Editorial Reviews

GRACE JONES STARS IN THE SEXIEST HORROR COMEDY OF THE '80s A group of fraternity pledges head for the seedy side of the city in search of strippers and discover a sinister spot called The After Dark Club. But when the bar's luscious dancers turn out to be bloodthirsty vampires led by the kinky Katrina (GRACE JONES), the evening takes on a freaky new twist. Can these guys survive a bizarre onslaught of vixens and vamps, or will the armies of the undead take the ultimate bite out of their night? CHRIS MAKEPEACE (MEATBALLS), ROBERT RUSLER (WEIRD SCIENCE), GEDDE WATANABE (SIXTEEN CANDLES) and DEDEE PFEIFFER co-star in this outrageously sexy horror comedy that features wild makeup effects by Oscar®-winner GREG CANNOM (DRACULA, THE MASK). Includes a 4 Page Collector's Booklet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vamps and Tramps! Great DVD!, October 19, 2001
By 
Brett D. Cullum (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Vamp (DVD)
This is an example of a GREAT job by Anchor Bay in packaging a cult film, and loading it with extras as well as a very good transfer. The blooper reel offers some deleted scenes, the rehearsal footage is hilarious (Grace Jones attacking the director!), and the commentary on the DVD is funny and engaging.

The movie itself is an 80s horror-comedy modeled almost slavishly on AFTER HOURS. The premise is two college buddies end up trying to find a stripper for a frat party, but somehow end up in a weird alternate reality where vampires prey on the homeless and hapless. Grace Jones has no lines as the titular role and first-billed and maybe 8 minutes screen-time total! But what a great vampire, and she does make her scenes pop off the screen without saying a word. DeeDee Pfiefer (yes, sister of Michelle) plays Amaretto ("not my real name") with a wide eyed glee that counters perfectly the darkness around her. And Chris Makepeace and Robert Rusler play chums caught in the TWILIGHT ZONE that is the world of VAMP. Add in a comedic turn by Geddy Watanabe (of 16 CANDLES FAME - Long Duck Dong), and you've got a game cast to do a dark comedy!

A good movie gets royal DVD treatment. Snap it up before it's gone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Seduction Surrender..., January 6, 2003
By 
"gracebones" (Beautiful, Hawai'i) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vamp (DVD)
VAMP is not meant to be serious, so don't even bother taking it there. It's meant to be exactly what it is, an insane vampire comedy. ...

Anyway, I've loved this film ever since I was a wee girl (about 4 years old). I had a very hard time finding a VHS copy of the film and never found one(all I had was a Beta copy). Then finally I got a DVD player and my very first DVD, Vamp! The DVD is SUPERB all around. The special features, the transfer, and the sound. The movie is just lovely. The actors are cute and funny and charming. Especially the late Sandy Baron, Dee Dee, Gedde, and Chris. The commentary track is hilarious. It's ALL good. It was also great to finally see it in widescreen for the first time (my eyes).

Last, but surely not least: Grace Jones... She is fabulous!!! Her seductive strip dance is to die for.... Grace Jones is a beautiful and wonderful Goddess! And maybe a bit scary, just a lil' bit (or always).

Seriously though, I assure you this movie will grow on you and you'll just adore it, if not... Grace Jones will lunge at you stiletto's first! BUY THIS MOVIE NOW!!! *HISSSSSSSSSS*

5.0 out of 5 stars Campy, trampy and vampy, July 12, 2002
By 
Mickey Buell (Dallas, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Vamp (DVD)
I will admit that this is not the best movie ever made, but it certainly is my favorite. Grace Jones always looks like she would rip your skin off with her teeth, bit by bit.

The first thing you notice is how surreal the background gets after dark. I love the humor in this movie. I think this movie should be rated as the best cult film ever. The lines are delivered with comic expertise. For anyone who loves vampire movies as much as I do, you will love this movie. Not a scary movie for the squeemish, but extremely entertaining. Once it gets dark, beware. Snow and his followers will get you, if the vampires in the club don't.

My favorite line in the movie (it was hard to choose) is the one that A. J. delivers when he says, "formica, go figure". If you see the movie, then you will understand the meaning of that line. Another great line was when the little rich friend asks one of the waitresses what time she gets off. She states in a very husky voice, "3:30". He then says, "can I watch?"

Lots of tongue in cheek, and even a bit of romance towards the end. This is a fun movie for people who don't take vampires seriously.
