All batty with no bite., 16 April 2008

Author: tyler-and-jack from Edinburgh.

Where to begin with a review of this entertainingly bad movie? Talisa "a lesson to Bond girls everywhere" Soto plays the titular character, a vamp woman who travels from her home planet of Drakulon to pursue and kill Vlad (played by Roger Daltrey). Vlad has hidden himself on Earth for many centuries after he killed a load of nice Drakulon vamps and then fled to safety. Talisa Soto wanders around in a pleasingly skimpy, red leather outfit, Roger Daltrey swishes a cape every now and again and acts hammier than a ham sandwich in Hampshire being eaten by Hammy The Hamster. Everyone has fangs that look like those plastic, joke-shop fangs and the acting is almost uniformly terrible.

Then we have a modern-day Van Helsing, heading up a team so useless that they can't find a "hidden" Vlad while he struts his stuff in Vegas under the stage name "Jamie Blood" - good grief, how many more clues do they need? Bad effects, a terrible script and, to be completely shallow for a moment, not enough gratuitous nudity for this type of drek means that it's a hard slog to get to the end. However, watch this and laugh AT it and you may have as much fun as I did.

Horror fans may also be easily pleased by the cameo appearances from Angus "The Tall Man" Scrimm and, bizarrely enough, John Landis but that's about as good as things get. One to avoid until you are in the right (intoxicated?) frame of mind.

See this if you like: Talisa Soto, the Dracula musical featured in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
