2.0 out of 5 stars Apple Pie Meets Vampires, Sophomoric Junk, May 2, 2010

This review is from: Transylmania (DVD)

This movie is nothing more than a pitiful reimagination of the Apple Pie series in a vampire milieu. Please understand, though, I'm a 34 y/o guy with a tremendous appreciation for the comic/horror hybrid genre and am very easily prone to guilty pleasure, B quality movies. However, I've since moved on from my fraternity days and am no longer prone to being suckered by the constant barrage of zit cream commercials, despite the all so zingy endorsements by Jessica Simpson. That said, I'm sick of sophomoric humor - films with a cast all of whom you're shocked survived birth, let alone puberty, and puerile jokes that are nothing more than cheap potty jokes. Good comedy, even that that revolves around ribald unmentionables, is good insofar as it relates to the story and reinforces it. This movie is not that. Its the standard grab bag of stupid comedy elements, each of which stands relatively alone and in no connection with the story. There's the hot internet girl who happens to have a big hunchback, then her father, who happens to be a midget who speaks like a chipmunk. Why? It adds nothing more than an immediate shock laugh that just drones on and on meaninglessly as the story devolves into nothingness. That all said, if you're a fan of sophomoric humor, and i get it - there's a huge market for this - you're likely to enjoy this movie. If you're not, and, like me, was thinking this could be a fun experience in the comic/horror genre, run away.

1.0 out of 5 stars a ghastly attempt at horror movie parody, September 7, 2010

*1/2

If studios could do product recalls, the witless and inept "Transylmania" would be high on the list of returnable merchandise. This truly pathetic stab at horror movie comedy involves a group of brainless college students from America who enroll in a summer school session held in a vampire-infested castle in Romania.

The incoherent storyline is matched by the amateurish acting and low-grade humor, which frequently reaches back - badly - to old Marx Brothers and "I Love Lucy" routines for laughs.

Actually, the movie has seemingly saved all its clever and funny parts for an epilogue that runs all of six minutes. If the other ninety had been half as good, we might have had something here. But, any way you slice it, "True Blood" this ain't.

2.0 out of 5 stars Transylmania - DVD, July 26, 2010

By 

Buffdaddy Bill (Oakdale, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Transylmania (DVD)

Directed by: David Hillenbrand and Scott Hillenbrand
Starring: Patrick Cavanaugh, James DeBello
Running time: 92 min. Unrated - 2009

How would one describe the movie "Transylmania"? It feels like a cross between "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and one of the many bad sequels to "American Pie." A group of students go to Romania to study abroad as vampire chaos ensues. This movie had its moments as the stoner characters were pretty funny but that's about it. The movie had a lot going on but nothing of any real substance, even for film of this genre.

Don't bother.
