Night Fangs

I watch cheesy horror movies in the hopes of finder a diamond in the rough....a new twist or at least a decent take on an old one. Nightfangs isn't a diamond, but not a piece of coal either. It was obviously filmed on a shoestring budget, the acting is pretty wooden and the sound quality rates up there with your videotaped birthday parties and Christmas mornings.

Having whined about quality, let me say that some of the visuals were, considering the lack of cash, pretty good with some stylish gleams of promise. The vampire in the fireplace being particularly funny/creepy at the same time. The director was, I suspect, a fan of the old 70's "'Salem's Lot", with a few of the images seeming to come directly from it, the g/f in the rocker and vampire with the gleaming eyes in the bathroom being two obvious examples, but at least they were well used.

Regarding the previous comments regarding how vampires act.... There seems to be a number of opinions regarding how vampires "should" act. The vampires in this movie fall into the category or "mindless eating machines" with a small bit of wile to lure in the prey. Don't expect any deep and meaningful "Interview with a Vampire" dialogue here. But it doesn't really matter. It is all great fun, if blood smeared faces and a VanHelsing character that reminded me a lot of the OCD detective Monk is your idea of a good time.

Night Fangs really caught me by surprise because I am normally not a vampire movie fan. I purchased the film (at a discounted price)and felt that I really had nothing to lose... I gained an indie treasure! First off, sure it is a low budget horror feature, so of course some of the acting is going to be stiff, but I found the story to be original and the style of the film to be that of the classic 1970's gore flicks (which I love!)... Writer/Director Ricardo Islas makes it known from the beginning that he plans to throw as much blood, guts, boobs & butts at us as humanly possible. His own character, that of the "Professor" added a comical side note to the film that brought me back to Tony Shalhoub's "Antonio Scarpacci" character from the TV show "Wings"... Anyone who enjoys the above, will certainly enjoy this film. I look forward to seeing more from Islas.

I could get past the obvious low budget aspects of this film, but the story didn't hold my interest at all. I kept finding myself looking at the time wondering when it would be over.

I agree with those who said they should have delved more into the diaries of what's-her-face. There was way too much unexplained, and even for a vampire movie, there was too much suspension of belief required. One character turns into a vampire when there was no reason to understand why and another seemed not to when he should have.

Too many scenes were set up with no explanation and no discernible conclusion, leaving much of the film to be a sequence of disjointed vignettes.

I got the impression that this was the work of a film student who hired whoever he could dig up from other students attending whatever school he was studying at.

this would have to be the worst horror/vampire flick i have ever come across .. after the 1st 10 minute it was a complete waste of time.. i don't understand how anyone would even vote this as a movie ! the acting is awful so is the execution .. and one cannot even start commenting over the dialog ! i am not here to offend anyone but its not even worth the time or the money ... if u really dislike someone.. well here is a Halloween present for them ! a 100% non Hollywood movie seems like it was shot by a 1st year film school student on a college budget- the fact that it was stated that its a Elizabeth Bathory driven story? sounded Interesting but its just such a lie .. i was expecting history .. and more background with so much more - but i would say it again and again its the worst movie EVER !!

Wow, that Lupe (Cyn Dulay) is one badass lesbian. Do not get her angry. You have been warned.

Elizabeth Bathory, known also as Countess Dracula, plays a prominent part in this movie. You may be familiar with her from Hostel: Part II or Daughters of Darkness (Les Lèvres Rouges) or Apocalypse and the Beauty Queen. She will return in three films this year, and Julie Delpy will play her next year.

Lupe and Jennifer (Leslie Frank) find a virgin (Ruby Gonzalez) to use Bathory's "Blood Bath Ritual" in an effort to become vampires and live forever. It didn't work exactly as planned. Now, there are three lesbian vampires on the loose. Lupe has her hands full fending them off.

Lupe is good, but not enough, so the new lesbian vampires go on the prowl.

Lots of blood and a decapitation, but no lesbian action.
