i'm familiar with the area in which it was shot, and the film really captured the haunting essence of the hudson valley region. and how many low budget horror movies allow the storyline to meander and not take you where you expect to go? it's not another nameless 80s horror film that involves 30 year-olds playing teenagers who get slaughtered at a haunted house, all while making out.

this film was shot for almost nothing. the acting is a little campy, but that's just a circumstance of low budget filmmaking. look at john waters' early movies; you can get beyond that. if you want a spiffy vamire movie then rent something starring tom cruise. but if you appreciate all levels of filmmaking, i think this one is worth the 80 minutes and the several dollars it costs for an out of print vhs. i'd also like to add, cause i see this often with lesser known movie reviews that seem to play devil's advocate, i'm not like the brother of the star or in any way connected to this movie other than having seen it. you know, it just sucks when you get the impression that a review was written by the camera operator or something.

This is a horrible stupid movie which I bought after reading the previous reviews. If you buy it for the erotica, or vampire scenes, there's none, so forget it.

I wept, I laughed, I cheered. Congrats to Hallenbeck on a truly inspirational interpretation of the original film. P.S. Topless is as topless does.

It's great to see Bruce Hallenbecks work getting some national attention here (and distribution). You won't be disappointed by this film. A crafty reincarnation of the original, the camera work is impressive. And, Saratoga Springs resident, Elizabeth Carstens, turns in a very sexy, seductive performance as the mythical leader of the vampires, going topless and more writhing on the ground in a nude scene with one of the hapless villagers. Although a non-speaking role, she has an amazing body!!!...Bravo

My daddy says that if all you buy a movie for is to see some lady take her clothes off then you need help. I saw this movie and even though you do see some naughty things I thought it was real good. Anybody who wants to see dirty stuff can go to the video store and go into the bad room where all the bad movies are. My mom thinks that people who go in there will all to to hell. I guess I think that way too. Anyway, I guess all I want to say is that the movie Vampyre is real good. Bambi G.

Topless women, toothy men... ah the joy of a little afternoon fangfest! Great job!
