I will start out by saying that at least writers Sam Ashurst, Jerome Reygner-Kalfon, Sebastien Semon and Charlie Steeds tried. They failed, but at least they tried.
I sat down to watch director Charlie Steeds's 2020 movie "Vampire Virus", as I do like horror movies, and vampires are iconic screen monsters, so of course there was some appeal to this movie.
Turns out that I might as well have skipped on "Vampire Virus", because the storyline was just so mundane and bordering on being pointless that it was somewhat of a struggle to sit through the entire movie. I did manage to do so, though I can't really claim that I was particularly entertained by what this movie delivered.
The acting in the movie was adequate, although you should not expect to be blown away by any overly impressive accomplishments. I didn't recognize a single actor or actress in the movie. It should be said, though, that their acting performances are severely hindered by a total lack of proper script and storyline, and the fact that the written characters in the movie were so boring and devoid of characteristics, didn't really do much to put the performers in a good light.
For a vampire movie, then "Vampire Virus" was just a swing and a miss. The movie came and went without as much as a bite or a hiss. If you haven't heard of this movie, don't worry, you're not missing out on a great moment in vampire cinema.
I am still trying to figure out how a movie like "Vampire Virus" with a total lack of a proper script and storyline even makes it through production.
And before I forget, I have to mention the vampire teeth on the vampires in the movie. Wow. Just wow. Are you kidding me? Those were seriously the worst prosthetics that I have ever seen in vampire movies. It was so bad that it looked even worse than the plastic teeth you can buy for kids in stores around Halloween time.
My rating of "Vampire Virus" is a mere two out of ten stars. You might want to skip on this movie entirely, because it is a waste of time, money and effort. If you enjoy vampire movies, there are many other and better choices of movies to pick from.
