I was 16 when this film was released in 1988 and when it came out, I rushed to the Cinema believing that this was gonna be as good as THE LOST BOYS or as enjoyable as THE GOONIES. And Boy was I sorely Mistaken on Both Fronts.
For Starters,All the acting is appalling especially from the Monsters (I wonder how Dracula put on so much weight given he is only a Blood sucker).All the Kids in the film give typical "Icant believe I'm in this film" acting and Andre Gower is so Bad that its a Great thing that he has never acted since this Movie.And Oh yes, Jason hervey turns up as the School bully(Naturally)and has two embarrasing scenes in this Film.
The Film has a Few imaginative scenes, But is aimed at 5 year olds who will probably cheer for the Stars, But is Unlikely anyone else will. The Film might have worked,if the monsters were at least Scary, But they failed that Test with Flying Colors.
All in all,Unless you are a Preschooler...Avoid at all Costs
