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]

Adolescent boys might groove to the mix, but most other ticketbuyers will avoid this tawdry opus like the plague.

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

Triple the length of its cable television inspiration, Tales From the Crypt Presents Bordello of Blood is triple the gore, triple the naked women, but not, alas, triple the fun.

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.

This sickeningly puerile mess will be attractive only to teen boys who aren't too picky about special effects or scripts.
