Purely Joyful Movie!
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
... View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
... View MoreDon't get me wrong - I didn't go into this expecting Citizen Kane but as a fan of Hammer films and Matt Horne in The Catherine Tate Show and Gavin and Stacey, I expected more than this complete tripe.If you find "gags" about "bumming", "ponces" and "hot d+kes" amusing then you won't be disappointed. It's full of them.The film's really got nothing to commend it - if you don't like James Corden, this won't be the film to change your mind. He basically reprises his role as Smithy in Gavin and Stacey - right down to the robotic dancing. Matt Horne does slightly better with terrible material to work with and the less said about the vampires the better. They won't be getting into RADA based on these performances and accents.The script writers seem to be under the impression that sticking a swearword into a line of dialogue somehow makes it amusing. It doesn't.So, don't waste 80 minutes of your life!
... View MoreDid not see the word "Lesbian" in the title on teeny iPod. When I saw this during opening credits I thought "I'll give it 5 minutes" Sure glad I did. If you liked this watch Reaper, similar humor. Better or just as good as Shawn of the dead. Some very well written jokes and great timing by the larger male actor. Of course the lesbian vampires were over the top - they are making fun of the genre after all but the other dialogue and actors keep this fun without being stupid. I am a 40+ female who has always enjoyed the horror genre and those of you who like same know it's hard to find good horror movies. So this isn't scary but great horror comedy fun! There is so much crap out there I am not sure how this got such a low rating - must be the wrong crowd watching!
... View MoreOf all the lame movies made by the British film industry in the past decade, LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS stands as the worst of the lot. It's a godawful wannabe comedy-horror hybrid, even worse than that film Neil Morrissey made called I BOUGHT A VAMPIRE MOTORCYCLE. Some fans of James Corden and Mathew Horne – if there are any – may get a few more chuckles out of it than I did, but I think even those with the most forgiving of temperaments are going to find this hard going.The "plot", if you can call it that, appears to have been written on the back of a beermat with as little insight as possible: two good-for-nothing blokes go on holiday to Norfolk (not that you'll recognise it) and fall foul of an ancient curse involving lesbian vampires. In fact, the plot was written around the title, but if you're hoping for a cheesy, blood-soaked B-movie in the vein of FROM DUSK TILL DAWN or TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT, then you're going to be disappointed.There's barely any nudity and the decision was made to have the vampire blood white instead of red, so any would-be splatter scenes are completely awful. Add in a bunch of models with hopeless acting and the kind of embarrassing computer effects that lace modern episodes of DOCTOR WHO, and you have a film which relies on the script to work. And work it could have, if the script had allowed for genuine laughs and warmth.It doesn't. This is 'comedy' of the lowest common denominator, obsessed with dick and boob gags and without an ounce of wit anywhere to be seen. I tend to avoid modern comedy for a reason, and the supremely unfunny James Corden is precisely that reason. What makes it all the worse is that this guy thinks he's genuinely witty and amusing, when in fact most viewers will want to bash his head in with a shovel the second he appears on screen. Given the amount of screen time devoted to this guy, watching LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS is a cinematic equivalent of hell on Earth.There isn't much else to report. Horne is less irritating, but that's purely because he's playing the straight man to Corden's so-called 'gags'. The actresses are terrible in the extreme, and what Paul McGann is doing in this mess is anyone's guess – it's even worse than Queen of the Damned. It's also worse than Beyond the Rave, worse than the terrible Fred Olen Ray vampire skinflicks, worse than anything else that springs to mind. For a genuine lesbian vampire film, you could do worse than Hammer's THE VAMPIRE LOVERS to banish this travesty from your memory.
... View MoreI have been really looking forward to this movie after seeing the nice trailer back in 2009. But yet again, it turned out to be a big disappointment. While everything in this movie looked really cool, and the girls have been really sexy and beautiful, the script had nothing to offer. Bad story, bad characters, and an awfully silly humor. I think I had to smirk a single time in the movie after hearing the idea of gay were wolfs. Overall, the trailer has been more funny, than the movie itself. And I don't think that this can be said about any other movie. This is one of those movies, where the constant bad and silly jokes, destroy all atmosphere, all story, all tension, all interest in the characters - simply everything.
