Eulogy for a Vampire has vampires, priests, animal evisceration, a phantom goat, and unrequited gay love. Neil Genzlinger at the Times says, "This one is aimed at those who find the mix of religious imagery, whippings, animal blood, amateurish cinematography and moronic dialogue to be arousing. It focuses on an all-male religious order whose members seem to spend no time in spiritual reflection but quite a lot of time groping one another...It’s hard to imagine anyone watching this attempt at a horror film without guffawing. (Or maybe it’s supposed to be a comedy?) Especially when, after about 50 minutes of unbridled scheming and debauchery, one senior monk explains the goings-on by saying, 'I’m starting to think there’s some kind of a flu going around.'"
