Storyline

It's not 1985 anymore...it's 1986, and Chuck Steel is 'the best God damn cop on the force' according to his long suffering boss, Captain Jack Schitt. But even this maverick, renegade, loose cannon, lone wolf, cop on the edge, who doesn't play by the rules has his work cut out when the Governor of LA decides to reduce the licensing hours for clubs and bars triggering a sudden, inexplicable spate of high profile disappearances in the city. The disappearances all have the same thing in common, a crime scene covered in blood but with no sign of the victim. The police are perplexed until they get a break in the case when one of the victims manages to escape. Chuck goes to interview the victim at the hospital but is confronted by a crazed old man who introduces himself as Abraham Van Rental. He warns a disbelieving Chuck that an evil scourge is about to descend on the city of Los Angeles - the scourge of the TRAMPIRES - a mutated hybrid of vampire and tramp.

An exceptional, original, fresh film with an definining 80's style of horror

This film had it US premiere at the worlds top horror film festival Screamfest in Hollywood. I must say I did not know what to expect going into this film. It did look intriguing, but boy was I not prepared for the sure awesomeness of this film. It was an insane non-stop ride to horrorland claymation style. It was raw and very adept to today's current political climate even tho this film was conceived back in 2014 as it took many years to create the worlds and animate the characters depicted in the story. I don't want to give away much of what you will experience. However, rest assured it will blow your mind and open all of your senses to this cinematic experience. This is the work of a creative genius. There is just no other way to describe the experience of watching this film and at no time did it let up. Kudos to the terrific talent involved with this film. You took me back to the 80's with the style and music of the film and brought me right back to current issue perfectly performed by dolls. This is one film you will not soon forget. I could not wait to get home to write the review of this film and share with the world the awe inspiring film that blew everyone who saw this away tonight. I look forward to seeing this film again in a theatre where I hope it will be released widely because it certainly has mass appeal and it most definitely deserves to been consumed for all of its brilliance. This is nothing short of a cinematic achievement, with Best Oscar for animation among other accolades written all over it. I'm also very excited to be the second review here on the imdb page. If you hear about this movie playing in your neck of the woods, do yourself a favor and do not hesitate to seek it out.
