The Reason I Bought It Backfired, August 14, 2007
This review is from: William Shatner's Full Moon Fright Night (DVD)
The reason I bought the DVD is because I am a fan of Vampire Journals, and was also a fan of Shatner's Full Moon Fright Night that ran on Scifi Channel a few years ago. You don't really notice it when you watch it on TV, but the Shatner segments in between the movie becomes annoying and kind of steals the thunder from the film.
I'll give you an example, the movie gets to a climax scene and all of a sudden Shatner's head pops up and comments about the movie with the Big Head at the bar. What he says is funny stuff, but kills the movie since it stops at a big scene, only to be interupted by Shatner jokes. So, if you want to get this movie for the movie, I recommend buying the "Subspecies" box set here that has all four Subspecies movies and Vampire Journals-uncut and without the Shatner scenes. That is the better way to go if you have never seen the movie before.
If you have the movie already, then this is a nice thing to have, Shatner does make some funny comments every ten minutes or so. So, that will become annoying if you are getting into the movie. It's up to you, but know that it does get annoying.

"You're watching Fright Night here on... Sci-Fi.", July 6, 2010
This review is from: William Shatner's Full Moon Fright Night (DVD)
WILLIAM SHATNER'S FULL MOON FRIGHT NIGHT (2002) contains "Vampire Journals," the debut installment of that short-lived SCI-FI channel TV series. Everything that was popular (also annoying) about this long-defunct program is here: blood and bare bosoms, decapitations and dead things, low-grade special effects and high camp host segments.
Without benefit of fadeouts or commercial interruptions, the several "back to our movie" cut-ins seem to pop up like a terminal herpe. Such jarringly bright studio shots contrast poorly against an otherwise dark and forboding story about a lady concert pianist who's under the spell of a pointy-toothed sanguinary slurper.
BTW, how come nobody in these little fables ever notices that the undead guy has a terribly bluish complexion? Ah well.
"And now, back to the William Shatner channel!"
(Bonus feature: Bill interviews comic book legend Stan Lee.)

MUST BE TWILIGHT PREQUEL, July 18, 2010
This review is from: William Shatner's Full Moon Fright Night (DVD)
MUST BE TWILIGHT PREQUEL as both stories contain feuding vampires and bad actors. Why do vampires only go after chicks that look like Denise Richards? Seems to me a fat chick would be easier to bag and would contain a few extra more days of blood. In this movie the bad vampire rips open the girl's top before he bites her neck, whereas the good vampire allows the victim to remove it. I also noticed the bad vampire got to sleep with two topless chicks. They didn't have sex, it was I bite you, you bite me, fake an orgasm then roll over and go to sleep. I guess when you get to be a few hundred years old, women don't expect too much. As far as movie ratings go, if you were to take away the nudity, subtract a star. If you fast forward through Shatner's attempt at humor, add a star.
