Vampire Virus

I feel certain any positive review is by someone involved in or affiliated with the movie or someone in it. If it had closed captioning at least I would know what people were saying since the background music is BLARING over the dialog. Some parts you can hear the dialog, many you cannot. The head Vampire missed acting school and most of her lines cannot be heard because of the music.

I will start out by saying that at least writers Sam Ashurst, Jerome Reygner-Kalfon, Sebastien Semon and Charlie Steeds tried. They failed, but at least they tried.

I sat down to watch director Charlie Steeds's 2020 movie "Vampire Virus", as I do like horror movies, and vampires are iconic screen monsters, so of course there was some appeal to this movie.

Turns out that I might as well have skipped on "Vampire Virus", because the storyline was just so mundane and bordering on being pointless that it was somewhat of a struggle to sit through the entire movie. I did manage to do so, though I can't really claim that I was particularly entertained by what this movie delivered.

The acting in the movie was adequate, although you should not expect to be blown away by any overly impressive accomplishments. I didn't recognize a single actor or actress in the movie. It should be said, though, that their acting performances are severely hindered by a total lack of proper script and storyline, and the fact that the written characters in the movie were so boring and devoid of characteristics, didn't really do much to put the performers in a good light.

For a vampire movie, then "Vampire Virus" was just a swing and a miss. The movie came and went without as much as a bite or a hiss. If you haven't heard of this movie, don't worry, you're not missing out on a great moment in vampire cinema.

I am still trying to figure out how a movie like "Vampire Virus" with a total lack of a proper script and storyline even makes it through production.

And before I forget, I have to mention the vampire teeth on the vampires in the movie. Wow. Just wow. Are you kidding me? Those were seriously the worst prosthetics that I have ever seen in vampire movies. It was so bad that it looked even worse than the plastic teeth you can buy for kids in stores around Halloween time.

My rating of "Vampire Virus" is a mere two out of ten stars. You might want to skip on this movie entirely, because it is a waste of time, money and effort. If you enjoy vampire movies, there are many other and better choices of movies to pick from.

I've seen triple A movies that gave me a frustration migraine cuz they were so bad. (Armageddon with Bruce Willis, for example)

Vampire Virus is surprisingly entertaining - if one's able to see past the obvious low budget production. The acting has a rather mixed quality, and the sound could be better here and there. The flick still has charm, despite the flaws. I enjoyed watching it and that alone matters for me. The entertainment value.

That's all I can give this forgettable movie. If you find yourself at a loss and sod all else to do, or you need something on the TV while clipping your toenails, then this is the movie for you. Some acting was just ok, the rest took me back to the 70's. If there's any nudity in this thing, I missed it. Watchable, just.

Unfortunately the cover art sums up this title pretty well. Its a cheesy vampire flick that has serious Sci-Fy channel overtones. Very amateurish, poorly acted written and directed. It's not really fun movie either so has very little going for it.

I can think of no good reason that anyone should watch it since it has no real entertainment value for anyone who isn't a sadist. Just give it a wide birth, unless your a filmography student and you want to know what not to do when making a production.

3/10 is an honest score.
