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. […]
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 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. […]
Featuring vampiric car-wrecks and super-powered teenagers-turned-autobots, Van-Pires is a very poorly executed kids’ show based on a silly premise. Premise and writing might not be worse than those of other morning-slot kids’ shows, but Van-Pires combines that with awful CGI and a barrage of horrendous puns. […]
The first season of this Buffy spin-off creates its own, darker tone and is rather successful in its noir-ish world-building. But the actors are still trying to fit their characters into the new character constellation, and so there is some adjustment going on – which leaves room for improvement in the acting. […]
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. […]
Frost is a film that has its strengths and its weaknesses; and possibly more of the latter than the former. It meanders around for quite some time, with the final half hour (the actual horror part of the film) feeling much more interesting and atmospheric than the rest. […]
Blade: The Series is a TV show conceived as a continuation of the three Wesley Snipes Blade films, but it does not star Wesley Snipes. The show’s concept is very promising, but it is bogged down by writing issues. Severe competition and high production costs meant that it was not continued after the first season. […]
Another of the later Hammer films, Vampire Circus combines the vampire subgenre with the subgenre of the creepy circus. While I am not a big Hammer fan, some of the creepy circus aspects in this film work very well. […]
This ultra-low-budget comedy from Germany is not a good film – and it is not funny. Things that worked reasonably well in the short film Fang, on which Michael is based, completely stop working in this feature-length film. You are not missing anything if you are not watching this. […]
