I've always had a soft spot for Full Moon Productions. They are cheesy light hearted horror films with a certain charm about them that have kicked off several major horror franchises.

Though the acting is usually poor and the sfx dreadful I have to say I do far prefer creature features over modern CGI driven drivel.

Here is a vampire tale and the whole thing despite being modern for a Full Moon Production movie feels like a true loyal one of their films and holds all of the original charm.

Don't get me wrong Decadent Evil is hardly a good film but it has it's qualities if you take the time to look.

I mean for a start besides the usual Full Moon charm we have the excellent Phil Fondacaro in a role that is frighteningly similar to his in the Tales From The Crypt movie Bordello Of Blood (1996). Ontop of that we have a decent enough storyline and slightly above par cast.

Again I know it's cheesy, I know it's really not exactly a good film alike any of Full Moons stuff but it's a neat throwback to the VHS days and that to me is a good thing.

The film also contains one of the most unusual sex scenes in cinema history. Comparable to Team America World Police (2004) and that's all I'm going to say.

Dumb but harmless fun and a welcome addition to Full Moons horror library.

Particularly odd movie from Charles Band and his Full Moon studio. With a cast of merely 10 people and a hour running time there is little chance to really develop the story. Debra Mayer is suitably sexy and superbly acts in the main role. Not sure what Phil Fondacaro is doing with a kind of Sherlock Gnomes (sorry, that was bad but so is his performance here) chasing vampires and the like. Mayer is not too happy at this and alongside a horny Marin (small bloody looking puppet) seeks to destroy him but then perhaps Marvin has plans of his own. Lots of sex (including ugly puppet sex) this feels more sleazy that other Band films, mainly I think, because of the awfully weak story. The first 10 minutes of the movie are merely randomly edited segments of Subspecies movie 'Vampire Journals' explaining the legend of Radu (Subspecies vampire) and Ivan's (Fondacaro) task to track vampires like Radu-his arch enemy. Charles Band takes credit for the song 'Dance Trance' though anyone who has seen 'Run, Lola, Run' will know that this is actually Franke Potente's song from this with slightly different words. Naughty. Production company is 'Astonishing Features' but that is a far off mark this time, though fun none the less.

I have seen bad movies. We all have. But this is one of those movies that you purchase from cable on demand because you read the title and summery and just wanted to give it a shot. Vampires. Any movie about vampires has to have some entertainment value right? All the whiskey at 7-11 couldn't make this movie enjoyable. I just want to punch my brain. I hate when I am stupid enough to pay $4 to watch something that my dog wouldn't even feel worthy enough to pee and crap on. The only entertaining part is at the end when puppets that look like they were crapped out of a fat man have some raw dogging. It hurts....... ooh aneurysm........

This is a decent film for its kind. The story moves along with snappy, hardboiled dialogue and Phil Fondecaro and Raelyn Hennessee stand out as the midget Van Helsing and vampire stripper, respectively. Writer August White was known for a few stinkers (try "Petrified"), but in this one he manages to jack up the conventions of a sleazy genre and keeps what could have been a sagging storyline moving at lightning speed. To be honest, you can't help but expect a bit of T & A with straight-to-video movies like this, and in this respect Decadent Evil was disappointing. Still, there is the obligatory strip club scenery (it's rumored White was an uncredited patron in the opening scene) and plenty of nubile women to earn the "Decadent" part of the title. And there's evil in it as well, in the form of a wonderfully hideous little creature called a homunculus (just wait till you see the end!). All in all, a pretty good bit of entertainment from Full Moon.

According to the commentary this movie was filmed in 6 days, and it is evident that six days was 5 days too long. Its rare for the sex and nudity in a B movie to not lower the overall quality of the film, but even this was of below average quality (I used to think there was no such thing as "bad" sex and "bad" nudity, but this movie proved me wrong on both issues). I was surprised that the entire cast and production crew was listed using their actual names; I fully expected to see that "Alan Smithee" was responsible for every role. I finally found a movie that makes SuperTwink (Howard Stern's Wack Pack production)entertaining. If you do watch this movie, be sure to stay for the commentary as it is better acted, better produced, and has a superior plot than the movie itself.

I do believe that the screen play was so very well written that other studio exec's should really take a good look at the young man who made this movie at all possible.... This is a good movie for what the audience's crave for in the horror genre. Rightly so, it was given to them full force. This movie has all of the main ingredient's. This movie was not written by a novice.... Someone who knew what they were doing made this movie possible. The screen writer is the person who pulled this movie together. More studio exec's really should take a much better look at this screen play writer's potential. He could be the next great screen writer in he history of Hollywood. I have a feeling he is going to be the next Brando of screen writing. Comments by:Shister's Mister.

First, anyone who knew Full Moon Pictures know that these were B-movies made with limited funding. Their more for entertainment using horror, comedy, sexy situations or whatever else keeps them selling or renting. This picture is from Wizard Entertainment(Charles Band's new Co.) It's short, low budget, and a quick release that just came out to let old F.M. fans know that their back in business. I found it humorous and well directed for about an hour long quick flick. If you can't handle B movies, move on to something else. Besides that, remember that for a small company, Full Moon released probably a few hundred releases which about half are becoming available on DVD's. (FINALLY) Don't forget the great pictures Mr.Band was involved with such as: Puppet Master series, Subspecies, Castle Freak, Re-animator, From Beyond, etc., So you can see that for a B movie making firm they had some success in the horror and sci-fi genre. Well i'm glad for one to see Mr. Band and company back in business. Long live Full Moon Fans!

I had never heard of this Charles Band movie, probably because its not on the actual Full Moon label but its still a Charles Band movie through and through. You get several minutes of intro credits, followed by a pretty long scene of a stripper stripping and the end credits roll for 7 minutes lmao. The movie's runtime is only like 1hr5m so by the time this is all factored in, its like 45 minutes worth of movie. Still, pretty entertaining with some very funny parts and lots of T&A.
