The Vampire Next Door

You should not go in this expecting a masterpiece. Its low budget, plot is nothing revolutionary. Camera work is decent, acting is not bad, the main actor Cameron was sorta ok. I think the girls are newish in the acting business, so they do look a little bit off.

Its a story of a girl living next door to him, that happens to be a vampire on a mission. I will not give too much details, but when she does kill the old man that is supposed to be a vampire, you never actually see anything that would make him a vampire. Strange decision by the director.

I did chuckle and laugh few times at the jokes, mostly at his workplace. I did not really see much chemistry between the characters, and the last scene when the blonde was explaining the brunette the past was rushed. Funny thing that only the kiss between the two girls was pretty darn good, its like that is the only chemistry that really stood out. Its like they are dating in real life haha.

Overall a decent horror vampire comedy. Nothing spectacular, but not really that bad.

The special effects budget was about £2.50, most of which was spent on red corn syrup and eyeliner to draw squiggly lines on Victoria's face. Victoria's costumes came from the SHEIN Halloween sale. Cameron was as likeable as Covid on your birthday and at least then you still get presents. Why Diane was vaguely interested in Cameron was the greatest mystery as she was a beautiful woman and he looked like a McDonald's employee. For the entire film the ice cream shop didn't have a single customer to save on the cost of extras. All of this terribleness was why I couldn't stop watching this movie until the end. At one point it seemed like it was going to turn into a porno but alas no as this did seem to be the director's true calling. All the actors gave it their best shots with what little they had to work with. Gold stars to you all and to the director and writer I will leave you with the comment my sister's teacher gave her in a school report "Jessica always likes to contribute in class however the relevance of her contributions are not always apparent".

I love comedy horror. It's a tradition between my husband & I to enjoy these movies together for a laugh. The cheesier the better. I never like to be critical of anyone's work. No matter what, I like to consider peoples art. The storyline was predictable & would've been fun but due to the vapid & preposterous behavior of the male characters it became a bit hard to take. I understand wanting to make strong female characters but do we have to make the males in the film downright silly & buffoonish? It didn't/ doesn't come off as comedic because every male character in the film lacks intellect...

Flat is the best way i can think of to describe it and the ending was stupid . A six your old would have written a better script it definitely would have been more imaginative and entertaining. It was like they were deliberately trying to make a boring movie by excluding any tension , mystery , humour , or an real excitement. A few little tweaks to the scenes would have been enough and of course the stupid twist , that they tried to explain with an even more pathetic backstoy. The twist just didn't work because , they just didn't it set up right .It felt forced and wasn't really a shock at all . Pathetic. I gave it 3/10 originally but as im writnig i realise thats too genorous,but I can't change the rating . And as beautiful as the female leads are ,the blonde lady was far to old for the role .Still beautiful and young looking but just to old for that role and it showed especially next to the male lead

. It could of been good even great but its not even so bad its good level , pretty sure the writer or director is a fan of Clerks and the Original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie.

After reading the reviews, I really wasn't expecting a lot... It is a bit 'B' movie'ish but it certainly wasn't the worst film I've seen... It wasted and hour and a half while I was waiting for the washing to tumble... Girls were attractive even if the story wasn't the most original... Think a low budget Fright Night... Maybe withba bigger budget it may have been better but I thought it was fine as it was - Not every film can be a massive blockbuster... Sure there aren't going to be any 'Oscars' won in this film... But it is quite engaging... Go on - Give it a go on a dull Sunday afternoon.... You won't be disappointed... Just don't set your expectations too high...
