Vampire Burt's Serenade

You won't believe what you're watching most of the time, and for that reason, it's completely worth your time. A bizarre combination of musical, camp, vampires and rock and roll, Vampire Burt's Serenade is absolutely incredible in every sense of the word. Kevin Richardson gives a truly mesmerizing performance and his dedication to his character is honestly, award worthy. If you're looking for a film to distract you from literally anything: This is it.

Like musical vampire movies? Then this fun, campy film is for you. Enjoy musical numbers and sexy pole dancers in this soon to be cult-classic.

Director-writer Ken Roht's "Vampire Burt's Serenade" channels the spirits of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," then heaps on delightful mounds of cheese and camp on a scale equal to Roger Corman films. This raunchy, bloody movie is culled from a live theater presentation -- an idea that acquits itself as near-genius by the time the credits roll, as "Vampire Burt's Serenade" proves to be aspirational, grass-roots filmmaking of the highest order.

Burt himself is handled by Kevin Scott Richardson, apparently a Backstreet Boy of note in a past or current life. Here he's unshackled from those conventions, and Really Rather Great as a power-wielding district manager of all area vampires. On one impulsive evening, he tears into the neck of pal Todd (Brandon Heitkamp), vampirizing the hell out of him. Todd then turns stripper girlfriend Connie (Diva Zappa) into a bloodsucker, and one who prove well up for it all. But their non-vamp friends are less enthralled, and deem it necessary to sort out Vampire Burt by way of a contracted vampire hunter (Kenneth Hughes).

Backed by a warhead payload of terrifically whimsical original songs, "Vampire Burt's Serenade" is an elevated diversion in a time when elevated diversions are mission critical. Recommended and then some. - (Was this review of use to you? If so, let me know by clicking "Helpful." Cheers!)

Nice try Kenneth Hughes. Kevin looks sexy as hell, I'll give him that but honestly where is all the BITE in this? Needs more if you ask me and your hard on fans who get their kicks from a bloody fang in neck fetish would agree. Not to mention, perhaps a bit of suspense thrown into the mix? Ahh, and the biggest thing we fans would want to sink our attention in, is well.....what could the future be for say a sexy fang filled movie with perhaps ALL the Backstreet Boys as hot ass vampires!? Wouldn't that be a big way to start a big new BANG in vampire genre and bring out some new music hits for the boys! Could be the top hit of a new Backstreet Boys album! Everyone loves a bit of fang action blood thirsty bad boys but put them in the mix of their sexy performance in music and dancing and I think we all would be in for a hot treat and a hand out of 5+ star ratings! Just make sure to include more biting action of course! 😎😉

If you love cheesy B horror comedy in the vein of Rocky Horror Picture Show, you'll get a kick out of this! I'm going to add it to my Halloween collection of films to see yearly!
