Great story-some unfortunate stylistic and cinematic ideas, Dec 14 2004

Once you get past the awful stylistic choices, this movie has a compelling story line with likeable main characters. Unfortunately, the heavy stylized effects start off early when the good vampire's girl gets turned into a vampire by a jealous vampire girlfriend. It would be easy to dismiss the story at this point. The dancelike action-reaction scene falls short. But if you watch this movie, and get used to this style--the characters take over. The mother, turned vampire, trying to protect her son is terrific. At first, she doesn't even know she's a vampire. Resisting the urg to kill her boy,she eats the family's pet instead--a hamster--in a gruesomely funny scene. My favorite scene is when two thugs try to attack the newly born vampiress. They get the surprise of their lives.
I do have to say that whoever did the lighting in this movie needs help. There are other lights besides big key lights with gels( and more gel colors than two). But, in my humble opinion the movie is better than its production values. It's a fun little vampire flick.

B-movie goodness, Aug 16 2011

Obviously most people who wrote their reviews don't have the same sense, appreciation or eye as I do. I'm not going to tell you this movie is full of great acting, plot, or cinematography. It's not. But all of those traditional things that are lacking in the face of typical hollywood films, is a great campy, cheesy, b-horror movie about vampires. You have to have a certain sense of humor to enjoy these types of films. This is what I call a good "bad" movie. People take things so seriously, and can't stop for a second to realize that these low budget movies are satirical, tongue in cheek and probably MEANT to be chock full of camp and cheese. And if the director wanted the movie to be serious, well that just makes it even more hilarious and great. If you like Razor Blade Smile and Modern Vampires, then you'll like this movie.

Awful vampire movie, Feb 28 1999

A woman is attacked by a vampire and becomes 'an accident'. Turned into a vampire without approval of the local clan, her sire must hunt her down and kill her.
Fairly poor movie, but the only one I've ever seen that has a vampire dwarf.
