Lesbian Vampire Killers

"The Killers of Lesbian Vampires" is a film that had the potential, but it couldn't utilize it even a bit, so it settled for attempting to be funny, attempting to be action-packed, attempting to be a little bit perverted. However, everything is just a little bit and none of it is brought to a point where one could truly speak of a meaningful film that offers something extra. Even the humor is not extra here."

A film with such a title could be either first-rate grindhouse fun or a smart parody full of dry British humour, but alas… Lesbian Vampire Killers is a lot closer to silly teenage comedies where one of the funniest things is a sword with a phallic handle. I refuse to give a higher rating to a film like this on principle, not that this one deserves more than two stars anyway. (27/05/2009)

The title makes it seem like a good bit of stupidity and movie fans expect something twisted, so the initial expectations are low and the film's creators ultimately benefit from that. In the end, it really is stupid, but since the disappointment factor doesn't work here and the audience is tuned to the humor, they can forgive Claydon and his gang for many things. The film actually feels like there were bigger ambitions and the director probably wanted to make something similar to Zombieland or Dawn of the Dead, but he lacked the talent, a higher budget, quality actors, and ultimately even a screenplay. Especially the female part of the ensemble represents more suffering from an acting perspective, which, however, is compensated by their looks. In the end, it could have been quite a decent soft porn, if the crew wanted to and pushed in that direction a little more. The film obviously targets a teenage audience and perhaps they could add one more star to their reviews. On the other hand, those who consider themselves intellectuals can watch this at their own risk. Overall impression: 25%. (08/03/2011)

A good comedy in the style of the unsurpassed Shaun of the Dead. Those who didn't find the aforementioned film to their liking probably won't be satisfied in this case either, but I had fun and was glad to see that finally a parody of the horror genre was made again that isn't Tarantino-Rodriguez grind-house, full of grossness, unnecessarily exposed female and male body parts, and stupid characters. Lesbian Vampire Killers is often hilariously funny (the first disposal with an axe, the vicar and his scenes with Fletch), but it never slips into fecal or any other kind of disgusting humor, thanks to its pleasant length it never get boring, the main characters are likeable, one girl is prettier than the next... And the direction is imaginative and knows that timing is not a dirty word. Four pure stars (and a little bit of a fifth for the last shot).__P.S. Debbie Wiseman's music is better than anything Danny Elfman has written since Sleepy Hollow (never mind that she rips it off a bit). (22/01/2012)
