Way of the Vampire (2005)

This is How Movies Should Be Made

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Without a doubt, there are reviews on here from the filmmakers or friends. Or maybe just backyard filmmakers who feel they need to cut some slack. This is soooo bad it looks like it was made in the back yard with a consumer camcorder. On camera mics used, lighting, script, editing, directing, etc - All 100% armature. This is not a B movie. Its a Z movie. The actors are not actors. They cant even think they are. I've seen shorts made by groups of friends goofing around with 10 times the film-making skills. Nobody on this project had the slightest clue what they were doing. Well, maybe the food was good, I can speak on that. Its beyond description. If its on TV, watch 10 minutes. You will find it hard to turn away its so poorly done.Some quotes in reviews that are just absurd:"Has potential" - No, it doesn't. With this group of filmmakers, it has no potential"Good cinematography" - PLEASE, they didn't even use white balance before shooting. Not only is it not good cinematography, the guy doesn't even know how to use a camera! "there was some halfway decent blood and gore here" - No, the effects and blood were equal to a childs Halloween costume. Here's a quote that is bang on: "So Incredibly bad it's beyond description !!!," Its true. We read so many times how bad a movie is we get desensitized to the expression. This IS really that bad.A first for me, but I need the option to vote zero. 1 is much too high

I only spent a dollar on this movie. Jesus this thing wasn't even worth that, if I had seen this movie for free I would still feel violated, and if I had been paid to see it, the money would not have been enough.Below is my vent as I just endured this movie and I need to let it all out First of all, the holy water in her neck jugular??? WTF. And he's all "wow, you are such a genius, no one would ever think hey, holy water hurts them, they bite necks, maybe if i somehow drink this holy water and absurd it into my neck area I can kill them." Stupid, very stupid element of the film and that last line "or maybe a princess" or something of that effect, I nearly cried. That made even the holy water and wasp and training scenes seem well thought out and deserving of an Oscar.Who wrote this movie, were they in Kindergarten, but of course six year-olds are so much more intelligent than the team behind this crap, and actually have imaginations and could probably write better material, so I take that back, that is an insult to compare kindergarten children to the inbred morons who wrote this movie.None of the actors in this movie could act, it all felt very very daytime drama or school play. But of course the director must take some of the responsibility for that as well. The action scenes were embarrassing and the effects were crude and ugly, primitive, extremely half arced, just like every single element of this film.The sound effects were pathetic, that's all I will say on the matter. So moving on..The Vampires in this movie should not even be classed as that, they are degrading the entire world of fiction and it is an insult for them to be named as the likes of Lestat, Vlad deMagpyr or Bela Lugosi's classic Dracula. These are suave, charismatic, alluring, elegant and beautiful beings (but also a bit evil) the creatures shown in this movie were boring, stupid, abysmal and unoriginal.*end rant* I do really feel a lot better.Do yourselves a favour, stay away from this movie. It is not worth a single moment of your time. Go to the video store and re rent Interview with a Vampire, Underworld or the Buffy TV series instead.

the acting is horrible. it looks and sounds as if it was filmed on a home video camera the background audio overpowers the voices throughout the whole movie. the sound effects have been repeated over and over, it seems everyone has the same scream the actor who played hell-sing cant even pronounce Nosferatu, he says "nosterfartu" how can the people that edited miss something so obvious, maybe they were too caught up in trying to make people disappear by stopping the camera, getting the actor to move out of screen then starting it again. the visual effects could be done better on a high school editing suite. action scenes are just a disorienting confusion of flashes of the weapons closeup of the actors, the story line.... pathetic

Was cruising through Wal-Mart with the wife when we spotted this movie for $6.88 in a discount bin. The wife will watch anything with vampires in it so I checked out the box. The cover was pretty damn good at first glance. A guy in a leather trench-coat holding a triple shot crossbow and some kind of futuristic gun with a bat flying overhead looking like it was morphing. I flipped the box over and noticed it was made by The Asylum...uh oh...first sign of trouble. I had unknowingly bought a few movies by them a while back and 3/4 of them I was NOT impressed by them. (The Scarecrow series and War Of The Worlds being the exceptions) I went ahead and read the synopsis and I was impressed. It actually sounded good...Van Helsing..Dracula...Time Travel..hmmmmmm.We got home and popped it in. Man, I couldn't have been more wrong. I really got to learn to trust my instincts. Not even 10 minutes into it I just wanted to cry. You couldn't hear a word being said at all, the acting was sub-par at best, the lighting was just atrocious, and worst of all...when I could hear the actors (yeah right) they sounded like they were talking around a wad of cotton. The teeth appliances they had to use were just wrong. If you look closely you can see it bulge out the lips and cheeks of the wearers.The overall movie looks like it was shot and edited by Ed Wood. In almost every scene I could spot mistakes, goofs, continuity mistakes, you name it. I just watched it again to get a laugh from it.With all that being said I will say this... The plot isn't bad at all even though it was slightly predictable. If done right and a lot more attention paid to the details it would make a damn good movie. This just isn't the movie.
