Rollatini – ★☆☆☆☆
“The Dorm Daze trilogy has to be the worst trilogy I’ve seen to date. Never have I seen another franchise so consistently terrible like these films all are. I have little insight to say about this one other than that the vampire concept that could have been a fun change up failed in the same way all of the writing in these films does. There’s very little actually funny humor or characters worth caring about here. The execution of the vampire concept is boring. The performances are also bland and sometimes even bad. If there was ever a recommendation of mine to listen to, I beg of you to trust me when I say that these movies are not ever worth your time.” -

“When will my sense of humor return from the war?” -
HAL – ★☆☆☆☆
“I was once told this was from the same writers as the recent sonic movies years ago and I threw this on the watchlist as a gag but here I am finally watching it and ugh, I have only myself to blame. Occasionally there’s a funny joke or gag but there’s far too many characters and plot points to keep track of and the majority of it is just not funny. They couldn’t even do the Duck Soup mirror gag correctly.” -
Joe Wawrzyniak – ★★★½
“This blithely sophomoric collegiate vampire horror comedy romp certainly aims low with its gleefully rude’n’crude sense of unapologetic crassly pandering gross-out humor and generally succeeds with being quite amusing in a decidedly unsophisticated sort of way. If you find cheerfully disgusting no-brainer jokes about puking, horses farting, eating goat balls, smoking weed, and premature ejaculation to be laugh-out-loud uproariously funny (and I sure do), then boy is this the dumb-ass puerile movie to scratch that particular itch with. Directors Scott and David Hillenbrand maintain a brisk pace and a joyfully smutty tone throughout. Moreover, the game cast have a ball with the vulgar material, with especially lively contributions from Musetta Vander as a foxy’n’fiery vampire hunter, Irena Violette as a…” -
Rich Trash️ – ★★½
“For what Translymania has to offer, it lands in the teen comedy realm with the likes of American Pie and Road Trip. The vampire stuff does try but the juvenile humor wins every time. Some cool things happened but at the end of the day, it really wanted to be a comedy and had a vampire horror movie coat of paint.”
Meta Description:
A raunchy vampire horror-comedy about American college students studying abroad in Romania, caught in an absurd battle over an enchanted music box and resurrected evil.
