Sicilian Vampire

I just went to the Theatre to watch this film with a bunch of friends over the past weekend! It was awesome! We all really enjoyed it. I am a huge supporter of Canadian Film - partly because Im an avid movie buff and because im a film major. What a delightfully scary, humorous film. I enjoyed the story and the slight variance of traditional Vampire themes meets new age additions that gave for a softer side to such a dark theme. Nice to see some older classic actors still doing their thing. The film was dark, humorous with a loving undetone. We laughed, we jumped and then we cried. All in all, my entire group of friends enjoyed this film.

I just watched this movie in theatres and loved it. It was much better than I expected it to be. It's filled with tons of action from start to finish and each of the cast members played their roles really well. There were a few gruesome scenes, which is expected from a mobster and horror movie, but there were also some pretty hilarious one-liners and wise-guy cracks. It was just a great mix overall. Also, I love the fact that the film is Canadian made, filmed in Canada and written and directed by Canadian, Frank D'Angelo. So I'm more than happy to go out and support Canadian cinema! Overall, this movie isn't one to be missed.

This movie has everything you could ask for and is the perfect blend of an action-packed emotional thrill ride and suspense-filled crime movie. There are just enough instances of pleasant surprises and feel-good moments even within the dark vampire undertone. I felt glued to my seat in the theatre throughout the entire movie and I didn't want it to end. The cast is filled classic actors such as James Caan, Robert Davi, Paul Sorvino, Daryl Hannah, Eric Roberts, and Daniel Baldwin who have been in similar types of movies which really added to the overall feel of the film. This is a Quentin Tarantino type film made by non other than a Canadian. Go see it, you will love it.

I love Indi films for the simple reason that they are more raw and truthful without all that Hollywood glossiness. Sicilian Vampire has great a rawness and reality feel that immerses you right into the movie. The story is not overwhelming but it takes it to a level of reality unseen before in a vampire movie. The director creates scenarios where you get absorbed with the characters so that you're there every step of the way with them. The cast is unbelievable for an Indi film which already tells you something. Actors are looking to do something different every once in a while so they can flex their acting chops, and they certainly do that with this film. James Caan, Daryl Hannah, Paul Sorvino, Robert Loggia, Armand Assante, Robert Davi, Michael Paré, Eric Roberts, Daniel Baldwin, Frank D'Angelo…what a cast!

I was waiting for this movie ever since the story broke that James Caan dropped out of a television series to take a part in it. I thought this has to be a great movie for an actor like James Caan to drop a series for it. Finally it came to the Vaughan Cinemas on a limited engagement. So we went the very first night. The theatre was a buzz with suspense and then it started and it literally sucked me and my friend it from the first scene. No pun intended. We were mesmerized with the big visuals and the big music. Every scene kept us on the edge of our seats as the story unfolded. The entire audience fell into the spell of this cinematic mastery as the director took us on a journey into the life of a mobster struggling with anxiety and anguish. This is a brilliant film, if I did not know better I would have thought that it was directed by Tarantino. I enjoyed it thoroughly, nice work Frank D'Angelo.
