Reviews
Janet Maslin wrote in the New York Times on November 15, 1985 that the film was more visual than joke.
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was a " parodistic joke on vampire films in the guise of commercial teenage comedies ". The “ sexist role models ” and the “ lewd dialogues ” would reduce its entertainment value.
Cinema magazine wrote that the film was " funny " for fans of Jim Carrey . For other people, the following applies: “ Switch off, please ”.
background
The film was shot in Los Angeles . Its production amounted to an estimated 3.2 million US dollars . The film grossed approximately $ 10 million in US cinemas.
From a German-speaking point of view, it is remarkable that two songs by German artists were used for the soundtrack :
- The Picture - (co-) composed and sung by Hubert Kah , English version of his 1984 song When the Moon Touches the Sun , produced by Michael Cretu and Armand Volker .
- Blue Night Shadow by Two of Us - (co-) composed by band member Ulrich Herter and produced by him together with Hubert Kah.
