mark.waltz When a vampire comes out of his grave to find some fresh flesh, the last thing you expect him to look like is a businessman recovering the morning after. "What was that?", the first set if victims ask, as what sounds like a manhole cover being lifted up turns out to be the sound of the lid popping off of a cemetery coffin. Then, while the female is recovering in the hospital, they actually bring up the name of Bela Lugosi in the hint of vampirism. This just gets stranger as minutes going by, involving a phantom fetus that pops out of its mother in a later scene by her mother as if she were taking bread out of a toaster. The film just proceeds to get more bizarre and hideously disgusting, giving me the urge to burn the four film DVD it is on to prevent this from getting into further hands.

Red-Barracuda Grave of the Vampire opens with a vampire rising from his grave and attacking a young couple who have decided for reasons only known to themselves to make out in a graveyard in the dead of night. The vampire kills the guy and rapes the girl. She subsequently gives birth to a human-vampire hybrid. The boy grows up with a hatred of his vampire father and seeks him out for vengeance.You would have to say that this one is certainly a slightly left-field vampire tale. The idea of a half-vampire seeking revenge is not the usual script in this sub-genre; likewise the idea of a vampire who goes around raping and sexually assaulting women is hardly textbook stuff. The vampire in question is a night school lecturer who teaches the occult. One of his students even wants him to vampirize her! So at the very least, Grave of the Vampire has a few unusual ideas. But the movie also is a very low-budgeted one and the cheapness does at times detrimentally effect the overall whole. It does seem a bit clunky irrespective of the interesting set-up. Worth watching if you like scuzzy 70's movies but it's best not to expect too much.

trashgang Bad quality of the reel, intact. Bad score editing, yes it hurt my ears. A lot of hiss, yesssssssssssssssss. Hue problems, OMG! No blood or nudity, not a drip or a tit. Cheap score, indeed very simple but effective. Carnival make-up, o did it contain make-up? Simple effects, just some dental issues. Scary vampire, hmmmm, he walks in the sun so no. Wooden acting, yes and at the end over-the-top acting. And what a funny ending just before the credits. But somehow the script was okay and what the vampire had to tell was okay, surely a good example of drive-in trash, not perfect for todays standards but surely for the grindhouse/drive-in freaks.

lastliberal Now, when a body is found and a police lieutenant (Eric Mason) asks if the sun was completely up, you know there are going to be problems. The police do not automatically assume vampires. But, this one did.Leslie (Kitty Vallacher) was doing the nasty with her boyfriend (Jay Scott) in a cemetery when Caleb Croft (Michael Pataki) rises from the grave. The boyfriend is killed, and she is raped. An interesting twist on the vampire theme.30 years later the child (William Smith) is tracking down his father who has lost the ugliness of the grave and is busy raping and sucking the blood from young women.The movie is slow and there is no blood or nudity. I would have never watched had I noticed the PG rating. PG for a vampire movie. Lame!
