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. […]
Richard Elfman’s comedic take on the vampire genre has a certain stylistic flair to it, and boasts a fairly impressive cast. But it fails to find its tone, and a lot of the “funny” lines are subpar. […]
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. […]
Van Helsing: The London Assignment is an animated short film that can be seen as a prologue to the Van Helsing feature film, but it also works very well as its own story. The premise might be slightly silly, but there are definitely worse ways to spend half an hour than to watch this film. […]
Until last week I had never heard of Demons, even though this short-lived British TV-show was first broadcast in 2009. The show has been derided as a poor Buffy rip-off by some – but it has bigger problems than that. And yet, there are also interesting and entertaining aspects in this medium-quality show. […]
This adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel is probably not the most exciting one. And it has (for good reason) a TV-feel to it. But it is remarkable in its own way, as it has been claimed that it is the film that first introduced a love-motive for Dracula into Stoker’s story. […]
Transylvania Twist is a rather lame comedy, but in its harmlessness it is simultaneously also rather inoffensive. Some of the jokes land, but quite possibly not enough to justify watching what is – in the end – a rather poorly patched together project. […]
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 Disney Channel film that is rather generic and offers nothing new. The cast is good, as are the production values, but the (thin) story is lacking a certain edge as Disney are playing it extremely safe with this film. […]
Micheal Almereyda’s Nadja, produced by David Lynch, is a rather odd vampire film with a fair amount of hidden and deadpan humour. With its unusual humour and its experimental visual style, this black & white film will probably not be to everyone’s taste. […]
