Vampirella

Everyone know what Vampirella is supposed to look like. If you don't know a quick image search on Google will tell you. You'll find many examples in both fan-art and cosplay. It's blood red and comes down from the top on both sides to a very low cut bottom with a gold bat. But that's not what she looks like in this C-Movie. They have her in a cheap red PVC two-piece with suspenders that a dancer in a third-rate topless bar wouldn't be caught undead in, that looks like a bad Halloween knock-off of a Vampareilla costume. I guess they spent all the wardrobe budget and most the rest of the movie's budget on getting Daltry to do the movie, after telling him, "You'll be the star of the worst movie ever made!" didn't work. Bad writing, bad lighting, bad fighting, bad acting, bad directing, zero production values. I can't say enough bad things about this movie. Watch it for laughs.

i used to have a lot of the old vampirella magazines years ago so i was really looking forward to seeing this movie version of the worlds hottest vampire.oh my god was i ever let down after watching this real bad b movie.i wasn't expecting Alaska but i wasn't expecting this.and to add insult to injury roger daltry playing vlad.hahahaha what a joke.the only good thing about this movie is the sexy and lovely talisa soto.this lady is so hot that you will be able to watch this movie just because of her.i know her costume is cheesy and is different from the one in the comics.but come on guys if she came to your house wearing that costume would you complain.i didn't think so.one more thing the 4 rating is only because of her.

Vampires from outer space that are honourable citizens and no longer kill to feed themselves! Vlad (Roger Daltrey) - a renegade vampire, kills Vampirella's father and flees to Earth and joins nasty vamps as we better know them. Vampirella pursues him in seek of revenge. Sounds trashy? Yes it does! However, while this film will never rank amongst one of the great classics, it does provide 80 minutes worth of mindless viewing that is not entirely unsatisfying. Talisa Soto (Vampirella), apart from being a stunning beauty, carries this film quite well often with a semblance of some good acting skills. Roger Daltrey is Roger Daltrey. Some of the support acting is scarily awful at times but, as B Movies go, this is not the worst I have seen by far.

OK, to get this part out of the way, I don't read comic books, and had never heard of the title character. So, unlike some of the previous geek commentators, I have no disappointment about the adaptation of the material. Now, I find it fairly hard to rate some aspects of movies, (e.g. acting) when the actors are portraying cartoon characters. I would normally say that Roger Daltrey was exceedingly bad in this, playing it way over the top, etc. but is that really true when he's playing a comic book figure? I'm not sure. Richard Joseph Paul (three first names?) as Van Helsing was bad any way you look at it. Talisa Soto seemed pretty good given the limitations of the material. Corinna Harney was good in a small part. There could have been a bit more T&A. It's a Roger Corman production, for crying out loud! I'd say missing this one would be a good choice.

Vampirella for those not aware was a comic book that for its t&a levels became rather cult.

During the mid 90's there was an influx of superhero comic book adaptations and Vampirella was certainly an odd choice.

It tells the story of Ella (Vampirella) from the planet Drakulon (Or something to that effect) who is out to avenge her fathers death against the evil Vlad (Yeah really).

Soto is an awful actress, sided with The Who lead singer Roger Daltrey as the antagonist and a cameo appearance by the tall man himself Angus Scrimm. For those unfamiliar with Soto she played Kitana in the live action Mortal Kombat movies where she was equally dire.

Vampires in space, vampires with black cloaks with red inner lining, vampires that insist on hissing and showing their teeth and for the love of all 3000 gods they couldn't even get the iconic Vampirella outfit right.

Cringe inducing and I think 3 is being excessively flattering.

The Good:

Decent soundtrack

The Bad:

Cringe inducing fight scenes

Talisa Soto is a poor actress

The very definition of cheesy

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Some comic book characters should be left on the pages

Soto should have transitioned into modelling
