Format:Blu-ray
Ah Vamp. It's been a long wait for this typically mid-80s cheese fest to arrive on dvd, not least Blu Ray, in a presentation that befits its reverence in my house. And another great package from Arrow Video. If I won the lottery I'd create a company like Arrow that gleefully release films that obviously they enjoyed as teenagers and that deservedly merit release now amongst a bunch of conveyer belt bull that festers in over priced cineplexes the length and breadth of the country.
But Vamp. A collection of great special effects, decent acting, Dedee Pfeiffer, fast paced script and generally satisfying all through. Made at a time before every film had to have special effects made by some eastern european 20 year old sat at a computer knocking out scene after scene of brain dead and weightless rubbish taking direction from some talentless director in another country over the phone.
There's more invention in this film than a dozen recent alleged 'horror' films.
Not a great film by any stretch of the imagination but an enjoyable 90 odd minutes of daftness, amusement and proper fx scenes in a film that knows its audience and has fun in the process.
Silly but recommended.

After almost 2 decades (maybe more) I finally got round to watching Vamp again and was glad I did.
Well shot and doesn't look like it has dated wither Arrow give it a fine transfer and in Blu Ray it looks Great. I love the locations used in Downtown Los Angeles and the seedy back streets and neighbourhood in general, gives a great backdrop for the storyline.
f you like films like Fright Night (original)and Salem's Lot (original) you should enjoy this film.
4 Stars for a good film and great extras from Arrow.

In order to Join a fraternity Keith and Aj must find a stripper for the frat brothers, heading to the wrong side of town they discover a strip club called the after dark club where all is not what it seems, and the strippers are after more than just the cash in your wallett! Vamp is one of those long neglected eighties classics previously only available on the decent anchor bay us release, bought by horror fans like myself who first caught the movie on late night telly. Its very cheesy, sure but vamp is also very entertaining with some pretty good acting excellent cinematography and use of color and manages to mix horror and humour in exactly the right doses, and I cant help but think quentin tarantino and robert rodriguez took a look at this before making dusk till dawn. If you havent seen this film yet buy it!
The question is for fans, is it worth the upgrade to blu-ray? I have to admit even after the terriffic jobs done on city of the living dead, inferno et al I was still unconvinced, as the anchor bay disc looks fine on upscale through my phillips dvd player with HDMI. Well arrows version looks BETTER. The colors have never looked so vibrant, with the reds and greens looking far richer than in any dvd upscale. The picture is razor sharp with minor amounts of grain and the sound mix is fantastic, i'm ebaying my anchor bay disc!
Extras wise, as usual Arrow have laid it on to give the fans an excellent package.
*Audio commentary with star Robert rusler and critic callum waddell.
*Introduction by robert rusler.
*Vamp it up-Dedee pheiffer remembers the after dark club.
*Vamp stripped bare-an interview with robert wenk.
*back to the 80's, producing a campy cult classic.
*scrapbook of scares-richard wenk looks over his collection of vamp memorabilia.
*Behind the scenes rehersals.
*blooper reel
*dracula bites the big apple-short film by richard wenk.
*trailer.
*easter egg.
*Jay slater collectors booklet.
Phew! quite a lot then, and all very informative for those of us after bonus features. This is a great package for fans, and a film well worth checking out if you havent seen it already. For those of you unconvinced by the merits of blu-ray Arrow have put the film out on dvd as well Vamp [DVD] [1986] (and save yourself a fiver) Either way this is an essential purchase.
