    just when you thought adam west couldn't get any lower...

    you know i love "B" films if you've read any of my posts, but THIS was a "T" film. "T" for tripe! i thought it might get better as it went along but it didn't. the cinematography (if you can call it that) was amature, the story line was minimal, and the acting -pardon the pun- SUCKED! big time! i mean it felt like it might even turn into a soft porn flick with the way the lack-of-acting and camera work was done, but not even...

    if you want a good "B" vamp film, rent razorblade smile. now that was fun. i only thank god that i work at blockbuster and didn't have to pay for a rental of this really hideous flick.

    not as bad a movie as some others seem to think

    Don't be too hard on this movie. I myself have also seen many, many movies, both foreign and otherwise, and this was Not a bad movie. When you have seen bad actors in a graveyard, trying to re-incarnate a "dead man" who is some extra wearing a badly fitting dirt-covered mask, then being chased by a flying "alien" baby, which is obviously a doll being suspended from a wire making badly recorded backward-tape sounds, ThEn you have seen a truly bad movie (I forget what the name of it was). The key to ThIs movie is to see it for what it could have been, and not for what it is. And, also, to ignore the camera booms which appear in almost every scene. That was the fault probably of an overly tired camera boom guy, and an obviously comatose editor. The director, however, was actually pretty good, the music for each scene fit perfectly, the acting was kinda good, and the special effects were pretty good. And sometimes they even poked fun at themselves. And as for Adam West, if you have seen his Other acting projects, you would know that this is actually some pretty good acting on his part, the best hands down he has ever done. (My way of saying that this director milked the best possible performance from this guy that he is actually capable of giving)...

    The girls all looked GrEaT, and acted really well. The makers of this movie were unfathomably jealous of their obviously PG rating, and went to bible-belt-esque pains to retain it; (there could have been more screen acreage devoted to traditionally hot vampire sex moments), but I find it hard to hold that against them too much, it made the movie capable of being watched by kids, and we certainly need more of those...

    Good Clean Fun!

    Well let see, It's not full of blood and guts, it's not really scary, it's not sexual by any means, hmmmmmmm seems to me that a movie of this nature would be a good thing for kids and for people that are just wanting to get away from the garbage out in the video market today.

    I believe that this movie is one of a kind. It has some cute parts to it, and, it has the venerable Adam West back in a Batman-esque kind of role. Being serious and over the top as he was in so many Batman shows of days forgotten.

    Johny, Trevor, and Carmen were funny and enjoyable, as well as Sidney and Debra . I think for children this would be a cute and enjoyable movie and something parents ought to look into.

    one good thing about it.

    The only thing that makes the a watchable dvd rent is the commentary track. I think the distributer of this horrible, horrible flick saw they had a real mess on their hands and got two members of the L.A. improv comedy troop "The Groundlings" to rifle on the movie while they watch. It pretty funny but it's the only way to watch the movie.

    Dont judge a book by its cover

    This is a great film. For many reasons this film deserves to be seen, first of all there is humor in it which for me makes it an easy film to watch. While there are lots of things happening that are not so funny like vampires taking over your home the funny remarks from the cast make it fun. Each charactor is great with a unique sence of humor and can easly be identified with. Then there is a deeper side to it. which afterwards made me really think. Granted i rented this with my boyfriend his wanting to get it because of the carmen cover which makes you think t&a made me not like it but afterwards it was worth the rental fee. This film is sort of like, weekend at bernies meets interview with the vampire. The funny easygoing film with the serious plot. So anywho mad props for the guys that did this and go rent it for yourself insted of believing what everyone else has to say.
