Vampire Virus

I will start out by saying that at least writers Sam Ashurst, Jerome Reygner-Kalfon, Sebastien Semon and Charlie Steeds tried. They failed, but at least they tried.

I sat down to watch director Charlie Steeds's 2020 movie "Vampire Virus", as I do like horror movies, and vampires are iconic screen monsters, so of course there was some appeal to this movie.

Turns out that I might as well have skipped on "Vampire Virus", because the storyline was just so mundane and bordering on being pointless that it was somewhat of a struggle to sit through the entire movie. I did manage to do so, though I can't really claim that I was particularly entertained by what this movie delivered.

The acting in the movie was adequate, although you should not expect to be blown away by any overly impressive accomplishments. I didn't recognize a single actor or actress in the movie. It should be said, though, that their acting performances are severely hindered by a total lack of proper script and storyline, and the fact that the written characters in the movie were so boring and devoid of characteristics, didn't really do much to put the performers in a good light.

For a vampire movie, then "Vampire Virus" was just a swing and a miss. The movie came and went without as much as a bite or a hiss. If you haven't heard of this movie, don't worry, you're not missing out on a great moment in vampire cinema.

I am still trying to figure out how a movie like "Vampire Virus" with a total lack of a proper script and storyline even makes it through production.

And before I forget, I have to mention the vampire teeth on the vampires in the movie. Wow. Just wow. Are you kidding me? Those were seriously the worst prosthetics that I have ever seen in vampire movies. It was so bad that it looked even worse than the plastic teeth you can buy for kids in stores around Halloween time.

My rating of "Vampire Virus" is a mere two out of ten stars. You might want to skip on this movie entirely, because it is a waste of time, money and effort. If you enjoy vampire movies, there are many other and better choices of movies to pick from.

I quite like the (very) basic premise of this, but I don't know why?

It's hard to see past the bad script, acting, effects and low budget... Oh, and bad attempts at humour and erm... everything else really.

Actually, I don't know why I'm not marking this lower because it's really not good. However, it has something going for it and I don't know what? It might genuinely be because it's so naff.

This is the only vampire movie I've ever seen where the vampires lair is the grotty basement of a local pub with a few candles and curtains hung around the place - becos it's earotiiicccc...

Breathtaking. I was not expecting such tremendous performances from the actors but they delivered beyond my expectations. It's all about what suffering people have to take to suppress their inner pain. And also it busted many myths regarding vampires. A must watch. A great treat for the senses. 10/10

Unfortunately the cover art sums up this title pretty well. Its a cheesy vampire flick that has serious Sci-Fy channel overtones. Very amateurish, poorly acted written and directed. It's not really fun movie either so has very little going for it.

I can think of no good reason that anyone should watch it since it has no real entertainment value for anyone who isn't a sadist. Just give it a wide birth, unless your a filmography student and you want to know what not to do when making a production.

3/10 is an honest score.

Terrible movie.... just a mild step above a high school movie project. Very bad acting, poor script, no real story-line.

Seriously, using strawberry desert sauce for blood just does not work.

The way this movies is described and they way it was panning out, I was waiting for the sex scene..... but it never happened.

This is a terrible movie.... why bother making it?
