To me, this movie is perfection.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

The first must-see film of the year.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I was searching in DVD's store for a good titles to buy something,when l've face a weird one about vampyres,quickly l figure out that it's about Grace Jones's movie from mid 80',the cheapest price and bad cover give me some doubt to take it,after all l bring it and start watching without so much expectation,the picture on running l realize that l did the propper choice,this trash horror is quite amazing piece of art which will be in my mind forever!!!Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6.5

Here are some non-negative points of this movie: 1. Proficient use of colored smoke-filled lighting. Very reminiscent of early MTV. 2. Fabulously cheesy last second gesture by dying vampire. 3. I'm kind of glad to Chris makepeace made more than one movie. Although this one probably put an end to his career. 4. Great 80s fashion and hair. 5. Grace Jones wore some pretty cool body paint. 6. I liked Grace's vampire makeup. Not one of those 'sexy' vampires. Almost as good as Kinski in Nosferatu.7. Can someone explain to me why anyone would leave 3 50 gallon drums of flammable liquid in the lair where you sleep? Was it for their kerosene heaters during the winter? 8. Nice use of wacky 80s Asian stereotype. 9. The performance by the'renfield' type club owner was pretty good. Other than that it just stunk.

This is one I never touched before because it was filed under comedy over here. I don't have any problems with comedy but spoofs aren't my thing when they come out of the US. But I follow the Arrow Video Blu Ray releases so I had to pick it up finally. Men, did I regret it that I didn't pick it up earlier. It is indeed a comedy but it also has a lot to do with horror. The storyline is very simple, two guys have to look for a stripper and go to the wrong one, one filled with vampires, oh yes, it was copied later as From Dusk Till Down. Not amused with American comedy I must say that I did laugh a lot with this flick. So stupid sometimes those guys are. But if you take a closer look then you will see that the director Richard Wenk did know his classics, they way it was filmed with the green and purple colours did remind me of those Italian Dario Argento flicks like for example Suspiria. The fact that Grace Jones is in it gives it another reason to watch. But she doesn't speak here but gives a good performance. Of course it wouldn't be a horror if it doesn't have any vampires and it does. The effects are all well done and the killing of Grace Jones is one to look for. Naturally Richard didn't forget that it was shot at a strip club so now and then there is some nudity. To end, it has a perfect mixture of comedy and horror, and look out for Billy Drago and Dedee Pfeiffer and Robert Rusler, common names in the horror genre.

I remember watching "Vamp" on TV, many years ago. It was the Italian dubbed version of course, and I clearly remember it was impossible to understand what was happening on screen at times, because of a very bad lighting. I found recently the DVD for 2 euros in a street market. Wow! I usually fear the digital re-masters, because sometimes they add too much light to scenes that worked better when you couldn't see much of the low-budget SFX defects! Well, this wasn't the case... This film has an hallucinating, fantastic colouring and the DVD quality do it justice! A dreamlike space (kinda reminded me of Stephen Sayadian's "Dr. Caligari" at times), wonderful in its "very 80s", yet futuristic set designing. Katrina (Grace Jones) is beautiful: erotic as hell, disgustingly scary as well. Vic (Sandy Baron) is just... masterly! The main characters are a bit unoriginal and the plot is a little weak, but there isn't one shot I didn't like in this movie! Maybe all those pink and green lights hypnotized me... that sewer looked comfortable too! I've considered "Vamp" a mediocre horror/comedy film for about 10 years, just because I didn't really SEE this movie and I've been wise to give it a second chance! It is worth watching for its beautiful and creative shooting, setting and... yes, for the 80s college-movie's homour, the fangs, the blood, the make-up and the sexy lap dancers!P.S. Unfortunately (just as for many other Italian DVD versions) my copy of "Vamp" has no English subtitles and the Italian ones are only a bare transcription of the dubbed version... so you're more disoriented by them than helped, whenever you can't get English words or expressions you don't know, or just too far or background talking. Yeah, I hate dubbing...
