Summary: Awesomely Bad!
Review: A vapire flick that is worth seeing more than once about a small town being overrun by vampires and the humans who are left standing are in the fight of their lives. But in the end good triumphs over evil and the story ends yet doesn't.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: IT'S NOT THAT BAD...REALLY
Review: Come now...How can you not like a horror movie which features the talents of Karen Black, Ami Dolenz, Peter DeLuise, and Garret Morris? Well I suppose you can hate it but I actually thought it wasn't that bad and had one very genuinely creepy scene.

Set in a small town called Allburg, two girls Lucy (Dolenz) and Cindy (Maya McLaughlin) visit an old abandoned church. A creepy looking old gothic cathedral. The legend goes that you can actuall swim in an old crypt beneath the church so the girls give it a try. Well, Cindy loses her crucifix as it floats to the bottom of the crypt and awakens a vampire from his sleep and he immediately kills her while Lucy escapes.

Meanwhile a former priest (DeLuise) has heard the legends of the vampires and comes to Allburg to invesigate and runs into Lucy as she is escaping from the vampire. The pair along with the town drunk, (Garret Morris) have to find a way from stopping the vampire from spreading is bite as already dozens of townspeople have been turned into vampires themselves. One of those, played by Karen Black, is imprisoned in the house of another priest who she constantly torments with her taunts and screams.

The acting is nothig to write home about. Black and Morris are both way over the top, but in kind of a fun and b-movie way. The scene in the old gothic church was quite creepy although why ANYONE would ever want to go swim in a mold invested crypt is beyone me. For a change the vampire isn't some sauve, GQ pretty boy but a rather decrepit, pasty faced, demonic looking thing.

Children of the night was no classic but you could do much worse.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: BAD DVD
Review: I LOVE this film. I am a karen Black Fanatic and had to have it even though the dvd is grainy looking and presented in "fullscreen" ONLY! The story and film itself is creepy and a good dose of old school vampire horror film making but the transfer here is ULTRA sloppy and just plain sad!

Too bad Anchor Bay or Blue Underground didnt get a hold of this good vampire flick! I heap this in the pile with other Great Vamp films like "Lost Boys" and "Near Dark" it has dark humor and good old fashioned creepiness!

I give the film a 4 star rating, the dvd a 2

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: a must own
Review: this is without a doubt the worst movie i've ever seen.

the acting is painful, but the set and prop design is oh so much worse.

my favorite is the van and just about everything involving it.

it stretches the laws of physics and common sense to the breaking point.

the climax is amazing.

i have gained a whole new level of respect for tony randel.

Rating: 2 stars
