Critical reception
While the film was largely overlooked by both the general public and professional critics, what few reviews were published were negative. John DeForte of The Hollywood Reporter called it an "amateurish vampire/musical mashup [that] begs for a wooden stake". Joe Williams of St. Louis Post-Dispatch also gave it a negative review, stating that it was "too squeaky clean" to even find support on "the midnight-movie circuit".
