I like Hammer Horror movies of the 1970s, so was interested to come across this film.
I am sad to report that I found Vampyres to be a tedious, plodding movie stuffed with unconvincing B grade actors, and suffering from lacklustre direction by José Ramón Larraz.
Even the copious nude scenes are dreary and uninspiring. Its saying something, when the Austin 1800 land crab is the most charismatic character on screen.
I assume it was made on the cheap, as it certainly feels like there was no budget or script.
People may be tempted to watch this as a period piece, but honestly, I cannot recommend it.

I have nothing new to add, but I thought I would dip my oar in the water.
I came to this movie at some distance from it's release date, and watched it on spec, not knowing anything about it, and therefore without any preconceptions.
This is a great film, and I don't know why I had not come across it earlier.
It has what I like in a Sci-Fi/Action film. High production values, astonishing special effects, good performances and a regular supply of surprising events to keep the pace moving along. And as a bonus, there is plenty of plot/story to hang it on.
It is unquestionably aimed at Tweens, so bear that in mind before you start viewing, for a bit of reference. However that should not prohibit others from seeing it.
Tomorrowland is a pleasant movie, which I will add to my list for repeat viewing.

I wanted to like this; but the protagonist is just so objectionable I didn't care, so I stopped watching. I bailed out halfway through episode 6.
Maybe its because I have never been a stoned slacker, or aspired to this lifestyle, I just didn't find any of it funny or interesting. Thats on me.
On the surface it has an appealing premise of hipster life at sunny Venice beach (although its not all filmed there).
There are high production values, and a glossy look with lots of women in beachwear. But this doesn't make up for the lack of substance. Its all just a bit blah! A feeling I frequently get with streaming service shows where lots of money has been thrown at project.
It's hard to see why any of the characters would have remained friends long enough for the series to even begin.
