Featured reviews
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.
Some good cameos - James Cann in particular - other than that, I cannot see how the positive reviews of this film can stand. Truly dire film on all levels - (some of the) acting, script, plot, editing, music, etc. It felt like a 'favour' movie where most of the cast pitched up for an hour or two to do their bit then it was all stitched together in to something that lasted as long as a feature film.
I kept watching hoping for the gags to come because that's what this film needed to give it any saving grace - make it a comedy because that's all that would save it. (Made in 2015? I paused the film to double check this - it felt like early 80s on a shoestring+favours.)

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.

what a cast!
What can I say, this flick was pretty awesome. It had all the ingredients for a great vampire themed movie. Me and my lady enjoyed it very much! It was pretty great to have caught this film in the theatre as it just needed to be played on the big screen! I liked the vast group of Actors that come from all various types of films! And all characters were just so convincing and genuine! My girlfriend loved the music and the loving relationships between family members. I think Canadian films are highly profitable, well done and well written and this was clearly one of those. Im a huge supporter of independent film and proud to support such a terrific film. Well done
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.
