Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers

I am beyond thrilled that I came across this whole browsing Amazon Prime trying to find something new to watch. This indie flick was a lot of fun. I love all the callbacks to 80's classics and I've always been a sucker for vampire movies... No pun intended ;-). I definitely recommend giving this one a watch.

Well, based from the movie's cover and the synopsis, I thought this movie to either be a fun one or one that totally would flop. So as I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers" it could go either way for me.

And I will say that "Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers" luckily turned out for the better, as this was a funny and enjoyable movie. Sure, while it is not up to par with movies such as "Shaun of the Dead" or "Lesbian Vampire Killers", it certainly is a watchable and funny movie. However, it should be said that this particular movie is somewhat of an acquired taste, so I doubt it will prove as widely embraceable as "Shaun of the Dead" or "Lesbian Vampire Killers". However, I did enjoy "Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers", no doubt about it.

The storyline, as written by writer and director Ryan Barton-Grimley, was a good one, and it proved to be a story that had a lot of interesting aspects to it. The movie was a good mixture of light horror with a heavy doze of comedy to it. And the wonderful characters, especially Hawk (played by Ryan Barton-Grimley) and Rev (played by Ari Schneider) were just wonderful characters and were portrayed nicely by the two actors.

"Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers" is not a movie that is relying heavily on special effects or CGI, so you should not sit down to watch this movie with the intention or hopes of being in for a CGI fest.

I found this movie to be a nice surprise and an entertaining movie, and if you have the chance to sit down to watch it, I would recommend that you do so. My rating of "Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Small cast big action. Throwback comedy and plenty of action to keep you entertained. If you like violence and old movie references then it for sure will be your cup of tea. Definitely for the man who loves all things horror...and for the woman that makes their man watch chick flicks. Lol. Acting was awesome And music was great as an accompaniment. Don't have a bad thing to say about it...lead actress was a plus as well.

This movie had me from the 80s retro title, and from there I just strapped in and enjoyed the ride. I'm really hard pressed to come up with anything bad to say about this. I gave it a 9 because, let's be honest, no film should truly be a 10, but out of films that might get lumped in with this one, maybe it would qualify. Fantastic humor written into the script and all delivered with ease. You forget you are watching a movie and really feel like you are just an observer to what, and how, these people would react. Dial it up, tune out, and just enjoy. You'll come out the other end feeling happier than you were going in.

This movie does to American Society what Norman Rockwell did nearly a 100 years ago. It paints a clear picture of America and who its inhabitants truly are. From the start of the movie till the last credit rolls you are looking at a snapshot of the culture and people of this fine country . The camera work is exquisite and never once will you see the crews reflected in any of the windows or mirrors in the shoot. The sound was truly inspiring and makes you wonder how did they do this without ever getting the microphone in any of the shots. The cast appears to all be method actors who truly believe they are the characters that they portray. My only problem with this truly cinematic masterpiece was that it ended to quickly. They could easily turn this into a multiple set of Movies like Lord of The Rings!
