Ankle Biters

i have no idea how this film ; 1. got made 2. got put on a distribution system 3. got upgraded from VHS to DVD. 4. did not cause another holocaust.

i would love to see the production file on this film. it looks similar to something a 13 year old boy might make with his mates after seeing the movie Blade for the first time. the editing is awful, the camera shots are awful, the acting..................

but if you are like me and a sucker for those awful films then watch it. if only to appreciate that there are films out there that are worse than Uwe Boll's 'House Of The Dead'

you can also use it as a huge morale boost knowing that whatever films you may churn out through your life, there is a 99.99% chance it will be better than this pile of tripe.

Absolutely phenomenal.

The film is quite simply a life changing experience for until you have seen this film you can never, ever, ever truly say that you have seen a bad film. This film is an absolute must see otherwise you can never appreciate what the people on these message boards and i have witnessed.

The plot (for what its worth it does kind of have one) is just plain stupid, midget vampires trying to bring back tall vampires. And the script is so bad there are porn writers in Hollywood using it as toilet paper. And as for the camera work, direction and production i only need to tell you two things that actually happened in the film to give you some idea of how much effort and thought they put into this.

A scene with one of the midget vampires takes place in broad daylight, the film is set in Atlanta (it looks more like Texas to be honest with you) so needless to say thats its pretty damn sunny. And in order to create the illusion of one of the midget vampires jumping on a table they simply made him jump of it and played it backwards. They must have been pretty pleased with how this panned out because they used the exact same trick....as a matter of fact i believe it was even the exact same shot 3 times! For the amount of effort this thing must have taken i would say it doesn't even deserve to be rewarded with a spot on the worst 100 films of all time, but, i do believe that it is without doubt the worst film ever made. So with that in mind who are we to deprive this film of its place in history? Come on people get watching and voting, there can't be anything worse than this out there.

What's going on? I'm sure you used to have to show some sort of vague talent before someone let you make a film? I rented this from the video store, and I was expecting bad acting, lots of blood, cheap horror, vampires biting ankles. But this???

I'm not going to complain about things that were constrained by budget, as obviously you've got to start somewhere etc, and this guy clearly had no money. But there was no creativity whatsoever.

The lingering, slow, purposeless shots of cars... driving... down... roads. And the action scenes without the merest hint of directing talent, or actors willing to do any kind of stunts. And no matter how many times you reverse a shot of someone jumping off a tall thing, it doesn't make it "charming" or a "marvel". And what was with that scene in the middle where the sound goes really quiet? If you're reading this director-man, did you not watch this film once you'd made it? Obviously you had no boom mike, but you can't just make a scene where you can't hear the plot.

I read the back of the video sleeve - dwarf vampires take over the world - and though this could perhaps be the best film ever made. Sadly not. It's not big or clever. It's not cult. It's just badly made.

A person making a film on celluloid would had to pay for every foot of film, thereby making them careful and selective with what they shot. But if this is the way things are going with DV, I think I'd rather poke out my eyes than watch another amatuer DV film.

Dwarf vampires... an exploitation film at its finest. Or so you might think.

From the moment that you first see the bad camera work and can't identify what was just said with the horrid sound recording, you know that you're in for a ride that you will remember in your worst nightmares.

I love low-budget independents. They are almost always made with passion and love. This one looks to have been made on a couple cases of really cheap beer and a couple of hundred bucks. There is a story here. Kind of. Mostly there are dwarf alcoholics, motorcycles, and what I would call bad acting (except that acting usually requires a modicum of effort).

The music for the closing credits will haunt you long after you have tried to forget the rest of the movie. (THREE FEET TALL! TWO INCH FANGS!)

However, I must give props to the filmmakers for actually making a feature and getting it distributed. It sets the bar for the wannabe indie filmmaker and gives us hope that one day, we too will be famous.

I unfortuntely made the mistake of not renting this first and went ahead an bought it. Wow, was I sorry. This movie had potential. Key word: "Had". The problems? Lets start with number one. That of course is the filming. This had the unmistakable look of a 1990 camcorder look. The kind that stopped being produced in 1992. Number two. Does anyone that had a hand in making this movie know the concept of AUDIO COMPRESSION?!?!?! The audio levels were haphazardly mixed together. And no doubt, all dialogue was recorded with the mic that was on the camcorder. Terrible. Number three? Number four? Number five? I won't even bother. As this movie started, my friends and I knew it would be bad. But at least I was hoping for at least 'some' entertainment. Not even the distraction of alcohol could help. I am sorry that I own this. Anyone want to buy my copy ?
