It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

It really is a pointless boring film about a half-hearted naked vampire story full of false tension and a truly terrible screenplay. The violence is really rubbish considering Tom Savini is in it and he created some of the best gore ever. The best that they could manage in this was a bit of blood flying around. Boring and pointless as even the semi-nudity and semi-violence gets boring. Lifeforce (1985) is a better version of this kinda film - that was naked vampires from space and this was naked vampires from England. This is perfect MST3K fodder for its sheer stupidity and unimaginative filmmaking. Awful look, really ugly, shots are repeated. The blacks are crushed too much and the whites far too burnt out. It just looks amateurish and low quality. It felt lazy as if some bits were shot on handycam with night-vision as a easy way out! I think that it is the lighting that makes it look bad. The music does not fit. The sound effects are unconvincing and often distractingly bad. Some of the music is passable. The dialogue is generally clear but sometimes distant to the scene. Some of the worst writing of all time. The acting is dire too. There is no atmosphere and that makes the scares shallow and ineffective. There is never any urgency. Let there be naked vampires. Let them be in a terrible film.

I came across this flick on part of two reasons, first Tom Savini is in it (as a teaser) and a girl I follow, Eleanor James. The director (Johannes Roberts) is also not unknown for me, he directed "F" and "Hellbreeder", two flicks I have seen and reviews are online. But I also have seen that reviews are really bad for this flick and I must say that they were right. It had so much potential to make a good flick but what we have is a flick that's way too dark. And by that I mean that the black level is too much under zero what results in dark holes, it shows in some way that you doesn't have any information in the black parts. On the other hand the sound wasn't that good either, sometimes when they were talking you could understand the boy but the girl was under the level of understanding. And the editing wasn't that good too, the movie evolves very slowly due the editing, scene's do take way too long before we move over to another scene. The script is very simple and every element to make a slasher or horror is in it but simply doesn't work. For example, the cell phones doesn't work, one of the friends go missing (but the friends are never aware of it and never go searching for him), an axe is available but isn't used in a creepy way it's only used off screen. Blood sputters around on faces but in the next shot their faces are clean. A warning is given by a retard (how classic is that) but doesn't fit in the story, he's just in it to say, you all gonna die...Of course there's a heroin in it but you can guess who's she's going to become. It's so sad that nothing works that you even go stretching your arm to pick up the remote control to see the two most important scene's in this flick, I guess the money for effects was used for one effect, the tearing apart and ripping out of the intestines of a victim, secondly the nymphs do walk around naked in a full frontal gratuitous way. On the part of the acting, that was rather mediocre because they were all type-casted as a nerd, the sex maniac looking at the boobs, the macho, the girl always knowing better, ...and doesn't evolve in the movie. The nymphs doesn't say a word and are just in it for their nudity. One of them is Eleanor, again, she's in it for her creepy lookings. It's funny that one of the fallen angels or nymphs is Charlotte Hunter who moved further as a stunt double in Harry Potter. Here she did her first appearance as an actress. It's really Eleanor and Marysia Kay who went further in low budget flicks. The effects used were done very cheaply what shows is that it is a low budget flick. Most of the things are done off-screen, so it's clearly that Tom wasn't involved in the effects, he really was just in it for teasing and selling the movie. There are a few extras on the disc, one is the deleted scene part and it is interesting to see that it was clearly post production that made this flick way to dark in the black level, guess they used color grading wrongly. The deleted scene's were so clear that it made the movie watchable if it was done in that way. One deleted scene contained some nudity and on that part it was strange that they didn't deleted it, I mean, in 2005 when it was shot most people watched flicks on normal televisions but nowadays it's flat screen galore 46" and was I surprised to see Elenaor's pussy in full glory, not that I mind but I guess that they weren't aware of that. To end, it's low on everything except for 5 nude girls walking around with bad teeth. Nothing is explained, what happened to the guy going in the water with the nymphs? I mean between that particular scene and the scene with Tom. Clearly one to see with the boys and have a good laugh about how a horror isn't made.Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 2/5 Effects 1/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5

turning them off before the closing credits start rolling. This was one of those few. I'm sorry I spent the $7.00 buying this movie and may consider either tossing it or using it to shim a kitchen table.The movie opens with a couple making out on the hood of a new Mercedes Benz. Within the first 2 minutes, the "fallen angels" arrive, start making out with the guy who basically walks away from his girl friend. The angels go from beautiful to hideous with no care to how the special effects are done and basically kill the guy.At this point, I'm saying.. "hmm, okay, I'll give it a bit more.. at least up to Savini"The main characters were pathetic and the obnoxious sister was just overly obnoxious to the point of total annoyance.Tom Savini comes in as a crazed homeowner with a house that's prolly 2-3 miles from his mailbox with no driveway.. yeah sure. His acting is terrible (stick to effects, make-up and George Romero cameo's please).The "fallen angels" are played by cute girls, but not angelic looking by any means. Pretty but not gorgeous.Bottom line checklist as to what this movie is lacking:-Background story -Effects -Acting -Budget -ScaresWhat the movie offers:-Total boredomTake your money and your time and watch something, anything else.

This movie is a terrible waste of time. Although it is only an hour and a half long it feels somewhere close to 4. I have never seen a movie move so slowly and so without a purpose. This is also a "horror" film that takes place a lot of the time during daylight. My friend and I laughed an insane amount of times when we were probably supposed to be scared.The only thing we want to know is why such a terrible movie was released in so many countries. It cannot be that high in demand. The supermodel Nicole Petty should stick to modeling because although she is beautiful she lost her accent so many times in this movie, half of the time she is British and half the time she is American.
