Vampire Clan

Don't watch this with the expectations of seeing bats and fangs. The biggest disappointment is the title. I've seen MUCH worse. An actor can only go as far as a director allows them to. I have a feeling that the younger cast could've displayed their talents much more if they had the motivation in the script to do it. I've been acting for over 26 years and felt sorry at times for the cast. Some scripts/lines etc. can only be spoken and acted out one way. Unfortunately, when that happens, you have to go with it. There were times when I would ask myself "how could I do it better?" and the result would be what is already there. After watching Vampire Clan, the first thing that came to my mind was another, somewhat similar, "cult following" classic called Helter Skelter. Although different in many ways, those who have ever seen Helter Skelter also remember that it was a deep movie. I would have to agree that the teenage population, along with college students, could probably get more out of this if it was viewed as a project and not to be entertained. Vampire Clan is one of those movies where you have to stick with it from the get go or you lose interest fast. If that happens then you become lost with the plot. Except for a script, that I'm sure was taken from what the writers could only obtain from the actual news events, and a few choppy editing sequences (shortly after the scene with the cop while Rod was putting gas in the vehicle), it's not that bad of a movie. Don't blame the actors if you feel the finished product is poor. They are only one element. Out of a rating of 1-10, 10 being the highest, I would give it a 6 on the entertainment level. If a college professor could get away with showing this to a psych class then I would up the rating to an 8.5. I would love to see the conversations about this piece.

What a terrible movie!!!!!!!! The acting was bad! The story was so bizarre to begin with that to know it was real or "based on a true story" is so out there. This is one of those movies that you see and say "Man, I want my hour and a half back". Don't get me wrong, I LOVE vampire movies and the like, just not this one.

The story of the Vampire Clan is a great story. But the movie, did not do the story justice. Personally I like the movie to a point, but so much of it was incorrect.

1.Rod had long black hair, not short.

2.Dana was overweight, not Charity.

3.Scott Anderson never psyched out during the murders, he somewhat enjoyed himself.

4.Dana was not the one who called for help at the hotel, Charity did.

5.Jeni did not come get Heather after the questioning. In fact Heather was put on trial like the rest, but was proved innocent. And even after her innocence was proved, her family still blamed her for the murders.

For approximately 5-7 years I frequented a club in Western Mass. on Tuesdays, when they held "Haven", a goth/industrial night. At first it was quite cool, yet we stopped going. Mostly because we had our first child last summer, yet a good part was because no one we'd known for those years was really going anymore. Why? Because the people that WERE going are the people who would think this movie is cool. People with made up names and online personalities named "gothyboy88" or "batboygothone312". People who would watch this movie and think the characters were cool. Little bat children and all such trite nonsense. The fact that this movie uses almost nothing but Genitorturers for the music says something. No Kidney Thieves? How about even Bauhaus? Or did they watch the movie and say "like hell we're using any of our songs in that."? I'd say so. The characters use the "I smoke" factor to make us think they're cool. Uh-huh. The scene where they kill the parents is about oh... 34 minutes too long. And tell me what you want, wearing white makeup all the time is just such a cheese factor. Those kids weren't vampires... they weren't even goth. Spending all your 'rents money in Hot Topic all day doesn't put you in a "goth category". Maybe a "hot topic goth" category, but that's worse than being a football jock or cheerleader. You paid too much for the vinyl and now you wanna take it out on some innocent folks by killing them and taking their car? Sorry buddy, that ain't destiny, that's just poor spending. Dorks. I wish I knew the real people, then I could go to them and tell 'em "Hey, guys... just saw your movie. Next time when you play some random role playing game why don't you take your human being pills? Idiots." Tell me what you want about their upbringing. They're stupid, plain and simple. Psychotic? Maybe. But that'd be giving them credit they'd like to flaunt.

this is i would have to say the oddest movie i have ever seen they all belong in the loony bin ... although it is a short movie it's a good 1 ...for me at least im a fan of horror movies and i love movies that like mess with ur mind and like get u thinking that every 1 in the movie is Psychotic...and this movie dose the job :D
