Very best movie i ever watch
Too much of everything
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
This one is the lowest common denominator. A group of American students with a collective IQ of 70 travel to Romania where they encounter - obviously not drug dealers. How does one describe this piece of celluloid trash? Well, the era of celluloid has gone, but how about "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" meets "Mad" magazine?A feisty lady vampire hunter, an evil dwarf and his hunchback daughter, confusion, mayhem, over-acted, over-scripted, obviously everybody speaks English, gags that make you want to gag, and obscure cultural references. Surprisingly, it works, although doubtless some politically correct moron will find something in it at which to take umbrage.Then there is the "Codex Eroticon"; okay, it may be five years since this film was released, but don't be too surprised if at some point in the future a book with this title is actually published.
Yea. Yea. Yea. This is not everyone's cup of Joe but there is redeeming quality here. The actors are committed to the far-out gags, characters and the well laid out storyline. No one is winning awards and I don't care.I wanted to laugh at some silliness in the vampire genre and that's what this is -- that's all. A splash of ta-tas, nice sword fighting, babe in leather (who should have her own TV show) and the look-a-like mistaken identify angle which is always worth a laugh or two.The mad scientist/Dean sub-plot fit perfectly into a main story that went balls-out for comic bits, some worked, some didn't. So what? Pop some corn, kick back and laugh at the broad but consistent spoof before you.Cheers!
Even though the reviews may have been not so good. I thought this movie was really funny and I enjoyed it. There was actually a plot which a lot of comedy spoof movies don't have. Although you haven't seen the actors in much, i thought they all did a really good job. I think the story was cute and i most surely did laugh!! I recommend it to all. It is a shame to see reviewers writing bad reviews. Who believes them anyway. I know that more then half the time I read what they say I don't agree. Its not fair for them to spoil a movie for others, especially a funny one. I think that if people would just give some things a chance, or an independent production company, they would not be mad they spent their money on the movie. Just because there isn't a huge distributors name attached doesn't mean the movie isn't good for what it is. I heard that it isn't going to be in theaters much after the first week and thats really sad because if people would see it they would really enjoy it I think.
The only reason I was even slightly expecting to like Transylmania is because it was supposed to be like the Dorm Daze films according to some people who got an advanced screening that I had a conversation with. I have read increasingly negative reviews online and I am not surprised. These are professional critics doing the talking, and while I aspire to become a professional film critic as well, I would see film critics of a professional nature admitting that they like this film. The film is essentially a spoof on vampire films, a film genre I was long getting tired of. The thing that is really going to bake your noodle is that unlike most spoofs these days, this one has a plot and follows it and is constantly funny. After watching this, I saw another direct-to-DVD spoof called Stan Helsing. Stan Helsing is also a spoof on horror films, not the vampire films, but horror films. Stan Helsing also has a plot and is consistently funny. I am not shocked that both these films have been getting overwhelmingly appalled reviews online. Both these films are of a genre that is known to have bad film written all over it. Transylmania is one of those films where the idea was dead when it was written, but somehow the execution is more than funny enough to make the movie worth seeing. Transylmania is a film people should see when they want to let their brain take an hour and a half off and just laugh continuously.
