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.

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!

As a huge fan of B movie type films, vampires, 80s feeling films and comedy horror, Hawk and Rev:Vampire Slayers had everything I was looking for in a movie. I am not too sure how the ratings are so low as my teen and I had a great time watching it together. I think it is a must for any fans of vamps and horror comedies who just want a break from it all and a good laugh and adventure :)

Everyone in the cast for this movie is at least 20 years older than they need to be for this style of comedy to land.

The humor is a sort of ridiculous slap stick that requires the characters to be mentally disabled. It is impossible to accept these characters as existing except as escapees from a group living facility.

There isn't a single normal realistic character on the entire movie. It feels is like a skit that goes on for 10 times longer than is tolerable. If they had used child actors then I cold see this being quite clever.

At one point they talk about a hospital that is just for kids with cancer and claim this isn't believable. Since such a place does exist, it's becomes clear that the script is not in on the joke. The writing is simply the best possible from a cast of very ignorant people and it's difficult to find the humor.

I didn't have any expectations going into this one. It was fun. Definitely plays more to the comedy side and was a little light on vampire scenes, but what was there was well done. Overall, I enjoyed it.
