Critics 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.

This film is badly plotted. If anything, it tries to tell too much tale. And though its special effects are good, the vampires are too easily dispatched, and the laborious finale is predictable.

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

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.

A largely forgettable experience that fails to live up to the Tales from the Crypt name.

It's pretty lame most of the way, but interspersed with authentically humorous references.

6/10

The bloodshed, though graphic, is thoroughly creative, utilizing fake appendages and prosthetics - and other mutilative yucks - for successful outrageousness.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I loved this movie! Dennis Miller's wisecracks are great and naked girls don't hurt either! It's Tales From The Crypt so when you go into this knowing it's going to be campy, then you're bound to have a good time. It's a fun movie with some easy laughs. It's a shame they don't make fun movies anymore.
