This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

OK, I don't know who wrote that plot outline, but they had clearly NEVER seen the movie.Yes, a perfectly preserved mummy is discovered outside Mexico City and sent to a museum there. But it was not a "dead" vampire who was looking for "his" lost love. It was, rather, a female vampire who'd buried herself in an effort to escape her sire/lover, Vlad.She then discovers blood banks, TV, radio, recorded music and, finally that her attempt at escape didn't work, since Vlad had still been searching for her.Having said all that--I really think that my favorite line in the entire movie is when Vlad's 2 fledglings are standing at the back of the car that they are transporting him in which has just been stopped by a traffic cop. As the trunk opens, showing that its full of dirt, a hand shoots out of the dirt, grabbing the cop by the throat and dragging him down. The 2 fledglings are then standing there shaking their heads and one says to the other, "He just is not a morning person." Its a totally funny movie, with Ben Cross doing a great job as a psycho Vlad.

This movie is truly a delight! It has an almost charming quality. The story line is interesting and well paced...no boring lulls and no gratuitous slashing and splattering of blood for pointless effect (a big pet peeve of mine). There's enough scientific rational to hold up the main premise, Vampirism as a viral infection (well, enough for me anyway ;) ). I found every single character to be interesting and entertaining. The setting is perfect; old & Gothic buildings, sort ethereal with lots of mist and fog when needed, as well as shots that included urban city streets, a hospital and lab, and of course one or two cemeteries. I enjoyed the timing and the way the film moved from one to the other, scary to funny and back to scary (great fun!). One of the best things about this movie is it's comic value, I think. Many laugh-out-loud moments (at least for me)...too many to recount here. There's also a nice light romantic subplot, but not too much (I'm not a big fan of a lot of all that mushy stuff--interferes with the movie). Another thing that I found really wonderful is the music, some really great pieces! Other movies that I consider to have great music choices are 'I Married an Axe Murderer' and 'Lost Boys' just to name the first two off the top of my head, but not because the music is similar, but because of what the music brings to the movie and how perfectly it helps mold the feelings and atmosphere of the scenes they're backing up. The music in Nightlife is like that: quirky, upbeat, and truly adds to the movie.Overall, I simply love this movie and pull it out to watch whenever I want a smile. I just don't get tired of this great little flick.

I saw this film a long time ago on TV, but definitely enjoyed it. The film has an engaging mix of dark humour and sexual tension running throughout. The script, though nothing spectacular, is well written and keeps the viewer entertained. This film deserves at least 7/10 and I rate it 8/10. The average rating (after 70+ reviews) of under 6/10 is, I think, unfair and I suspect many reviewers either did not 'get' the humour, or were not paying attention to the nuances of the script. I definitely recommend this film for bedtime entertainment. If you enjoyed this film, I would also recommend the film 'Split Second' starring Rutger Hauer.

I was actually shocked with how much I enjoyed this movie, most horror movie spoofs tend to be laughably dumb. Nightlife manages to escape that fate by actually having an original story. An old world vampire tries to adjust to the twenty first century and escape her psycho ex boyfriend who just happens to be Vlad the Impaler. The cast is great, Ben Cross does a wonderful job as Vlad he plays the character as straight as if it was a horror movie not a comedy. He's actually kinda scary and that makes the hilarious reactions from the other characters seem genuine and even funnier!I love this movie and highly recommend it for a great laugh!
