Overall, “Bordello of Blood” is a fun and campy horror film that successfully blends humor and gore. The film’s performances are a mixed bag, with Dennis Miller’s comedic chops providing most of the laughs, while Angie Everhart and Erika Eleniak deliver solid performances as the seductive and deadly vampire ladies. The film’s special effects are impressive for its time, and the makeup and prosthetics used to create the various vampire characters are particularly noteworthy.
