Vamp (1986)

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I was searching in DVD's store for a good titles to buy something,when l've face a weird one about vampyres,quickly l figure out that it's about Grace Jones's movie from mid 80',the cheapest price and bad cover give me some doubt to take it,after all l bring it and start watching without so much expectation,the picture on running l realize that l did the propper choice,this trash horror is quite amazing piece of art which will be in my mind forever!!!Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6.5

This 1986 horror comedy stars Chris Makepeace, Robert Rusler, Dedee Pfeiffer, Gedde Watanabe and Grace Jones. Makepeace (Meatballs) and Rusler (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2) play college pals, Keith and A.J. who decide to find strippers to impress a frat they're pledging. They ask for a ride from classmate, Duncan (Watanabe) to go to a strip bar, "The After Dark" and discover that it's a vampire haven. Pfeiffer (Sister of Michelle Pfeiffer) plays waitress, Allison and Jones (A View to a Kill) plays vampire leader, Katrina. This is a pretty good flick with a decent cast and great make-up effects which obviously inspired, "From Dusk Till Dawn." If you enjoy vampire flicks, check this out.

Two fraternity pledges go to a bar looking for strippers to entertain their college friends. They have problems with transportation, Biker gangs, and worst of all, the staff of the bar. Because they all seem to be vampires. Oh, and Grace Jones, who does the most boring strip in the history of film....So we have three guys who go on a road trip, and we have the token comedy one, throw in some Vampires for good measure, and you have a cult movie.Just not a very good one. For starters, Jones must have done this as a favour, because she's hardly in it, yet gets all the credit and her face popped up on every one sheet. Pull up to the bumper was a hit, and she hit Russell Harty, so I supposed it's justified.The rest of the cast are as bland as the story, and the humour is a little too in your face, once the vampires 'turn'.It's one of those movies that 'you had to be there to appreciate it'.I wasn't, and I don't appreciate it.

This is a decent vampire flick that, unlike some of its 80's counterparts (Fright Night, Near Dark, The Lost Boys) has been long forgotten. It features the exceptional concept of a group of ancient, once-powerful vampires now reduced to a bunch of losers who get their victims by operating a strip club in a desolate part of town (and believe they're performing a public service by getting rid of the bottom-rung members of society). Much more could have been done with this idea, but the focus is on the teenage leads as they stumble into the club and can't seem to stumble out. Chris Makepeace and Robert Rusler are okay, not too memorable, but Deedee Pfeiffer stands out for her incredible cuteness. Gedde Watanabe seems annoying at first but turns out to be a funny sidekick--his dying word is hilarious (seriously, watch the movie just for that). Sandy Baron also has a standout role as the pathetic club owner, and Grace Jones is, uh, quite freaky. For some reason the director has gone completely overboard with a neon pink and green color scheme, but it gives the movie a distinctive universe. The only irritating thing, if you like tradition with your vampire movies, is that the vampires turn into distinctly non-vampiric monsters when they attack, but this can be tolerated. 7/10.
