This is a real winner of a horror film. Starting off slowly the suspense builds in an ever-increasing crescendo of terror until the final sequence, which is definitely not for the faint-of-heart. The film held the audience on the edge of their seats throughout, and it even translates well to video and DVD. Considering the budget, and the experience level of the filmmakers, this might very well be the best horror film ever made.

This is a claustrophobic little film, independently made with a small budget, yet it delivers the goods. Think "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" combined with "Vampirella". An average run-of-the-mill Midwestern serial killer meets up with a lovely vampire. She then runs off and leaves him to the tender mercies of another lovely vampire who teaches him how to feed his own hunger for blood. The serial killer then struggles with his conscience and his sanity--all leading to a somewhat twisted ending. Not a great film, but well worth watching.

This film falls into the category of being bad enough to be good. Pledges at a sorority house are plagued by a former sister who happens to be a vampire. Luckily, each of the new pledges is skilled at kickboxing so they are able to defend themselves. The acting is horrendous, the kickboxing scenes are totally laughable, and the vampiric special effects are at about the speed of the fake teeth they used to sell in the back of comic books. However, the girls are all incredibly gorgeous, so the T&A value is quite high, and if you are in the right frame of mind the film will have you rolling on the floor laughing. Elvira should get a hold of this one.
