- Hilarious in Hindsight: Six years later, the concept of a vampiric bird-man would be pulled off far more successfully in a Czech film adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.
- Narm: Near the end of the dream, Hershel prays to God for help. He's still a turkey-man at this point, though, so his prayers literally come out as turkey gobbling.
- Nightmare Retardant: The idea of a vampire (or vampire wannabe) feeding on the blood of drug addicts could make for a genuinely good horror story, but the visibly low budget, said vampire's ridiculous appearance, and the awkwardly shoehorned-in religious message make it impossible to take any of it seriously.
- So Bad, It's Good: Quite possibly the world's only anti-drug mutant-monster horror film with a Christian message. And yes, it's as batshit crazy as it sounds.
- Special Effects Failure: Herschel's turkey head is clearly just a cheap papier-mâché mask.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: This
Cracked article suggests that the film's premise could have worked if Herschel were merely a hulking psychopath wearing a cheap bird mask in-universe, especially since actor Steve Hawkes' own face is pretty scary by itself.
