While the sets and cinematography are elegant and evocative, Morrissey brings his shambling, Warholian style to the script (which was written as the film was shot) and the acting (each actor has a different accent and most lines are read in a slow and drawling deadpan).
The sex and violence are tinged with ironic humor as Kier goes from one daughter to the next, desperately seeking the virgin blood he needs to save his life.
Some not-so-subtle social commentary is interwoven as the DiFiore parents care less for their daughters' future-well being than for the survival of their own wealth and palatial estate.

 Reviews: July 1998
Nina Auerbach argues in her opening essay that the "hygienically heterosexual" Count Dracula has bequeathed a legacy of impersonal imperialism to the vampires of the twentieth century.
In what seems to be a lament for Stoker's original Dracula, an "objectification of metaphysical evil "who threatened "the eternal souls of his victims," Zanger claims that the vampire's socialization and humanization in the twentieth century have diminished both the vampire and his victims.
Margaret Carter expands upon Zanger's portrait of the humanized vampire in her essay "The Vampire as Alien in Contemporary Fiction." In her assessment of various vampire novels--including a series of vampire novels for children--Carter concludes that the vampire outsider is both attractive and glorified in the twentieth century.
