Reviews

Critics have given Alien Vampire Busters mixed reviews, reflecting its polarizing tone and niche appeal. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 45%, with some reviewers praising its campy charm and Andy Dick's committed performance, while others criticize its inconsistent pacing and low-budget effects.

Conversely, a Variety critic noted that "the film struggles to balance its comedic and horror elements, resulting in a disjointed experience," ultimately giving it 2 out of 5 stars. IMDb users show slightly more favorable opinions, averaging a score of 5.8/10, appreciating its humor and unconventional approach. Metacritic does not feature a critical score due to the limited number of professional reviews, but audience feedback often highlights the film's cult potential despite technical shortcomings. Overall, Alien Vampire Busters is best suited for viewers who enjoy campy horror-comedies and are fans of Andy Dick’s unique style rather than mainstream horror aficionados seeking polished storytelling or high production values.
