The Last Vampire on Earth

Watch Redlettermedia's review and then watch the movie in all it's glory.

Still a better love story then twilight 10/10 ign. Also has no magical lighting fairy vampires in the sun dust, so I guess that also makes this film better.Plus the lead actor is Shrek and Shrek is love, shrek is life. I would advice anyone who is blind to watch this with the sound turned off for maximum pleasure.

RELEASED IN 2010 and directed by Vitaliy Versace, "The Last Vampire on Earth" chronicles events in northeast Ohio when a nice religious girl (McKenzie Grimmet) meets a mysterious-but-nice guy (Michael Bole) at college and falls in love. Problems arise when she and her family discover that he's a 2000 year-old vampire (!). Even worse, she's diagnosed with a fatal disease.

This is an extremely low-budget flick with wooden non-acting, stilted dialogue, bad lighting, questionable sound, basic camera angles and so forth. On top of this, the writer confuses traditional protestant doctrine & practices with that of the Jehovah's False Witnesses. For instance, there are references to "going to church" and the "pastor" when, in fact, JWs don't use this terminology. Their meeting facilities are called "Kingdom Halls" (which, to be fair, is referenced once in the movie) and their leaders are referred to as elders. The "Kingdom Hall" building depicted in the movie is a traditional church facility. Obvious flaws like this reflect bad (or non-existent) research.

The second thing you need to understand is that this is not a horror story. It's a youth drama or love story involving a winsome girl and a good vampire. If you can overlook the low-level of production and adapt to the movie's limitations, the story's generally engaging with a couple of boring parts.

The director was born in Russia and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. This was only his second movie, but he kept at his chosen craft and has gone on to bigger and better things in filmmaking. I love to see people make-do with what they got to create and improve as they persevere in faith. Do not despise humble beginnings.

THE FILM RUNS 90 minutes and was shot in Youngstown & Boardman, Ohio. WRITER: Mandie L Abraham wrote the screenplay based on her self-published novel.

GRADE: D

This is the best movie i have ever seen in my entire life. The cinematography was amazing and the deep symbolism was too deep to grasp by most people. I love how the main Character constantly had the expression of a minotaur, I think it really tied the movie up and just made it amazing. I love the bond that the two characters build during the movie and i find it to be really relate-able and i would even dare to compare this movie with other pieces of film gold such as 2:13, The Puppet Master, Twilight, and Bloody Marry. I loved this movie and i would even dare to say that is is my new all time favorite movie of all time, I strongly recommend that you watch it and i think you will love it.

This film is hands down one of the best adaptations of a novel for the big screen ever made, right there with The Lord of the Rings and Fifty shades of Grey. Versace proves to be one of the greatest cinematographers of our generation with his unique visual style, camera movements, framing and photography. The lead actors are extremely charismatic and fun to see. The script does a good job in creating good dialogues and set pieces and being faithful to the source material. This is a must see film.
