Sicilian Vampire

This movie is an interesting take on the typical mobster movie. In the film, Santo Trafficante, is a mobster who in addition to being in the middle of an impending gang war, is bitten by a vampire bat and finds himself capable of superhuman abilities. Though this may seem like a bit of an odd blend of genres – mobster meets horror – it comes together quite seamlessly, and makes for a great movie to watch. There's a little bit of all everything – action, drama, horror, some comedy, all tied together with some great acting from James Caan, Daryl Hannah, Robert Loggia, Armand Assante, Robert Davi and more. Not too shabby for an indie movie filmed in small-town Ontario!

I saw the trailer for Sicilian Vampire and thought I'd give it a chance at the Vaughan theatre since it's close to my house. The story had enough meat for me to chew and I was totally hooked once the I saw the scene where the main character Sonny Traficante gets bitten. I couldn't wait to see how far he could take is vampire abilities! In terms of casting, I was super intrigued by the ensemble cast which made me reminiscent of some of the classics like The Godfather, Goodfella's and so on. All in all, it was a fun film, had thrilling moments that kept me entertained. I recommend watching it. This is definitely a classic so get some popcorn and enjoy it!

Some good cameos - James Cann in particular - other than that, I cannot see how the positive reviews of this film can stand. Truly dire film on all levels - (some of the) acting, script, plot, editing, music, etc. It felt like a 'favour' movie where most of the cast pitched up for an hour or two to do their bit then it was all stitched together in to something that lasted as long as a feature film.

I kept watching hoping for the gags to come because that's what this film needed to give it any saving grace - make it a comedy because that's all that would save it. (Made in 2015? I paused the film to double check this - it felt like early 80s on a shoestring+favours.)

I enjoyed this movie, but I'm also into the mob and old-time gangsters. It really is a must-see for anyone who is into mob movies or even a good story line with lots of action. What I really enjoyed though, was the cleaver jokes and witty-banter interspersed within the film, which offers a nice break from all the action and drama. In addition to the storyline and all the action, the all-star the cast really made the movie. James Caan, Daryl Hannah, Paul Sorvino, Robert Loggia, Armand Assante, Robert Davi, Daniel Baldwin, and of course, Frank D'Angelo all did a brilliant job all the way throughout. I didn't expect this to be one of those films that I didn't want to end, but it definitely was. Give it a shot – you'll enjoy it.

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.
