Night Fangs

Wow, there's a few harsh reviews for a fun movie, can't help wonder if it's personal.. Maybe someone thought she could act better than the chosen leads? Which leads me into my review! We rented this for a Halloween weekend Indie horror flick fest. I thought it was quick gory fun, with all the staples of your lesbian vampire flick. (If you don't know what that is check out any of the Hammer films, Caress of a Vampire, Vampyres Lesbos, etc.) The story seems to run on a little long in points, but then you get the payoff scene which gave it a mini-series feel at times. The actresses weren't Judi Dench caliber but it's a vampire flick. I especially like the casting of a full-figured woman for the lead. (To many cheerleader hookers in horror flicks these days.) They carried the material well, and the material was just enough story to setup and tie together the action, which is what the film was about- violence and gore! Good fun, and perfect for a Halloween weekend viewing.

Is anything conceivably worse than this movie? No, because getting gang raped by a dozen vampire monkeys IS inconceivably unpleasant.

The monkeys might even be better actors, and the toking chimp would definitely be a better director.

What this movie lacked in plot it made up for in..

wait, no, nothing makes up for that.

The acting grade was so low there aren't enough letters in the English alphabet to describe.

The cinnamon tography was tasty; the fat dikes were not. Neither pain nor control are appropriate to sexuality. This movie is sexually derisive and altogether foul.

I could get past the obvious low budget aspects of this film, but the story didn't hold my interest at all. I kept finding myself looking at the time wondering when it would be over.

I agree with those who said they should have delved more into the diaries of what's-her-face. There was way too much unexplained, and even for a vampire movie, there was too much suspension of belief required. One character turns into a vampire when there was no reason to understand why and another seemed not to when he should have.

Too many scenes were set up with no explanation and no discernible conclusion, leaving much of the film to be a sequence of disjointed vignettes.

I got the impression that this was the work of a film student who hired whoever he could dig up from other students attending whatever school he was studying at.

I gave this movie a very generous 3 out of 10 for one reason, it made me laugh. I know, it is supposed to be a horror movie, how did it make me laugh? Well we start of with two art teachers who are lesbian lovers and they are searching for everlasting life, so how better to achieve this than to try and find Elizabeth Bathory's diary! Then the story line really kicks in, because of course like with most everlasting life charms etc, you need to sacrifice a virgin! and so ensues a load rubbish!! The film starts off really bad, it gets slightly better and then it turns into a really bad TV movie with one of the worst and sorry to say badly acted finales I have ever seen! The film looks like it starred and was filmed by a college class and if that was the case, then they all need a lot more time in college! If anyone respects there eyes and likes their vampire movies then you should not even waste your time reading the cover. If you have picked it up, put it down right now and if you don't, you will regret it for a long time, in fact, you will regret it until you watch 7 Mummies, only then will you think Night Fangs is a good film!

I watch cheesy horror movies in the hopes of finder a diamond in the rough....a new twist or at least a decent take on an old one. Nightfangs isn't a diamond, but not a piece of coal either. It was obviously filmed on a shoestring budget, the acting is pretty wooden and the sound quality rates up there with your videotaped birthday parties and Christmas mornings.

Having whined about quality, let me say that some of the visuals were, considering the lack of cash, pretty good with some stylish gleams of promise. The vampire in the fireplace being particularly funny/creepy at the same time. The director was, I suspect, a fan of the old 70's "'Salem's Lot", with a few of the images seeming to come directly from it, the g/f in the rocker and vampire with the gleaming eyes in the bathroom being two obvious examples, but at least they were well used.

Regarding the previous comments regarding how vampires act.... There seems to be a number of opinions regarding how vampires "should" act. The vampires in this movie fall into the category or "mindless eating machines" with a small bit of wile to lure in the prey. Don't expect any deep and meaningful "Interview with a Vampire" dialogue here. But it doesn't really matter. It is all great fun, if blood smeared faces and a VanHelsing character that reminded me a lot of the OCD detective Monk is your idea of a good time.
