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. […]
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. […]
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. […]
British vampire flick The Reverend is a film that seems eager to amass missed opportunities. The acting is good, and there is not much wrong with the technical aspects of this film. But the writing is half-baked, and most of the supporting characters are more or less one-dimensional. You could easily envision a much better film hidden somewhere behind the script. […]
An impressive mixture of arthouse style and body horror, The Addiction lives off its visuals and off the magnificent performances by its cast. […]
A toxic mix of religion, patriarchalism, and casual racism provides the backdrop to The Unwanted, a mystery-thriller that plays with vampiric elements. While the film feels somewhat unsatisfying as a whole, it boasts an apt atmosphere, very good performances, and engaging character interactions. […]
This Chilean film – sold internationally as The Vineyard – mixes a telenovela style with a demonic story, and then throws it onto the big screen. And that is about as bad as it sounds. […]
A Roger Corman film so bland that it has less entertainment value than watching paint dry. […]
Perfect Creature is set in a noirish, semi-dystopian steam-punk world in which the balance between humans and vampires is threatened by a rogue element.
The films “external elements” (acting, sets, props, etc.) are all either good or great, but successes in world-building and atmosphere cannot wholly overcome the fact that the story falls a bit flat. […]
Cambodian film Nieng Arp takes traditional folk-lore and a known genre-premise and combines it into an overly long mess of a film that nobody should have to watch. […]
