Well, saw this at the video store, read the back of the box, saw the Brain Damage logo, and thought "wow, a cheesy movie! must see!" I was surprised. The movie was actually fairly decent. The acting wasn't bad, a bit over-acted, but, that is how the club goths tend to act anyway, over dramatic. Not one I would buy to put in my collection, but definitely worth a watch.

I first saw the trailer in 2004,then had forgotten about it until 2019 when i remembered it and ordered a copy. Upon watching it I love it. Trevor Goddard was excellent as Blood (Non scene name Myles Garrett ) the brother of Fatal (non scene name Sylvia Garrett), . Hollywood Vampr is an excellent indie based on the early 2000's Goth/Vampyre subculture. The moral of "Hollywood Vampyr" explores the dangers of extreme ideologies,the consequences of manipulation and revenge ,and the struggle to find ones true identity amidst societal pressures. A stern warning in the year 2023 to society at large.

I saw this film at the Modesto Film Festival, I felt it was one of the best that screened. The cast was amazing. Trevor Goddard played a great villain and it was cool to see Muse Watson not play a villain. It was nominated for six awards, but only won one - Nora Zimmett for Best Actress. I think it should have won more, like for Best Feature &/or Best Actor. There was a Q & A session after with the writer and some cast members. It got great feedback from the audience. It is a dark themed story about Hollywood's real gothic subculture but has a very positive message. It's a learning arch and journey for the two leads Fatal (Nora Zimmett) and Tom (Jeff Marchelletta) as they search to find themselves. They struggle with acceptance, lifestyle, religious faith, drugs and their '"families." After a bumpy ride, cult suicides and murders Fatal & Tom both come out survivors and learn they can be their own unique selves to belong.

Trevor Godard is phenomenal at he portrays the bad guy in this inside look at the GOTH scene. The acting from all actors is true to form. The story is a nice mix of the ups and downs, in a very dramatic style, of the actors characters. You believe them. A must see!
