Reviews:
“While it does try to do something clever and original with the vampire formula, the fact that there are just too many flaws here with the aggravating visual style and some pacing problems keeps this one down from what it could’ve been.” 0.5 out of 5, Don’s World of Horror and Exploitation
“The storyline of Tropical Vampire isn’t the most coherent and, for the best part of the film, I hadn’t much of a clue what was going on. Besides its highly sexualised content, there’s very little to keep the viewer interested and the dialogue, as subtitled in English, is no easier to fathom either. By the time the film climaxes, the story appears to be a very simple one but journey to get there seems daft and odd purely for the sake of it.” Horror Cult Films
