A few hours of it, however, was sufficient to convince this viewer that this French opposite number to The Perils of Pauline is the ultimate in cinema camp. It is a lurid, slow-moving, grotesque stretch-out of fantastic adventures.

New York Times
The elaborate production, written and directed by Louis Feuillade, is an epic modern crime thriller, the precursor to many of today's multi-million dollar action films.

It made criminal anarchy and terror into entertainment, which Feuillade made into art.

Rating: 8/10 --
A cracking good story...in those wonderful moments where Musidora's kohl-marked face stares right out of the screen and into your soul, it's terribly perfect.

Antagony & Ecstasy
Without buildup or the slightest hint of backstory, it unleashed a succession of perturbing images and inescapable situations, which neither had nor required any justification beyond their own intensity.

The New York Review of Books
There's a hero (a resolute reporter), but all the interest goes to Irma and Co -- their heists, their feuds with a rival gang and with the agents of law and order, all conducted by means of slaughter... on a scale and insouciance appropriate to the time.

Time Out
Les Vampires, with thrill upon stunt upon criminal chicanery, is as modern as Rush Hour or The X Files.
