Legend of the Holyrood Vampires, a 4-part Scottish radio-series, is a horror-comedy with more emphasis on satire and parody than on character or story. It is fairly amusing, but your mileage may vary depending on how well the style of the humour suits you. […]
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. […]
A largely forgettable, cheap Euro-production that deserves at least some points for location and atmosphere. […]
A bit of comedy, a bit of gore, and way too many characters and subplots.
These are the ingredients of the low-budget independent production Strange Things Happen at Sundown. There are amusing aspects to this film, and it is most definitely not the worst vampire film I have ever seen – but I can find no real reasons to recommend it. […]
The Monster Club is a 1981 anthology film whose frame narrative stars Vincent Price and John Carradine. Three stories are told over the course of this film, one of which is a vampire tale. […]
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. […]

Bloody Mallory is a colourful French horror-action comedy which is a bit short on the comedy and also a bit short on substance. Still, it is a decent film with a charismatic lead actress. […]
