I hadn't even heard about the 2011 movie "Dick Night" from writer and director Andy Viner prior to sitting down here in 2020 to watch it. The movie's title definitely is an attention catcher, that's for sure. I had to read the synopsis for the movie, though, before sitting down to watch the movie. And I must say that I found the synopsis to be interesting. It seemed like this could be a good movie.
And now that I've sat through the movie, I must say that the movie wasn't as good as I had dared to hope it to be. Sure, it was watchable, but it was hardly an memorable movie experience. Nor were it actually a movie that offered a whole lot in the entertainment department.
The storyline was straight forward, but it was suffering from being too weak and thin. The story was lacking some more proper and more thought-through contents.
And I was definitely lured in by the promise of vampires in a horror comedy. But they don't show up before the last quarter of the movie, and then it was far too late. And it didn't help much that this was such a disappointing vampire creature feature.
The acting in the movie, however, was good. Just a shame that the actors and actresses were struggling with a thin and rather mundane plot and storyline.
My rating of "Dick Night" is a four out of ten stars. I managed to sit through the movie, but I was not overly entertained. And this is by no means a movie that I will be watching a second time.
