Russell uses Dracula author Bram Stoker’s final novel as the basic springboard into a surreal, campy and dark-humored tale concerning a bizarre cult and a series of sacrificial murders in honor of an ancient pagan god. He also manages to pack in enough phallic imagery to make a Freudian's head swim.
