Ambrogio: The First Vampire

I recently watched a new vampire film called Ambrogio : The First Vampire, and it was SO different than what I expected it to be. We've all seen a vampire movie before, and they all tend to be fairly similar to one another. You go into the film with an expectation.

Well, Ambrogio : The First Vampire completely blew that away. Far different than the average blood sucker flick, this movie is completely original, beyond pleasantly original!

It's a really exciting movie made completely independently, the whole cast and crew are all indie gems.

The movie features a really rich story filled with vibrant characters, incredible locations, ace cinematography; it's exciting and you can visibly tell while watching this how much effort and time and hard work the cast and crew put into making the film.

For me personally, when I watch a movie like this I feel so rewarded by the end, just being able to watch independent artists making art, and Ambrogio : The First Vampire definitely makes you feel that way while watching!

I had such fun watching this movie, and I'd love for you to take a BITE out of Ambrogio : The First Vampire!

Get it? Bite? Cuz vampires, they..bite. It's funny!

Okay, I'm sorry. I wanted to end it with a laugh. I tried. Watch the movie, it's a refreshing new take on the vampire genre with a lot of heart made by some really strong artists. I hope you see it and enjoy it as much as I did.

Probably one of the best Vampire films I've seen since Bram Stoker's Dracula, starring Gary Oldman. Greatly recommend this to all lovers of the genre, and if you're not into it, this film may bring you closer to changing your mind.

I don't easily recommend films, as my tastes differ greatly from most everyone out there but I do recommend this one. Heck, if you rent/buy the stream or venture into Walmart and buy the dvd, I wouldn't be opposed to hanging out and watching it again with you. Given the distance, of course.

I hope that tells you how strongly I feel about this incredible film.

Congratulations to the cast and crew.

Alex being a great actor as Ambrogio his accent melds with the time he is portraying. Niko'a had a very clever way of playing dracula which balanced out Alex's character with a nice BLOODY rivalry for the lovly Sarah played by Angelina. There were some good laughs in it that makes the movie even more enjoyable. Great take on the legends and good mix...praying for a 2nd one.

For the settings involved very well chosen. Unlike any other movie i watch Alex's team bring a fresh balance for the sounds vs talking. They take a great feel on a professional film while making it seem like a low budget film. Very well done you guys!

Overall, I enjoyed the movie. I did not know the story of the "original" vampire, so kudos for writing a good story! There were some memorable dialogue and lines. I must admit, I turned on closed captions to appreciate the dialogue. The character Sarah was interesting and well acted. While Hades and Dracula were important to the story, I never fully got the evil vibe from them. Special effects were good. I wasn't able to feel connected to the character Ambrogio. His troubled soul yearned to be free, but it took a long time for him to find his peace. Nice touch to include some Italian and Greek dialogue in the movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed Ambrogio: The First Vampire. The film was beautifully crafted, with a unique take on the vampire genre and a compelling storyline. The characters were all well-developed, and the cast did a fantastic job bringing them to life, each adding depth and emotion to their roles. Alex gave a standout performance playing Ambrogio, bringing both intensity and complexity to the character. It's hard to find a film where all actors bring 110% to their roles and I can easily say every actor in this film did just that. Ambrogio is a fresh and impressive addition to the genre. Highly recommend giving it a watch!
