NO HOLDS BARRED,
By Mr. D. L. Rees "LEE DAVID" (DORSET) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Lair 1-3 Ultimate Box Set [DVD] (DVD)
The Lair is an island's gay club, its vampire staff liking nothing better than to bare their fangs, and practically everything else, whilst gorging on the blood of unsuspecting tourists. Sheriff Holt, NOT the screen's brightest lawman, puzzles about corpses with puncture marks on their necks. Reporter Tom is more astute, and determines to investigate....Reminiscent of old fashioned B feature horror movies as far as clunky writing and acting are concerned, the series has the sex factor to make viewers sit up and take note. The creators of "Dante's Cove" are again determined to push out the boundaries as far as possible, sweaty males pawing each other a speciality. In case interest flags, they further introduce a werewolf, a homicidal orchid and a newcomer who turns people into stone. This is trash television, the makers the first to admit it and to mock it - as revealed in the bonuses. It is also funny, whether intentionally or not, never more so than with the dialogue and the way it is delivered. Frankie, unexpectedly, proves the show's star - he a survivor even when dead. Initially the club's wimpish dogsbody, his ghost mischievously causes problems for those who once bossed him around. Some viewers may prefer these aspects to the ubiquitous erotic excesses. The episodes are short (under 25 minutes). The seasons grow longer (5 episodes, then 9, finally 13). The boxed set is certainly the most economical way to buy. A self-indulgent offering that outsoaps the soaps with OTT characters, preposterous storylines and sex at every opportunity. Art it is not, nor does it pretend to be. Cliffhangers help render it addictive and ensure a cult following.

Get's better with each series,

This review is from: Lair 1-3 Ultimate Box Set [DVD] (DVD)
After a long gruelling day it was good to end it with some 'light-hearted' suspense and some pretty awesome looking guys to boot. Initially the plot wavered with implausible lines or scenarios; understatements in the script that would just not happen at real murder scenes or in hospitals that suddenly lose bodies and so on. But you can't help being picked up by the overall plot, the stunning actors, and some pretty graphic scenes. By the end of series 3 your heart is pounding for the initial villein of the piece, Dameon, and of course Thom; and even the bad guys you find yourself feeling sorry for. It's a good buy, great entertainment and every reason to look forward to the next series. Turn a blind eye to the occasional misdirection. It's good fun.
