TheLittleSongbird If I were to devise a top 10 of the worst ever Asylum movies, Way of the Vampire would almost certainly towards the top of that list. That's how dreadful it is. It is really amateurish-looking, with settings like look like people's basements, camera work so shaky and fragmented that it'd probably set off an epileptic fit and special effects and make-up as artificial as you can go. In terms of costumes, think of a Halloween costume complete with some fangs and the like and there you go. Audibly it is just as so, with really bizarre and overly-loud sound effects and music that doesn't fit at all with the movie, almost as if there had been a last minute story change and they had no time to think of a new soundtrack, or even worse that they weren't even trying to make things mesh with one another. The dialogue is some of the most banal you'll ever hear, that is when you can hear it that is, the story was a predictable idea in the first place but made even worse by the unacceptably senseless and often aimless(too much filler not enough atmosphere) telling of it and the characters are obnoxious stereotypes. The gore looks cheap and does nothing at all to enhance any scene they appear in, which are further let down by poor editing and clumsy direction anyway. The combat was really abysmally choreographed, no tension and often ridiculously over-simplistic. The acting is atrocious, even from Rhett Giles, who has given decent performances before but is way over-the-top here that it is painful to watch him. Overall, where to begin to describe the awfulness of Way of the Vampire? You think of something, I'm not wasting my time any more even talking about it. 0/10 Bethany Cox

disarray-1 the acting is horrible. it looks and sounds as if it was filmed on a home video camera the background audio overpowers the voices throughout the whole movie. the sound effects have been repeated over and over, it seems everyone has the same scream the actor who played hell-sing cant even pronounce Nosferatu, he says "nosterfartu" how can the people that edited miss something so obvious, maybe they were too caught up in trying to make people disappear by stopping the camera, getting the actor to move out of screen then starting it again. the visual effects could be done better on a high school editing suite. action scenes are just a disorienting confusion of flashes of the weapons closeup of the actors, the story line.... pathetic

czarnobog There are a few good things about this movie, but the negatives are so overwhelming that I could only give it a 1 on the ole 1 to 10 scale. The cinematography is very pretty and the miniature set models are excellent. At least I think they're models. Everything about this movie is so bogus that they may actually be real locations which the directors (yes, it took two directors to cook this turkey) somehow managed to make look like models.With two directors you'd think that it might only be half-bad. Instead it's doubly pretentious. The lovely Denise Boutte may well be the hammiest actor on planet Earth. Rhett Giles as Van Helsing looks like a reject from the Pet Shop Boys, and his acting is nearly as overblown and stuffy as Ms. Boutte's. Every line by just about every "actor" is recited in emo overdrive.There were also at least two writers involved. The version I saw had three listed, unless I was hallucinating, but IMDb says two. The third one may have requested anonymity. Or hacked the webpage and erased his or her name. In any case, the dialog is so cheesy you'd think it was written by the teen Gothtards from Saturday Night Live.If I see one more pseudo-Goth vampire movie with semi-clad model-pretty airheads melting into the arms of Ralph Lauren pretty men in ersatz under-populated nightclubs I'll puke up a kidney. Anne Rice has apparently spawned a sub-race of cretinous filmmakers.This is the first film I've seen which challenges Uwe Boll's "House of the Dead" as the WORST horror film ever made.

russem31 Unlike David Latt's War of the Worlds, this film by the aforementioned producer, Bram Stokers' Way of the Vampire, is a very sub-par film. At least with War of the Worlds, there were some acceptable performances and superb visual effects. This film had nothing more than an anemic (to use a "blood" term) script, with below-average dialogue. The acting was atrocious on almost every front. The production design budget also seemed to be lacking (unlike War of the Worlds which looked professional at least). Hmm, what else, before I forget what I watched? The sound - I could NOT hear almost half the dialogue been said - because the music (the score which suspiciously sounds a lot like War of the Worlds - surprise) and effects were turned up to completely drown out the inferior dialogue (perhaps this was intentional?) One positive thing I can say is that Mr. Latt knows how to turn out product, and one should keep in mind that this is a low budget film. Therefore, it isn't a bomb, but I can't give it more than 4 out of 10 stars.
