Reception

Helen Martin in New Zealand film, 1912-1996 says "An affectionate, bloodless, Disneyesque romp bearing the message 'your imagination is more powerful than any movie', Grampire invites children to make up their own versions of popular stories while offering the viewer a reason for the liberties it takes with vampire myth conventions." She later notes "The narrative is overloaded with explanatory dialogue , the plot lacks tension and the humour creaks."[4] The Press film reviewer wrote "the film is lots of fun, although it has destroyed my cherished image of vampires somewhat."[5] Richard Scheib of Moria gave it 1 star and said "Grampire is almost saved by the classy professional photography, a striking electric blue lighting scheme, which creates an atmosphere of perpetual midnight and helps enormously in disguising the B-budget."[6]
