Out for blood - La paura dilaga

I landed on this movie by mistake actually, started watching because the remote wasn't near me and I had things on my lap that prevented me from getting up to change the channel. I'm glad I didn't ... here's why:

For die hard vampire fans or horror flick fans this may be too light weight for you, but since I'm not a follower of the genre that would be up to you. This film is a really good film in my opinion. I kept watching at first because I wanted to see Kevin Dillion -- who turns out to be really quite good. I think the movie is supposed to be scary, but it seems to be done tongue in cheek -- I found myself laughing at times which is good for me since I'm not real into being scared myself. So, I enjoyed this about the movie. The storyline had a few turns that were unexpected and definitely kept me watching.

So, I'd say it's a keeper. Whether for a comedy for a horror flick I'm not quite sure which to put it under. And the funny thing is I say that in a good way. It was quite enjoyable and I'd even say that I'd watch it again. I hope more people post opinions so I can come back and read what others had to say about the movie. Enjoy - I hope.

This new wave of Vampire tales embrace in a new concept of sexploitation as main flashy style to catch the new generation, now they appear on punk-rock clothing, more palatable nowadays, also including their real deformed faces as never seen in old ones, this new breed acquired weird behaviors like drugs and sexual desire, the blood stays on second plan, a police officer Hank Holten (Kevin Dillon) was in a painful divorce process with Susan Hasting (Vanessa Angel) when was warned by his chief Captain John Billings (Lance Henriksen) to starts an investigation over a missing girl Layla Simmons (Jody Lyn O'Keefe) on a rave party, Hank went there and finds this girl, invited by her spend a night with her and his friends at an empty building , there has a sex party involved many people, later came up the vampire leader that tried bite Hank saved by the rising sun, aftermath he shooting all around, however in next days when has to report all happenings to your Boss, nothing make sense, removed of the case by Captain Billings, he starts making his own investigation now with his former wife Susan, just an average tale, let it see by gorgeous girls around!!

I would like to know who I contact at Sci Fi to request a refund of the 2 hours of my life wasted on this movie. It was a hodge-podge of every known vampire movie cliché known to man...

Have to kill the master... darn its almost sundown.. Why don't they ever find him 5 minutes after 9 am?

I gotta look under the bed...ooops I'm dead.

The one good point in this movie (besides the end.. not the ending but the words THE END) was the Sammy Sosa impression done to the ex-wife's boyfriend. Classy

If anyone else hasn't seen this flick.. I envy you.

The movie was not bad. It wasn't great either. I enjoyed it, so it gets points for that. It was relatively predictable, the effects were kind of mediocre, but Lance Henrickson was good, the girls were cute, and it was about vampires, so hell, it couldn't be all bad. I think, had I paid 8.00 to see it in a theatre I would be a bit ragged off. But in that all I lost was a couple of hours on an early Saturday night... I am content. I would give it 6 fang marks out of 20 (remember there are two fang marks to each bite... smile) Watch it on Sci-Fi but I wouldn't spend more than a 4 dollar bargain bin price on the DVD if and when it comes out. As for me, I am going to pop open a pabst blue ribbon and watch House of 1000 Corpses again.

A cop investigating a series of disappearances links them too an abandon building where a cult of vampires are living in the basement. Naturally, his captain doesn't believe him, so it's up to him—and his ex-wife, a vampire novelist—to stop the bloodsuckers before they can kill more people. An average entry in the vampire sub-genre. Acting wasn't as bad as I feared (Lance Henrikson, a wonderful actor in this viewer's opinion, steals the show with his usual straight-faced delivery), the script has its moments (wisely writer/director Richard Brandes never takes the subject matter too seriously) and its even got a couple of fun (albeit hockey) gore scenes. The creature effects, from John Carl Buechler, were okay. I came in to "Vampires: Out For Blood" expecting the worst but it really wasn't that awful. An average horror film, die-hard vampire fans may enjoy it. 4/10.
