Gothic Vampires from Hell

I picked up this film b/c I am a fan of Christian Death, Switchblade, etc.

Now I am a fan of the film.

I was expecting to see a crappy little horror film but it ended up being pretty good.

Anastasia is hot and the acting is good.

There were some cool killing scenes (a lot of fake blood) and the editing was out of the 80's (actually suits the current trends now a days as fashion is back in the 80's now anyways).

Overall a good little film and if they make a sequel I there!

I saw some of the reviews and agree with some of them that this film is not for everybody. Also noticed that a couple reviews may have taken the film way to seriously but like most of the reviews I agree that it was a good film.

Most of these kinds of horror movies are not scary and I don't recall any Sterling film that is. More entertainment is what I believe it is and by far the best Sterling film that I seen.

The story line is the weakest part of the film although I was impressed what the leads brought to the film with what they had to work with (the lack there of). Anastasia was my favorite. It was a good idea but the writing could have been so much better.

There were some cheesy parts in the film like first person getting killed in the film and talking and talking and the credits but it is more black humor / comedy. I enjoyed it and if you are in kick back or silly mood check this one out!

There's a lot of goth. There's vampires. And it's hell.

If you like blurry video of chunky goth chicks dancing in a half empty club, you're in luck. There's a lot of that, too. Plus lots and lots and lots of video special effects that are supposed to...I'm not sure why they're there. Is it an homage to cable access shows? Possibly. It doesn't make sense any other way.

Ostensibly, it's about an up and coming goth band on the verge of success. An A&R chick shows up just in time for the battle of the goth bands of which there only seem to be two. And the A&R chick kills off one of them. Don't worry - i I won't post spoilers because I'm not sure I'll finish it.

Why are there CGI segments? I don't know. Do I want to watch a fat chick masturbate for a hot chick? Not really.

Does this review make any sense? Nope. Nor does the movie. But it's nice to see the hoses the gallons of fake blood come out of.

Goats.

Save yourself some time and watch something else.

The only reason I wanted to see this movie was because Gina DeVettori was in it.

I saw her in Nice Guys (aka High Hopes) in her role of Carly (funny!). So when I heard she was the lead I had to check it out.

I enjoyed her portrayal of Gothem Records owner Annastasia. She did a great job and to my surprise the rest of the acting was good.

It is a lower budget production (not a Hollywood blockbuster). The editor could have added a little scary music to it. But as a horror movie goes it was good.

I enjoyed it.

Got to love the title "Gothic Vampires From Hell" but keep in mind it is a low level B horror movie and is not going to be for everybody.

The positive: It has a great music / sound track including Switch Blade Symphony, Razed In Black, Leather Strip, New Skin, Christian Death, & more. The lead Annastasia (Gina DeVettori) did a great job in her role with a poorly written script. The vampires eyes and fangs were also cool.

The downside: The film has awful animation and could have been much better with out a lot of it. One of the biggest problems is the script having a poor plot and is almost just like a very long music / goth video. The blood is not realistic and is poured out in buckets. In some scenes you can actually see the tubes. The editing is also poorly done being outdated with 80's transitions. Lastly the budget.

With all this involved I was surprised the lead Annastasia did as good as a job as she did. For the other actors even if you cast others for the role it really would not help the film given the plot, animation and editing.

I did not find the movie to be a waste and found it amusing at times, which counts for something and worth watching.
