    A very stylish pardoy of the hammer films, loving the tongue in cheek humour!!!!

    I like this movie a lot. Elvira is showing age in this movie physically, but you could never tell by how she acts. She acts as young as she ever was. She is so beautiful and funny. The movie it's self is pretty dumb, but not stupid. What I mean is, there is a plot and all, but if... read more it weren't for Elvira (or any other completely beautiful people) say if someone you don't care for was the main actor or actress, you wouldn't watch it. She is like the pinticle of woman power. If you are beautiful, act ditsy and get everything you can from others, but what others don't realize is that you know you have them twisted around your little finger, and there is brain behind the chaos. I love her! This is a hit or miss movie. It is funny, but not that funny if you don't want to use your brain to see the genius in it. Loosen up and have some fun, don't over think it. I know I just said use your brain but like I said, hit or miss, it's in between...

A sloppy slapstick throwback to long gone bottom-of-the-bill fare like The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. Full Review

More entertaining than much of the big-studio schlock out there.

Elvira fans could hardly ask for more. Full Review

Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly

While Peterson and her ageless alter ego keep an ironic detachment from the melodramatics, there's no irony in the end-title dedication to Price -- it obviously comes straight from the heart. Full Review

Mark Rahner, Seattle Times

The campy results make Mel Brooks' Borscht Belt schtick look sophisticated. Full Review

This horror-comedy doesn't go for the usual obvious laughs at the expense of cheap-looking monsters -- unless you count Elvira's hooters.

"Plague. Schmague. I have a show to do in Paris." If that makes you chuckle, Elvira is for you.
