V for Vengeance

Some things in life just don't mix. And two of those things are horror and comedy. This tries, and fails on both levels.

The wooden stakes are actually less wooden than the acting. Apart from the fish who out acted everyone in the cast. Some people say that the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer film was bad, but this makes it look positively Shakespearean!

I'm desperately trying to think of one good thing about this film. But when the best part of watching it was the end credits starting, it's fairly obvious that there's nothing good about it.

Unless you like films with bad acting, a weak script, a complete lack of direction, and losing around 90 minutes of precious life, you should probably avoid this film at all costs!

The most frightening thing about this film is that films this bad tend to become franchises. And we all know what that means..... 😱

The acting isn't the best and it's cheaply made but it is what it is, overall it's moderately entertaining and passes the time, can't ask for much more really from a low budget film.

Start with a new mythos for vampires without any explanation of this. Highlight the "sexy" female vampire trope. Add in poorly choreographed and executed "wu shu (?)" Martial arts. Somehow take lame daddy joke style but twist it into girl power ideas. Add all the obvious plot twists that have been beaten to death in just about every vampire movie. Then end with the idea that more is to come (Please No!).

I gave this movie a three as the likeability if the three sisters was decent enough that I actually watched the entire film. But otherwise there isn't much joy in watching the film. It just sits heavy with its lameness.

It's an ok slasher movie with some nice visuals; good weaponry and a typically-attractive lead cast. It's just not that wow as a movie script as it's been done so many times before.

The script could do with a bit of tweaking; you're not a genius if you know about genetics. It's got some goofy moments which are funny and it's a nice revenge plot but it doesn't take itself too seriously and neither should the viewer.

It's just fun popcorn entertainment. It's got massive inconsistencies like when Marcus is not registered as being a vampire and the blood plot is goofy as best.

It's just a bit of fun and doesn't deserve a low score as it's not pretending to be a big movie.

From the poster alone you could basically guess what you're going to get from this film, so hating it for living up to that expectation is sort of pointless. You don't go eating ice-cream when you're lactose intolerant then give the brand a bad review, now do you? So with that in mind, I watched this film and thought it was okay. I got a few laughs and actual effort seemed to be put into this work. It was fine for what it is and that's all there is to it.
