I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I remember hearing about this case at the time.The case generated a lot of publicity because of its bizarre nature.It also reignited the debate about whether certain types of movies, games and music inspire real life crimes.This was because the teenagers had apparently been playing a fantasy role playing game called Vampire:The Masquerade and they took the fantasy too far.They started to actually believe that they really were vampires with special powers and they would drink each others blood.I really enjoyed the movie although their were some inaccuracies and they left out some things that I thought they shouldn't have.Like in his confession Rod Ferrell said that he beat both of Heathers parents to death with a crowbar.He beat the father to death with a crowbar but the mother was stabbed to death.I also thought they should have mentioned the role playing game.It was not mentioned once which was surprising seeing as how it was one of the main features of the case. Also I thought they should have had more about Rods relationship with his mother which was only mentioned very briefly.I thought that the acting from the main characters was excellent especially Drew Fuller who played the part of the groups psychotic leader Rod Ferrell.I love movies based on true crimes and this one is well worth checking out.

For being a movie that is based on a true story, it was really great. I actually rented the DVD because Drew Fuller was in it and I really liked him as Chtistopher Perry Halliwel in 'Charmed'. He is good looking ans someone who can really put his emotions out there. It was surprisingly good because I saw some trailers of it and I didn't think I would like it. It was good and exiting and scary. The acting was good but it was kind of yucky sometimes. There were some parts where I thought: "okay, this is going a little bit to far." But it is all forgotten en forgiven because Drew is such a hot guy! The role of the girls was really good but I think that the other characters were a little bit 'flat'. But maybe they just didn't have enough facts and it's a little stupid for making thing up.

I read somewhere that the acting in this movie made it worth watching, as did the depictions of the crime itself and the accurate representation of the real-life facts. May I state for the record that I would like to thrash the person who said this repeatedly about the face and neck.I love a good true crime thriller, so I took a chance and got the DVD from Amazon; I had already read Aphrodite Jones' account of the case in her novel "The Embrace" and was clamoring for something a little mo' better. I'll be trading in this DVD as soon as possible to receive store credit at my local media outlet, and I'm kicking myself for wasting my money and time on this worthless piece of sensational trash. Seriously--there is nothing redeeming or worthwhile about "Vampire Clan," and I would strongly urge anyone even remotely curious to steer clear. The worst of it is that the story had potential; the sordid tale of Rod Ferrell and his blood-drinking, spell casting, Masquerade-playing groupies is just crazy enough to be the subject of a great movie. John Webb and Aaron Pope killed anything good about it, unfortunately. The flashback to the scene at the Vampire Hotel is unnecessary and stupid in light of the fact that it's the only reference to anything that happened before Rod and his lackeys showed up in Eustis, Florida (well, that and an unexplained bit about Jaden Murphy). Every other line of dialog between every character in this entire film is forced and unrealistic. I LAUGHED at the supposed accurate portrayal of the crime scene. I've seen scarier blood and gore in the worst B horror movies ever made. David Wells--portraying Rick Wendorf--looked less like a murder victim and more like a man who had indulged in some bizarre ritual with a jar of strawberry jelly. Drew Fuller, despite being exceedingly easy on the eyes, sucks worse than a Hoover vacuum with a giant hairball stuck in the hose. He is not a convincing Rod Ferrell. His desperate attempts to come across as an evil bloodthirsty murderer are just plain goofy. Ditto that for Timothy Lee DePriest, who was SUPPOSED to be goofy (Scott Anderson was nothing if not a big dork trying to emulate his hero, Rod) and made me want to smack HIM with the tire iron--please don't anyone ever hire this guy to act in anything ever again, not even a toothpaste commercial.To summarize...I dislike Kevin Costner movies, and yet I would rather have my eyelids duct-taped to my forehead and be forced to watch "Waterworld," "The Postman" and "Wyatt Earp" back-to-back than sit through another viewing of "Vampire Clan."

This movie was never meant to be a horror flick. If anything, I'd categorize this movie in the same genre as Catch Me If You Can. After reading through a couple of the reviews here at the IMDb, I felt the need to submit my own review. This movie is NOT for people who want a good old fashioned vampire movie. Just because the title has 'vampire' in it, doesn't mean it needs to be the typical horror movie.Rather, this movie is based on a true story. Granted, just like in Catch Me If You Can, some things from real life had to have been changed. But the general plot and the basic motivations of the characters remain true.This entire movie is an in-depth look at the human psyche and the troubled lives of a couple teenagers. I find it fascinating from a philosophical and psychological viewpoint. If you liked the movies Memento and Catch Me, then this movie is for you.Granted, there are some things about the movie that I felt needed to be explained and I would have liked to see more reason for the actions of the main characters. It would have been nice to see why the kids acted the way they acted--what kind of parents and home life did that have to make them so confused and lost? But I think the movie still makes it and is definitely worth seeing. It's well directed and well acted--and I am glad I sat down and watched it all the way through.Even if it wasn't a scary vampire movie.
