Critical
The film has been universally panned by critics, with unanimously
negative reviews. The film currently holds a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes,
receiving not one positive review. It received an 8 out 100 on
website Metacritic, which assigns a normalized score to a film based
on reviews, which makes it fall into the category of "Overwhelming
dislike."
Tom Russo for the Boston Globe called it "Woefully dim-witted."
Steve Hyden for the AV Club called it "such a colossal comedic
misfire that it makes the execrable Scary Movie films look like
masterworks of Preston Sturges-esque genius by comparison." Frank
Scheck for The Hollywood Reporter called it a "Lame vampire spoof"
that "has no bite." Adam Markovitz for Entertainment Weekly called
it "a no-stars, no-plot, no-point vampire spoof about a group of
coeds studying abroad in a haunted castle, Transylmania boasts the
kind of acting and direction usually relegated to the adult section
of your local video store." Mike Hale of The New York Times said
that Transylmania is "destined to spend a short and painful life in
theaters and then join the ranks of the DVD and late-night-cable
undead." Robert Able of The Los Angeles Times said that "If your
idea of a good time is laughing with repulsion at a humpbacked
Romanian nympho with a torture-loving midget dad, or tittering every
time a bong appears, a darkened theater awaits you." Brian Orndorf
in his review said that "I surveyed the crowd at the screening I
attended, feeling the chill in the air as seven strangers sat in
stone-cold silence -- not a single laugh from anyone. The eighth
moviegoer? Fast asleep five minutes in. I've never envied a person
more."
Box office
The film opened extremely poorly, at #21 with only $263,941 from
1,007 theaters, making it the 3rd worst movie opening since 1982 for
