5.0 out of 5 stars
I feel sorry for those who watched this on VHS... heh..., June 5, 2002
This review is from: American Vampire (DVD)
The VHS of this movie does not do it justice, and I feel sympathy for those who have not explored the DVD! As you can see from comments circulating about this movie, it IS bad, but most delightfully so! When I first picked out the movie to watch, I had the intention of reviewing a good, bad B movie (does that make sense?). But this BAD bad B movie turned out to be a GREAT bad B movie! I popped in the DVD and for some reason I felt compelled to go to the "special features" and then to "audio" (and this is where the disadvantage of the VHS version kicks in). There, I saw: - "Cat Track" - "The hell is a "cat track???" Well, it is because of this track that I not only have bought the movie on DVD, but have also strongly recommended it to others! This movie was MADE to be hilariously BAD and you'll agree if you just watch even the first 5 minutes using this track! Think Mystery Sience Theater 3000-UNCENSORED!... and you'll get the drift! I have never watched this movie in its original audio format, nor do I ever plan to as that would drop my IQ 100 pts. (But I might as well have since I laughed so hard at times, my brain could have shot out my nose...) So in summary: "Cat Track" audio + Adam West + BAD Cheesy Vampire Movie = Frickin' Hilarious!

Worst...Movie...Ever, March 26, 2001
This review is from: American Vampire (DVD)
I purchased this after seeing several positive reviews for a film called American Vampire and after having a friend recommend it. I had been told that it was a great vampire movie.
Either I was lied to, or there are two movies named "American Vampire" (I checked IMDB...there aren't). Oddly I can't find any of the reviews now, and the friend claims not to remember any such recommendation.
Anyway, this is a terrible movie..plot makes no sense, acting is terrible, even the Adam West cheese factor can't save it. It's barely even a vampire movie...
Save your money for something good.

A SLICE OF SCHLOCK WITH EXTRA CHEESE, July 7, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: American Vampire (DVD)
Though the reviews of this movie have been very harsh, it is obvious that many people have unrealistic expectations regarding this movie. First of all, the film is called American Vampire, not "An American Vampire Story." Secondly, the film was made on a shoestring budget and was designed to be 90 minutes of light-hearted cheese. I think the director did a good job taking a lousy script and low budget and creating a vibe that makes this a cult classic in terms of being endearingly bad. Not quite horror, not quite comedy, and not quite good, but, ah, lots of cheese...enjoy.
