Sicilian Vampire

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 love Indi films for the simple reason that they are more raw and truthful without all that Hollywood glossiness. Sicilian Vampire has great a rawness and reality feel that immerses you right into the movie. The story is not overwhelming but it takes it to a level of reality unseen before in a vampire movie. The director creates scenarios where you get absorbed with the characters so that you're there every step of the way with them. The cast is unbelievable for an Indi film which already tells you something. Actors are looking to do something different every once in a while so they can flex their acting chops, and they certainly do that with this film. James Caan, Daryl Hannah, Paul Sorvino, Robert Loggia, Armand Assante, Robert Davi, Michael Paré, Eric Roberts, Daniel Baldwin, Frank D'Angelo…what a cast!

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!

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 just watched this movie in theatres and loved it. It was much better than I expected it to be. It's filled with tons of action from start to finish and each of the cast members played their roles really well. There were a few gruesome scenes, which is expected from a mobster and horror movie, but there were also some pretty hilarious one-liners and wise-guy cracks. It was just a great mix overall. Also, I love the fact that the film is Canadian made, filmed in Canada and written and directed by Canadian, Frank D'Angelo. So I'm more than happy to go out and support Canadian cinema! Overall, this movie isn't one to be missed.
