Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires

If you're reading the other enthusiastic, high-mark reviews on IMDB and thinking FAKE FAKE - you'd be wrong!

Whilst some of the non-PC humour is a bit hit and miss, the SXF and outstanding animation more than make up for it. It's so fluid, it's actually hard to believe it's all claymation. There are several laugh-out-loud moments, mostly involving the background characters and one or two things you won't see coming.

Lots of homage moments to Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon, lots of gunfights, and some nice one liners.

Worth a watch if you're not easily offended.

HARRYHAUSEN!!!

This film had it US premiere at the worlds top horror film festival Screamfest in Hollywood. I must say I did not know what to expect going into this film. It did look intriguing, but boy was I not prepared for the sure awesomeness of this film. It was an insane non-stop ride to horrorland claymation style. It was raw and very adept to today's current political climate even tho this film was conceived back in 2014 as it took many years to create the worlds and animate the characters depicted in the story. I don't want to give away much of what you will experience. However, rest assured it will blow your mind and open all of your senses to this cinematic experience. This is the work of a creative genius. There is just no other way to describe the experience of watching this film and at no time did it let up. Kudos to the terrific talent involved with this film. You took me back to the 80's with the style and music of the film and brought me right back to current issue perfectly performed by dolls. This is one film you will not soon forget. I could not wait to get home to write the review of this film and share with the world the awe inspiring film that blew everyone who saw this away tonight. I look forward to seeing this film again in a theatre where I hope it will be released widely because it certainly has mass appeal and it most definitely deserves to been consumed for all of its brilliance. This is nothing short of a cinematic achievement, with Best Oscar for animation among other accolades written all over it. I'm also very excited to be the second review here on the imdb page. If you hear about this movie playing in your neck of the woods, do yourself a favor and do not hesitate to seek it out.

This is a stop motion animated film, and a damn fluid one at that. The animation is beyond spectacular and never feels clunky. It also plays close attention to detail, like the constant flowing candlewax in the Wise One's face, and considering each trampire dies by a very gory explosion you can really feel the level of effort it went into making this.

Plotwise this is a pastiche of 80's action flicks, never taking itself too seriously and constantly poking fun at the tropes of the genre. Where I think the humor falls a bit is the anti-therapy message; take it as you will.

The monster designs are fantastic. You'd expect this film to just be populated by bum vampires, but there are quite a few surprises with stellar designs.

Overall a flawed product, but clearly a labour of love.

Chuck Steel, a no-nonsense maverick renegade cop, is pitted against a horde of vampire-like beings who feast upon the blood of those who are drunk.

Writer and director Mike Mort offers vibes reminiscent of Last Action Hero and Kung Fury in this stop-motion animated action comedy horror film. In addition to the aforementioned, the film parodies and pays homage to a slew of live-action films of the 1980s. The frame rate is so good that there are moments that'll trick you into thinking they could be people in masks. It's a work of art (geared for adults) with a technique that equals, if not surpasses, similar contemporaries. Although some of the voice work is a little bumpy, the majority is on point including the likes of comedians Jennifer Saunders and Paul Whitehouse.

It's on an epic scale with hundreds of characters and creatures, and dozens of scale-model sets. The craftsmanship of the production is clearly there for all to see. There are laughs to be had amidst the gore, explosions, and hails of bullets. It's wild, outlandish, and over-the-top, with mind-blowing animation that's blood-soaked and oozing fun throughout.

Fantastic work, as well as an enjoyable film. Highly recommend.
