Le dîner des vampires

This is a comedy that is not funny. It is designed to be some sort of sitcom, a mini series maybe. And it is hit and, in my case, miss. The old woman with a machine gun? It is so badly worked it is not even amusing. And that is one of the many scenes thrown in for fluff. They do not help the story. They are not funny. And they were far better on the editing room floor.

The acting is not bad. But it is not good either. And the uninspired mix of mafia, army and catholicism made me think how inspired I was to get my ebook reader with me.

We thoroughly enjoyed this film. Perfect viewing when you've had a busy day at the office and you need something easy to take your mind off things & just relax. We were really impressed with the actor who plays the unsuspecting male lead who is drawn into the vampires' lair. Other highlights were the ever-brilliant Dexter Fletcher and Annette Crosby (Mrs Meldrew!!) as an OAP-vampire- vigilante!! We took a punt and watched it with no preconceptions about what we were about to see, glass of wine in hand, ready to be entertained, which we were. So refreshing to see something that a) doesn't feature superheroes and b) doesn't involve an American male single-handedly saving the world. Again.

Terrible script. Awfully written dialogue & the actors do their best with what they've been given but it's obvious throughout that the cast had marvellous fun making the film & because it shows on screen, it's also still very enjoyable to watch, regardless. Not a classic & nor is it great, but it's a light-hearted, cheesy movie that doesn't take itself too seriously so I'd still recommend people see it, just for the few laughs it provides.

I dont get the negative reviews and low scores from some people. Maybe they just don't get the British sense of humour. I saw the cast list and just had to give this film a go. And I'm so glad I did. Anyway..great cast..funny script...superb first time directing from Jason Flemyng. I'm hoping for a sequel.

An enjoyable quick witted comedic dance with the macabre. For the first few minutes I wasn't quite sure where the plot was headed, but as I followed I found myself chuckling along. This is not a horror film although it certainly follows a vampiric theme. Enough blood splashed to accentuate but not enough to qualify as gore. Worth the watch.
