Very Uneven, September 16, 2002
This review is from: Sergio Lapel's: Drawing Blood (DVD)
The beginning of this film is amazing. The first scenes create the impression that this will be the best and most original vampire movie since Near Dark, and the direction during these scenes is excellent. It is almost like a low-budget cross between David Lynch and David Fincher, especially with its sound design (lots of drones). Unfortunately, what starts out as an excellent film which manages to be equal parts serious drama and black comedy quickly loses all of its steam as soon as the vampire's slave decides he's had enough and is going to quit. After that the directing style actually becomes weaker and at times silly, as does the comedy, and the drama almost completely disappears. There are a few moments throughout the film, especially the scenes with the old man Marvin, who is always funny, which make it bearable to sit through to the end, but ultimately the last two-thirds are just a weak, low-budget vampire film with some comedy.

Stay away...stay very far away, September 15, 2002
This review is from: Sergio Lapel's: Drawing Blood (DVD)
This movie does not rock; this isn't even what one might call a movie. Bad, awful....Troma. The scariest thing about this flick was buying and enduing it's full running time. Did I say run....yes, run away--to another galaxy--anywhere this horrendous thing does not exist. Bye the by, I can't recommend this.

Bloody Good, July 28, 2000

If you like a bit of gore, a little hoaky stuff and a wacky story line, you'll love this movie. Bare bodies are bouncing around all over the place. Good work for a low budget film. The brief role of the mother is outstanding and very scary. She has such depth and sincerity. It will be difficult to keep a dry eye. She felt this part from the tip of her toes to the end of her teeth. I know. I was right there with her!
