This sequel continues the story from the the first film. The differences between Dracula and his daughter Mavis – regarding their outlook on “life” in general and on humans in particular – play out before the background of educating Mavis’s son Dennis. […]
Hotel Transylvania is an entertaining and well-made animated film. I am not sure what age bracket this film is intended for, but I ahd fun with it. […]
Having been forced to flee his Transylvanian home, Count Dracula travels to New York in search of the love of his life, who has been reborn as a supermodel.
A lot about this film feels dated, but it is not any worse than the vampire comedies you know from the 1980s. […]
A good-looking but largely forgettable ‘90s film with Eddie Murphy as the title character. The film has a comedic premise, but its main plot contains far less comedy than expected. With the comedic elements sidelined into sub-plots or side-character appearances, they sit awkwardly next to the horror-drama vibe of the main plot. […]
Based on the famous book franchise of the same name, The Little Vampire is a children’s film of middling quality. Although there are little to no major missteps in this film, it somehow fails to rise above mediocrity. And for a film in which so much is happening, it feels surprisingly unengaging. […]
Dark Shadows is an odd big-screen reimagining of a rather odd 1960s TV show. Barely a vampire film, it features a number of underused characters in a thin and highly predictable main plot, all wrapped up in great visuals and high production values. […]
This is the original short film from which the feature film What We Do in the Shadows has evolved. […]
Vampyres Anonymous is an at times crude VampireRomCom which never really rises above mediocrity. An interesting premise and some decent acting performances cannot really make up for the shortcomings (which are mostly minor, but numerous). …
Enjoyable but over-hyped mockumentary from New Zealand, that shines through its cast and through its love for detail. […]
Devoid of any kind of Gothic atmosphere, this rather boring mystery thriller sees Dracula flee his native lands and come to a small American town. The film offers a variety of contemporary special effects which do, however, not make up for the rather thin plot. […]
