I didn't expect a lot from this low budget vampire movie but it was better than expected. There were a lot of characters and several linking story lines to keep the viewer interested. I didn't like the fact that they just killed at random littering the countryside with corpses and NOBODY noticed, I'm sure American cops are better than that. As previous reviewers pointed out this is very bloody and the director likes the sort of vampire that bites chunks out of its victim's necks rather than just sinking in the fangs, you have been warned. Be prepared for lots of scantily dressed ladies writhing around a lot but suprisingly little nudity. it is also over two hours long. This could have been a very good vampire movie with a bigger budget and a little more thought, 5/10

I'm so glad I own this film, after finding it on a shelf in Oxfam I kept it to myself for years thinking it was a guilty pleasure, that i was the only person who could love a film like this. Then one day I watched it with a coupla mates and guess what? Its not just me , they loved it too!
The running time comes in at nearly two hours but no part of the film feels particularly protracted or dragged out. We are basically immersed in a vampire underworld. The local wise guys with their comical Brooklyn accents are lookin to take over while hunting for another vamp who stole a shedload of cash from them and ran off. Tracking down all of these is a messed up vampire assassin who is very upset that she was left to turn rather than being killed. Add to the mix zombie slaves, Bodyguards who look like ziegfried and roy and the funniest representation of death since Terry Pratchetts and you've got a stunning ride into the absurd.
There isn't a frame of this film I would change (even Marcel going for a crap is a look into the world of vampires I never thought I'd see!) and every scene (though cheap looking and even amateur in places) looks good and is well acted. Enough blood to satisfy the gore hounds and a few moments not for the squeamish. Some genuinely funny moments and a story that pulls you effortlessly from opening credits to the 'What happened to jimmy's weed' ending.
Going by the credits and the impression the film gives me, it appears to have been entirely made by a group of mates who have a lot of love for all the genres covered. Made by fans for fans. Not by some big studio releasing half baked Romcom, american teen, faux B-movie, production line, remake rubbish. (sorry, ill get off my soap box...)
You need this film in your life, even just to laugh at Deaths Argyll socks!

This film is a real classic of low-budget horror. It manages to not only include various gore and T & A but a genuinely interesting and detailed plot. The characters are actually given reason and characterisaton - something lacking in most films in this genre. This is the sort of film we should be watching - not Scream or Cabin Fever.
