For fans of campy cult movies, this is a godsend. Toni Basil as a horny vampire mom! Thomas Dolby as a vampire-hunting coffin salesman! Bo Diddley as himself! Not to mention the simple fact that this is an 80's rock Vampire Musical!

Oh, man . . . no one would confuse this with a good movie, but you can laught at it and with it. The filmmakers were obviously going for cheese, and they hit it right on the money. Dean Cameron (with his eyebrows in a supporting role) plays a sensitive vampire who's cursed to fall in love with a girl once every century, only to have a peglegged pirate beat her to death with a hambone every time. Can he break the curse this time? Can he become the world's first rock 'n' roll 'n' rap vampire?

So much to love here. The songs, first and foremost: elaborate production numbers of howlingly so-bad-they're-good 80's tunes and even some that were *meant* to be funny and are. Cameron's wise-cracking mirror reflection, who may be the ghost of Elvis. Cameron's bat transformation -- a two-foot tall, flatulent goblin.

I could go on and on. If you're looking for Citizen Kane or Schindler's List, keep looking. But if you like Rocky Horror, Spinal Tap, and the like, snap this one up.

Great fun-time movie with a (repeatedly) doomed love affair between an long-lived vampire and his perpetually reincarnated girl friend.

Can Rockula break the never-ending lost-love loop and find true love?

Turn the stereo up, get the popcorn ready, and start smiling.

Uh-huh-huh.

I belive Rockula is probly one of the best 80s movies I would put it up there with pretty in pink and st elmos fire Dean camron also did another movie called ski patrol and its sequal how ever the soundtrack is nonexistant the company that put out the movie went under it was bought out but the soundtrack was thrown out So in short for thoughs that miss the 80s and dream of returning or for thoughs that only dream of the 80s this movie is for you It also has toni Basil (And shes not a bad looking woman even now)

I loved everything about this film, my only problem is that it's not on DVD yet and I live in Ireland so an american video is no good to me. Can anyone help me to convince the makers that it's time for this classic to hit the DVD shelves.

This film is one of my favorite films of all time. It stands, with the exception of Ski School, and Summer School, as the ultimate party movie! (You'll notice I'm a big Dean Cameron fan)Sure the film is a bit cheesy, but the music alone is worth the time. Dean Cameron is hysterical! "There's a party in my pants would you like to take a gander?.." If you like goofy movies, then this is the movie for you.

Someone really needs to put this movie onto DVD. Rockula is a really funny 80's classic. It ranks right up there will Teen Witch as one of the campiest movies of the decade. This movie has all that goofy, cheesy charm that we've come to expect from 80's comedy. This movie is so bad that it is good! I just love it.

short and to the point i must have this movie on dvd.
please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

someone taped this movie for my dad a long time ago. that was the only video he ever owned. when our upstairs neighbors would disconnect our cable to hook it up their t.v., my dad and i were left with no choice but this. sure it's fluff, but it's good fluff, and the soundtrack is first rate. we never got tired of "rockula"

I thought Rockula was the cutest and funniest love story, Vampire spoof. It puts a little un-proffessionalism into Bo Diddle and shows how Vampires can be good.

The best spoof vampire movie ever made!
