. One of the best vampire movies of all time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Variety Staff Variety Ferdy Mayne is the menacing Dracula, and Sharon Tate, lady in question, looks particularly nice in her bath. Oct 19, 2009 Full Review Kim Newman Empire Magazine Funny and scary, this is vintage Polanski. Rated: 4/5 Oct 19, 2009 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader The film amiably runs through all the standbys associated with vampire movies, putting a personal and goofy spin on most of them. Oct 19, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Tate had the rare ability to take a largely dimensionless part and mesmerize her audience with her charisma in front of the camera and life off-screen. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 17, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The comedy runs hot-and-cold, but the film is unique in its structure. Rated: 3/4 Nov 2, 2019 Full Review Peter Sobczynski eFilmCritic.com A pretty amusing and frequently entertaining hybrid of horror and humor that works thanks to the all-in performances from MacGowran, Mayne and Polanski, some inspired gags here and there, the striking visuals and, of course, Tate herself.
