1.0 out of 5 stars
horrible acting horrible effects horrible horrible horrible, July 5, 2008
This review is from: Night Fangs (DVD)
I saw this movie once, even though I didn't want to watch it for more than 5 minutes. If I could have given this piece of crap less than one star I would have....The acting was unbelievably horrid, the people were all ugly, and it was a sad excuse to show women's genitals. (I mean, really, where were the men vampires???) This movie was laughable at best, and that is the nicest thing I can possibly say. I hope the actors find other methods of making money because their futures in film appear very bleak. Why has this crap received any good reviews???? This movie just proved to me that low budget "horror" films are anything but scary

So-so horror film, but some really nice eroticism!, February 14, 2006
This review is from: Night Fangs (DVD)
This film was only mildly scary, but it also included a very erotic woman-to-woman seduction scene that I found incredibly hot!
The whole vampire thing has been repeatedly done already, but if that's your thing this one even included a few fairly decent attacks by the undead. But that wasn't what caught my attention.
The scene I remember most happened when one of the two older lesbian women seeking a virgin asks one of her students to remain late after class. Under the guise of helping the girl to create a clay sculpture, she ends up slowly seducing the girl instead. It was one of the more creative & erotic lesbian seduction scenes I've witnessed on video. The women involved didn't look like porn stars, either. I just thought it was surprisingly hot, and definitely worth checking out!
Sadly, the seduction ends abruptly when the teacher's lesbian partner moves in to murder the girl so they can bathe in her blood. Still, I give the director high marks for an incredibly sensual and arousing girl/girl seduction scene!

Has its share of problems but features a terrific vampire feeding scene, August 6, 2006
This review is from: Night Fangs (DVD)
I wanted to see this movie because of its tie-in to Elizabeth Bathory, one of the most infamous mass murderers in history. According to legend, this 16th century Hungarian countess killed hundreds if not thousands of young women, bathing in their blood in an effort to retain her youth and beauty. In this film, two female lovers somehow get their hands on Elizabeth's diary and attempt to follow her prescription for eternal life. Now, let's just pause for a minute here. Elizabeth Bathory died - after being bricked up inside a room of her own castle for four years. Either this whole virgin blood bath thing needs to be an ongoing thing, or she didn't really figure out the secret of eternal life after all. The important thing, though, is that our two main characters want to follow in her bloody footsteps - and just seem to assume that will mean becoming vampires.
Call me old fashioned, but I prefer my erotic naked lesbian vampires to be young and attractive. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but that whole erotic thing falls apart when one of the lesbians happens to be older, heavier, and far less attractive than you're expecting. Now I can work with Lupe (Cyn Dulay) but Jennifer Sommers (Leslie Frank) just isn't what I'm looking for in a film like this. Put Misty Mundae in that role, and Night Fangs would be in business - and the big erotic seduction scene with a student sculptor (Amy Gonzalez), not to mention the bathtub wrestling scene, would have actually been erotic. Miss Sommers, Amy's teacher, pretty much has the hots for the talented young lass, but Lupe just can't wait to start bathing in Amy's virgin blood. Pretty soon, a fight breaks out when Lupe proposes to test their vampirehood by killing Jennifer to see if she will come back to life, and the best-laid plans of mice and lesbian vampires basically just fall apart altogether. Luckily for us, Amy's annoying boyfriend and his pals show up looking for Amy, providing fresh meat for what becomes a growing number of vampires. Even a local history professor, regretting the day he ever mentioned Vlad Tepes in class, ends up joining in the bloody fun.
On the whole, this is not a good vampire movie. The plot hangs together like loose skin on a 150-year-old man, the acting ranges from OK to the embarrassingly abysmal, I swear one particular severed body part somehow moves from one house to another for no apparent reason, and - as I already mentioned - the cast is woefully short of hot vampire babes. Then, out of nowhere, we get one of the best, goriest, vampire feeding scenes I've ever seen. There's plenty of gore to go around as the film works its way to a conclusion, and the special effects are, for the most part, slightly above average, but I just keep coming back to that one scene. It is just bloody fantastic and, in my opinion, single-handedly makes this film worth watching.
Night Fangs is pretty much Ricardo Islas' baby. Dubbed "the John Carpenter of Uruguay," he not only wrote, directed, and produced this film, he also assumed the role of the history professor turned vampire killer. I should point out that the film is in the English language, so you don't have to worry about subtitles or bad dubbing. When you really step back and take a look at Night Fangs, it's really not a very good movie, but I think it does have the potential to become something of a cult hit. It's reasonably gory, and that vampire feeding scene I mentioned is pretty dadgummed awesome, in my opinion. If some of these people could act, I would have given the film four stars.
