Vampire Boys (2011)

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

What can I say? It was better than I thought it would be...but that isn't saying a lot. Most of the acting was dreadful, especially Dylan Vox. Jason Lockhart could not have overacted more...and yet I couldn't help but think that maybe it wasn't his fault. I don't know why, but I think the fault really is with director Charlie Vaughn. It is his job to control what's going on, right? Why didn't he tell these people to reel it in, or in Christian Ferrer case, to actually give more and stop batting his eyes? These vampires can come out in the day and at least they decided to just go with that. Filming movies at night is very expensive and tricky, so they didn't even try. These vampires practically worship the sun. There is some gratuitous nudity in a silly scene near the beginning that could have been so hot--almost was--and then just flopped. I figured with the full frontal nudity of the throw away characters then for sure we'd get the same from the stars. Nope. Not even a butt shot. End the final analysis I have to say that if this movie were not free when I saw it, I would probably ask for my money back. For sure I won't watch a Charlie Vaughn again!

I loved the movie, though i wish it had more scenes that show that they are vampires but otherwise it was an excellent movie and could and would not stop watching it, also i had hoped that not just Jesin was the only one to find love but that the others also had find the one they wanted, i was rooting for Caleb and Jesin all the way to the end.i had hoped that Logan didn't have to die but it just had to be done.i have never seen a gay vampire movie before but this one was my first and i loved it even thought i had thought it was going to be boring at first but then it really got good and i could not stop watching it.Thanks for making this great movie

Warning, contains spoilers.So a cheap gay parody of twilight with some ripped off lines from interview with a vampire. There is too much to criticize about this movie but I'll try my best.The concept of a gay vampire looking for love is intriguing but the execution is high school project quality at best (and I'm sorry for using the word quality in this description) with a couple penis shots that are displayed in poor taste. The whole romance between the sickly Jasin and nerdy Caleb goes from stranger to eternal damnation in a time laps of three days. I mean come on, Romeo and Juliet had about 4 or 5 at least before they joined each other in eternity. I couldn't even feel any kind of legitimacy towards it. I kept thinking the character of Jasin was only seducing Caleb because his biological clock was running out (I say "the characters of" because at no point could I suspend my disbelief while watching the kids perform) The writing is sloppy and feels forced. The movie is supposed to be about love but the romance element is so weak it feels like a movie more about vampiric survival. The myth of finding 'the one' (a mortal to turn into a vampire and be with you forever) before your one hundredth vampire birthday or you die along with all the vampires you created is the only original concept in this film. Everything else feels like ether a parody of another vampire film or straight up rip off. The vampire myth is also nonexistent. Jasin and his entourage of calendar model rejects don't have any traits of traditional or modern vampires other than fangs and blood drinking. They walk around in the sunlight, they have no aversion to garlic or silver, they have no mental or shape shifting powers, they aren't strong or fast which is apparent in one fight scene where they look like 10 year olds having a tantrum. Jasin's manner of talking isn't so much PAINFUL to listen to because of his old style mannerisms but because he talks with a HEAVY emphasis of cliché cocky mysteriousness. It's like he isn't even trying to hide the fact he has something to hide. He sounds like a guy about to go crazy and shoot up the school the next day. On top of that, the poor excuse for a director chose the completely wrong actor to play the lead vampire. Jasin is a skinny sickly looking blond stereotype and he is surrounded by huge muscular lackeys to make him look more menacing. Any of the other vampires would have made a better choice to portray the animalistic danger a vampire should have but not by much. It was kind of obvious that the director had a fetish for the twinkish boy types and wanted to film them with their shirts off for his personal amusement.Caleb is just as skinny and I'm surprised he's not a dwarf because there has got to be 10 tons of stereotypical femininity weighing him down. He plays his role terribly. It sounds like he and everyone else in the film are reading there lines off of flash cards posted on the walls just out of camera view, at one point I thought I saw one.Paul (Caleb's roommate) played a very chaotic role. It was very apparent that the writer/director didn't know what to do with him. At first he's a plot device to give Caleb a free place to stay, then he's mysterious due to his financial independence and vampire themed house even though he never mentions vampires ever, then he's a romance interest, then he gets quickly killed off without any explanation of why his house had heavy vampire themes, and after his death any curiosity as to where he might be by Caleb is brushed off with "Paul isn't answering his phone I guess he's ignoring me" and no one catches a whisper of him again.By the end I'm almost sad to see Logan (one of Jasin's goons) get killed off. He was the only character who had any substance or development to him. He was a vampire who didn't want to die so he went to extreme measures to ensure his survival. Granted he wasn't a good actor nor anyone else but his parts were slightly not as bad, and he was, dare I say it interesting. Other than that the whole movie was rubbish and I quite literally had to pause at ten minutes intervals and catch a break from the poor quality of the movie budget, acting skill, lack of costume effects (Jasin gets shot and you don't even see a bullet hole in the shirt. Seriously!? The director was so cheap that he couldn't afford to poke a hole in a shirt? Maybe he spent the entire budget to get those two guys to flash there penises for the camera.) Honestly I have never had my willpower challenged so hard to finish a movie before.The movies concept had potential but the only thing vampiric about this film is that it was destined to burn once it saw the light of day.

I liked this movie. It's no dumber than the Twilight movies, and it's lots more fun. Jason Lockhart is actually good, despite the stupid way he has to talk, and there is real, believable chemistry between him and Christian Ferrer, even though Ferrer is not attractive and if Lockhart is gay I'm Ronald Reagan.I don't know what all the reviewers who hated this movie expected, but I expected to hate it and ended up enjoying it a lot. And not because it's bad. To me, movies are NEVER so bad they're good; if they're bad, they're just bad. This one is amateurish and dumb, but it's also sexy and fun. I actually wanted it to be longer.
