Way of the Vampire is a cheap and short vampire flick from The Asylum. It has a simple premise and a very simple story, so there is nothing captivating or interesting about it. The actors try their best (each in their own way), but with nonsensical plot elements, lacklustre fight scenes, and rather poor audio quality this film cannot be saved by the cast. […]
Heirs of the Night [season 1] (2019)
Heirs of the Night is a new-ish TV show primarily aimed at young teenagers, based on a series of novels by Ulrike Schweikert. This pan-European production has impressive production values and looks amazing. With a decent plot and a well-chosen cast, this is a show that I enjoyed quite a lot. […]
The X-Files, ep. 2×07: “3” (1994)
Having never been an X-Files fan myself it is difficult for me to judge this episode accurately. It has an interesting premise, but 40-odd minutes seem to be insufficient room for the characters and character relationships involved. […]
Dornröschen – Der Tod ist erst der Anfang (2004)
This film is a horror-“comedy” by notorious amateur filmmaker Jochen Taubert. It falls very decidedly into the “avoid-at-all-cost” category. And the fact that it is hard to find and is not available in English should make avoiding it fairly easy. […]
Among the Shadows (2019)
Among the Shadows is an unbelievably boring werewolf/vampire film in which ill-explained political intrigue takes centre-stage and marginalises all else. The cast consists of a bunch of unknown European actors. And Lindsay Lohan, for some reason. […]
Angel [season 2] (2000-2001)
Season 2 of Angel feels a bit disjointed, but the characters (and the cast’s performances) feel more settled. Even though the season’s story-arcs do not necessarily work well, there are at least a number of really good episodes as well as enjoyable performances by guest actors. […]
Midnight Mass (2003)
Midnight Mass is a zombie-apocalypse-style vampire film that somehow ended up as a Christian propaganda film. And if that sounds like an entertaining train wreck, I have to add the disclaimer that there is nothing entertaining about it. […]
Invasion from Planet Vampire (2000)
This 40-minute radio play is a SciFi spoof that was produced as a live broadcast for RTE. It is entertaining, but it has no substantial plot as it is focused on the satire itself. […]
Sangre Eterna (2002)
Sangre Eterna is a very interesting Chilean film about young people who have been emotionally abandoned and who drift aimlessly through a sub-culture night-life that not all of them may be able to handle. With the story mixing reality, fantasy, and paranoia, you are soon unable to tell what is real and what is not. […]
The Wickeds (2005)
The Wickeds is a very cheap and very generic trapped-teens film. The vampire aspects in this zombie film are negligible, and even though it runs for only 78 minutes (without credits), there is not enough plot to fill that time. […]
