Average Rating:3.3/10

Consensus: Bordello of Blood is not as scary or funny as it thinks it is (or should've been), and all of Dennis Miller's lines sound like castoffs from his stand-up material.

Runtime: 87 mins

Genre: Horror/Suspense

Synopsis: The cackling Cryptkeeper returns to share this tale of a deranged televangelist who brings a sexy vampire back to life to lure sinners to their deaths in a subterranean bordello. Their pact runs... The cackling Cryptkeeper returns to share this tale of a deranged televangelist who brings a sexy vampire back to life to lure sinners to their deaths in a subterranean bordello. Their pact runs into trouble when a scruffy private eye arrives on the scene--armed with Holy Water-filled Super Soakers. Based on the comic books by William M. Gaines. [More]

For a horror-comedy film to work, it's got to be both funny and scary. Tales From the Crypt Presents Bordello of Blood is neither.

Bordello of Blood isn't much of a movie, though it suggests a new career for Miller, if he wants it: He could be a freelance ironist in other movie genres.

This very guilty pleasure never produces much suspense, but I couldn't stop laughing at Dennis Miller's sardonic asides.

What it lacks in irony and suspense, Gilbert Adler's Tales From the Crypt Presents Bordello of Blood makes up for in whimsy and cheeky self-assurance.

Vampires aren't the only things in Bordello of Blood that can't stand up to daylight. Neither can the plot.

... a macabre, jokey affair that could give Buffy the Vampire Slayer a run for its money as the silliest undead story of the decade.
