Requiem for a Vampire

Oh my God! I was in my local video store and seen just about everything and I heard the clerks talking about this really weird vampire movie they just got in. They said it was the weirdest vampire flick they ever saw. What the heck, I bought it for $6.00, what did I have to lose. Well, let me tell you, it was very good and creative. I rent tons of low budget stuff and never saw the quality in any of them that this movie has. The camera work is good and the music is fantastic. The acting is OK with some fine performances by the lead, Mat Locker, the main vampire and Bob Smith who plays a health dept. inspector. Tony Rugnetta who plays a doctor and Cathy Loch who plays somewhat of a vixen sings a beautiful song with women dancing under a moon lit sky in the background. I found that there are some other films made by these guys, John Orrichio and Karl Petry which available from the same distributor or on their film site. I plan on getting them all. It's nice to see a gem in all those low budgets movies being produced. These filmmakers will one day make it big because they have the talent. I highly recommend this movie if you like movies in the vein of The Wicker Man (Old version not the new one)or if you like to read Ann Rice and Stephen King. Bravo Guys!! Keep making movies.

The film was very well done. It was an intriguing storyline that contained good acting, excellent cinematography and terrific music which certainly enhanced the film.

I would highly recommend this movie to not only fans of the horror genre, however to anyone who enjoys quality films will definitely like this unique well made movie. One can readily see the production value in this movie is extremely high with all of the various sets and locations utilized in the making of this film. This movie will keep you interested and riveted from beginning to end.

In terms of vampire movies this particular film brought something different and unusual to the table regarding the premise of the story that depicted the main characters in a specific way which worked incredibly well. These vampires desired to be like ordinary mortals and blend into society while being provided with blood in order to sustain their existence through a bloodbank directed by an unscrupulous doctor who is on their payroll but has also become a good friend to the vampires as well.

A really good friend of mine had this film and we watched it. I am really not into independent films, but I thought this film was really good. I was very impressed by the film's quality and acting performances. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Requiem for a Vampire. It's a shame that they don't make mainstream films like this. The performance I liked particularly was the performance of reporter Phyllis Cooney. Her character was interesting. I wish I could have seen her death on screen as opposed to just hearing about it. I hope more people get a chance to see this film. The storyline, the actual film's quality and the acting are really good. If you get a chance to check it out, it is well worth the time.

A movie you have to see to believe. Very hard to predict, it will keep you on the edge of your seat and you may stay up all night. Whether you like horror movies or not this movie will keep you captivated. Don't let the cliché title fool you, this is not your typical ghoulish flick. A style ever remotely reminiscent of Anne Rice the author here plays games with your mind from the first act on. One could only hope they make it to the large screen or at least HD. THe soundtrack itself is worth the price of the DVD. It is the perfect combination of Rock n Roll and the Vampire world of the dead. When was the last time you cried at a Vampire movies? At $15 it is a must buy.

Although an independent film, the cinematography is very good. It's not your typical Vampire movie. It's more in the keeping of the Ann Rice novels. It takes place in modern times and in all places, New Jersey! You get to take a look inside a Vampire family and see what they must do to survive in these days of forensic science. Director John Orrichio and Producer Karl Petry do a wonderful job on a very low budget. The ending has a twist that you would never anticipate. The music is excellent and deserves its own release on CD. All in all, if you're tired with all the same junk coming out of the major studios, give this a look. You'll enjoy!
