1.0 out of 5 stars
This shouldnt even have one star..., August 24, 2005
This review is from: Vampire Sisters (DVD)
There's a difference between making a home movie and making a horror film. It seems the director may have forgotten this small detail as he had one of the vampire sisters spitting out all the blood she drank while showering (Why didnt she just swallow it instead of sensually bathing and letting it drip out of her mouth?) which was obviously cough syrup. This is not a serious movie. In fact, its a fine line between b porn and c movies. If you want to be teased and not see sex, and if you want to be lead on into thinking something could ever result from the poor acting and terrible story, dont see this. If you want a good laugh, please see it.

Vampire Bore!!, March 13, 2007
This review is from: Vampire Sisters (DVD)
Another bad film with bad acting bad effects and just a bad plot. There not much here accept some nudity. Three vampire sisters lure men into there house through their sex web sight. Then of course eat suck their blood, how original. Then a cop gets on their tale and you know the rest of the story. A real bore fest. I bought this one and Vampire sisters 2. Both stunk. I will give Vampire Sisters 2 this it had a lot more nudity other than that these movies offer nothing new or cool. Bad film making at it's best.

"Every Time There's A Victim, There's A Drop Cloth." - Joe Ripple, Director, April 13, 2011
This review is from: Vampire Sisters (DVD)
"Vampire Sisters" is a terrible horror film made quickly and cheaply in Director Joe Ripple's house. The film is the brainchild of the team of Ripple and the late Don Dohler, the master of extremely low-budget filmmaking, famous in B-movie circles for such films as "The Alien Factor." Some of Dohler's films are entertaining for their camp value, but "Vampire Sisters" is not one of them. Dohler produced and wrote this one while Ripple took the directorial duties. Dohler was a soft-spoken man, and at one point took a long sabbatical from movies; this was made after his time off, and the pause for reflection didn't help in this case.
The plot is actually pretty creative: three sisters who happen to be vampires set up a sultry website to lure victims to their house. This process works well until finally a couple (Mark C. Lassise and Leanna Chamish) take on the sisters. Along the way Dohler fans will recognize one victim as George Stover, who has, I believe, been in every Dohler film ever made. While the basic premise of the Internet being used for evil is great, it's largely wasted with a lame script, terrible acting, and pitiful special effects. The drill to Ripple's eye came off satisfactorily, but the remainder of the effects were laughable, especially the enormously long CGI tongue that was featured extensively in the "Making of" short. The film has lots of padding, and the pace is plodding. (Vampire scrapbooking, anyone?) Another issue for me was that I didn't find the three principal characters especially attractive, which was somewhat key given the plot. The best looking cast member was Chamish, who would have better served as one of the sisters. I was amused at the fight scenes between the sisters and Lassise which was a strictly fangs versus mop handle affair (don't ask,) which took us to the ultimate conclusion of the film. Other distractions also abound: a character living in the shed is alluded to throughout the film, but only in the closing scenes do we discover that it is Iggy (Steven "Proz" Prosser,) the dimwitted but protective brother of the vampires.
The closing credits of this film are the most grotesque part of the entire movie. They feature George Stover preparing for his date by trimming his eyebrows and nose hair and flossing to the rhythm of sexy music. This might make you laugh, but it also might make you want to gouge your eyes out, so exercise extreme caution. The rhythmic nose hair extraction does highlight a bigger issue with the film, namely its lack of focus. It never was clear what the film was setting out to do: was it strictly horror? Comedy? Satire? None of the above? Only after watching the commentary with Dohler and Ripple were the filmmaker's visions clear. The film is really worth one star (at best) but I gave it two because the commentary track is more interesting than the film itself, a common trend with Dohler. I really like and appreciate Dohler's vision to make independent films with a tiny budget, and from what I know of him, he seemed like a genuinely kind and good guy, and it shows in the extras. While I don't recommend this film to most people, fans of ultra-cheap independent video might find this of interest, and certainly Dohler aficionados will find it worthwhile, mostly for the commentary.
