While not as outlandish as bizarre Mexican horror gems like Night of the Bloody Apes or The Brainiac, the Nostradamus vampire films are gently amusing, invoking the aura of classic Universal Studios monster tales and careening from one goofy subplot to the next. Because it comes third in the series, the audience is dumped right into the middle of the story as Monster Demolisher begins, with the hunt for Nostradamus already in effect. From then on, the supporting characters change every 15 minutes or so depending on the whim of the action, making casual viewing a puzzling experience. For a weekly kids spook show, it isn't too bad, though German Robles isn't terribly frightening as a vampire (he looks more like a butler) and the budget is poverty-level. Each of the dubbed Nostradamus films were unleashed by veteran exploitation producer K. Gordon Murray, who distributed dozens of similar Mexican genre films in the United States. To really appreciate the full scope of this vampiric saga, one should view all four Nostradamus films in succession and absorb the story in one sitting, though doing so may end up being even more confusing than watching just one.
