The Worst Film Ever

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A very hit or miss seductively light weight romantic comedy spoof about Dracula getting kicked out of Transylvania and heading to the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple (authentic New York filming locations used) to hopefully sink his fangs into a famous fashion model that he has fallen in love with. While rather goofy in tone, it remains strangely endearing and perky thanks to the suave performance of George Hamilton milking it out as the count himself. Arte Johnson's is amusing as Dracula's giggling, bug-munching servant. Susan Saint James brings spirit to her part as Dracula's love interest and Richard Benjamin is quite fun in his neurotic role as her boyfriend / psychiatrist that happens to be a relation to Van Helsing. The cast seem to be having fun with its wittily well-judged script and lively gags. It would have been great if the story had Dracula interacting with the everyday activities of New York's nightlife more (like the small sequence that has him up against some thugs and disco dancing), but the script concentrates more so on the sweeping love angle and that of Benjamin's character trying to stop James's dame falling under Dracula's spell. Sometimes hysterical (especially Benjamin's performance --- like the funny restaurant sequence), but the dialogue can be also be rather slight in its humour. Hokey, but energetically old-fashion fun.

Of all the vampire comedy movies this one has to be one of my favorites. "Lost Boys" is probably number one on the list, but it has a bit more horror elements than does this movie. This one just works as the lead George Hamilton was very good in the role of the bloodsucker. I also like the guy who was some sort of descendant of Van Helsing. I love how he kept getting the way you kill a vampire wrong to the point of shooting Hamilton's character with silver bullets in a restaurant and the last scene where he is putting on the cape thinking that is how the count attracted the ladies. All around funny movie as it really worked for me as the cast was good, the plot was good and the humor was good. I am not the biggest fan of comedies this one though really made me chuckle quite a bit. Hamilton also did a Zorro movie that was not quite as good as this one, but was also rather funny. I wonder how he did not star in more comedy type roles as that genre really suited him very well. The role of the count fit him well too, as he was a bit serious at times and at others very funny. A lot of scenes stand out in this one. Much better than most comedies they put out these days that seem to think the only thing that is funny is bathroom humor.

this is a pretty good send up of the Dracula lore. the basic premise is that Dracula ends up being evicted from his castle in Transylvania and decides to relocate to New York to be with his true love,even if she doesn't know it.the most amusing aspect of this movie is George Hamilton as the count.George Hamilton is a perpetually tanned person and in the movie,he is also tanned.picture Count Dracula,who is supposed to be deathly pale with a dark tan.that's a pretty funny picture.then,we have the count in New York who is like a fish out of water.there are some some very funny lines in this movie,mainly owing to the count not being familiar with the language and customs of a modern city.Susan Saint James plays the love interest Cindy Sondheim and is quite funny in her role.the character of Renfield is also very funny,but it is Richard Benjamin as the count's rival for Cindy's affections and adversary who steals the show with his scenes.the humour in this movie is not the tears streaming down your face kind.it's more droll and wry,but it works.the movie moves at good clip and maintains interest throughout.i especially liked how the actors manage to have a deadpan delivery for their silly lines.basically,i liked this movie quite a bit.it's certainly worth 90 minutes to 2 hours of time.i give "Love at First Bite" a 7/10

There are many reasons to rate this movie as a 10. The movie itself establishes a theatrical epiphany that creates an open door of possibility for any viewer(s). As a movie classic, it displays human-like qualities of both frailty and stamina through-out the work.The lead character is portrayed in a custom-made suit of personality and other durable qualities. The story has to be seen to really be appreciated. Certainly, it will rank as a classic, even in the year 2016."Love at First Bite" is a film that any good collector must have in their library, as a simple show piece and even a calendar review on any given Sunday.
