Summary: Beware - this film does not feature Adam Garcia
Review: For some reason this film comes up when you do a search on the Australian actor Adam Garcia. Please don't buy this film thinking he is in it because he isn't.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Completely awful -- not even fun to laugh at.
Review: Granted, I did NOT expect this movie to be any good but as a self proclaimed cheesy horror movie expert I certainly expected it to be (unintentionally) funny. However, other than Adam West's involvement, this movie was completely unremarkable (Adam West was his usual self but I figured there would be a few self refferential jokes like the ones from Drop Dead Gorgeous... there wasn't a single one, even the quite obvious Vampire Bat - Batman connection).

Of little note is Carmen Electra's "starring" role in this. Despite what the cover box may have you believe, she has maybe 5-10 lines and flubs NONE of them so it's not really worth watching for her either.

Needless to say I'm very pleased that I didn't buy this.

Summary: Worst...Movie...Ever
Review: I purchased this after seeing several positive reviews for a film called American Vampire and after having a friend recommend it. I had been told that it was a great vampire movie.

Either I was lied to, or there are two movies named "American Vampire" (I checked IMDB...there aren't). Oddly I can't find any of the reviews now, and the friend claims not to remember any such recommendation.

Anyway, this is a terrible movie..plot makes no sense, acting is terrible, even the Adam West cheese factor can't save it. It's barely even a vampire movie...

Save you money for something good.

Summary: Please never watch this movie...here's why
Review: I rented this movie once, Judging from the cover it seemed pretty cool. My two reasons for this were thusly: 1-Carmen Electra was in it, and she was all gothed up, 2-I like vampire movies. Well I watched it and was very disapointed. Carmen Electra is hardly even in the movie at all, and it didn't even really have a plot. Okay, theoretically it had a plot, but wasn't intresting in the least bit. As for the special effects, well, sometimes lousy special effects aren't a bad thing, it depnds on how you use them. But in this case, they failed, miserably. I swear, a ten year old wrote this movie. Please don't watch this movie, even it comes on HBO or something dont waste your time.

Summary: A movie to be seen with a crowd of people
Review: Now, I know what you're thinking. "5 stars?! This man is mad!" Well, that is true, but my 5 star review has a qualifier to it. This is one of the worst vampire movies I have ever seen. Nighttime scenes have daylight streaming through the windows, a boom drops into the frame for a good 15 seconds, and the actors and plot are 100% pure cheese, to the point that all the actors are cheap imitations of other, more famous actors. The head vampire is a Pacino clone, and Carmen Electra is, well, Carmen Electra. This being said, I must tell you that I have not laughed so hard at a film in quite a while. The premise of the movie is that a young man (I'm guessing high school) is left home alone for the summer by his parents. Naturally, he chooses the cliched course of action: he hangs out on the beach and accidentally invites a group of vampires to live in his house. When he discovers they are vampires, he tries to get them to leave, and hijinks ensue. As a result, this movie is so bad that you can't help but enjoy it. How can you resist any movie that has Adam West of Batman fame as a vampire slayer named "The Big Kahuna"? The best way to enjoy this movie is to gather a bunch of your closest friends and hurl insults at this movie, as is the custom in many colleges. If you find yourself trapped without a group, you can always turn on the commentary track in which two guys (they won't say who, but I get the feeling it's the director and a friend) insult the movie for you. I had to pause the movie and gasp for air they we so funny. Overall, this is a great party movie. Does it have any nudity whatsoever? No. Is it a violent gore-fest? Not especially. Will it make you laugh? Definately.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I feel sorry for those who watched this on VHS... heh...
Review: The VHS of this movie does not do it justice, and I feel sympathy for those who have not explored the DVD! As you can see from comments circulating about this movie, it IS bad, but most delightfully so! When I first picked out the movie to watch, I had the intention of reviewing a good, bad B movie (does that make sense?). But this BAD bad B movie turned out to be a GREAT bad B movie!

I popped in the DVD and for some reason I felt compelled to go to the "special features" and then to "audio" (and this is where the disadvantage of the VHS version kicks in). There, I saw: - "Cat Track" - "The hell is a "cat track???" Well, it is because of this track that I not only have bought the movie on DVD, but have also strongly recommended it to others! This movie was MADE to be hilariously BAD and you'll agree if you just watch even the first 5 minutes using this track! Think Mystery Sience Theater 3000-UNCENSORED!... and you'll get the drift! I have never watched this movie in its original audio format, nor do I ever plan to as that would drop my IQ 100 pts. (But I might as well have since I laughed so hard at times, my brain could have shot out my nose...)

So in summary: "Cat Track" audio + Adam West + BAD Cheesy Vampire Movie = Frickin' Hilarious!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Lame Vampire Films
Review: There are different kinds of vampire films. This one falls into that oh so cherished category of intentionally hoaky and bad. If your only goal from a vampire film is to see half naked vampire women seducing young men, well then, you might be satisified with this second rate vampire picture. After all, you can't beat Carmen Electra as a seductress. However, everything else about this film is beyond the usual bad and goes straight to toilet city. If you want to see simular vampire films, but with better quality, check out The Fearless Vampire Killers or Beverly Hills Vamp.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible. Absolutely Horrible. Oh, God...help...
Review: They made this movie with two cents, maybe three. I can't believe this actually made it to a DVD. What for anyway? Is this a home made movie, or what? It's recorded with a digital camera. I can see the pixels in some shots. For gods sake what have you done!!! If you have this movie in your house: Burn it. Please. I beg you.
