Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires

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.

While I found the story to be a bit slow, bland, predictable and dumb at times (not to forget the poor humor).. I couldn't help but admire the impressive production quality in it!! Which was enough for it to warrant a watch.

Be it the exquisite clay animation (with movements and details that surprised), model designs, great sound mixing and music choices, sets, lighting, choreography, visual effects, or even the camera work. You name it! I applaud the work of anyone involved.. except whoever was in charge of the script. That is not to say that it doesn't have its moments of brilliance, and a few scenes here and there.. but the layer of "comedy" just drags it down. I'm fine with it being dumb, but not boring.

At least I wasn't disappointed with Chuck Steel himself, whom I expected to be your average dumb, loud-mouthed and annoying lead. But he was actually pleasantly written as a decent character. A man of action, with enough brains to be likeable and useful.

Sadly, a better story and this would be worth recommending. Wouldn't mind seeing more in a different setting, with a better structure and less stupidity.

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.

Well what other way could it go, right? If the word "bonkers" can be applied to any movie at all, it is this one right here. It might be tough to follow the story, if as some might argue there is one to follow, because you are going to be constanctly distracted. This does not play in the realm of the real world ... I know "duh!", but it has to be said.

So there are a lot of things happening, including sexual acts, violent acts and just overall crazy things. If you cherish political correctness, need clear structure and/or are easily offended anyway - well do not watch this movie! Unless you hate yourself or feel you have to punish yourself I guess. Seriously though: this is really way out there, especially when it comes to its humor ... you've been warned, now enjoy

I guarantee you've never seen an animated movie quite like 'Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires', and probably never will - and I'm still deciding whether that's a good thing, or bad. Trampires is a cross between tramps and vampires. Just to be clear, it is tramps as in homeless people, and not hookers.

This animated movie is definitely not for kids. This is crude and rude with unsympathetic humour like you've never heard before - enough to make your ears twitch!! This is a parody in every sense of the word, and is an absolute madcap film!

The film revolves around our hero (or should that be more of an anti-hero?), Chuck Steel - a cop- trying to rid the world of vampires who feed on drunk homeless people - or bums. He is assisted by the weirdest bunch of heroes, including a horny old man.

Some scenes really are sick and vulgur, but one can't help but have a good time with this movie. Keep in mind, this definitely is not everyone's cup of tea, so think twice before showcasing this at a movie night with friends.

Would I watch it again? Uhm, I don't think so...
