Vampire In Vegas (2009)

The Age of Commercialism

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

In Las Vegas, the powerful three hundred year old vampire Sylvian (Toni Todd) hires Dr. van Helm (Delia Sheppard) to research a cure to survive in the sun. She uses three vampire women as guinea pigs to test the serum in the desert and a couple that is camping witnesses the failure and calls the police. Detective Stanton (Ted Monte) and his partner Detective O'Hara (Gigi Erneta) are assigned to investigate the case. Meanwhile, Jason (Edward Spivak), who is going to marry Rachel (Sonya Joy Sims), and two friends travel to Las Vegas for his bachelor party with a couple of strippers, but the women are actually vampires that attack them. Out of the blue, Rachel and her friend Nikki (Brandin Rackley) decide to travel to Las Vegas to surprise her boyfriends. The group is captured by Sylvian that uses them to feed the pack vampires and test the new research."Vampire in Vegas" is one of the worst vampire movies I have ever seen. The story is silly and the acting is so bad that becomes hilarious. Toni Todd lures the viewers working in this awful movie. Fortunately most of the "actors" and "actresses" are young and have time to make a reflection and chose another profession and business to survive. In the end, this movie that happens in Vegas, should have stayed in Vegas, preferably buried or burnt. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Vampiro em Vegas" ("Vampire in Vegas")

Tony Todd stars in a film that had to be done film for cash. Its an odd mix of horror comedy and enhanced cleavage as various dark forces battle it out in Vegas. Forgive me if I don't go into the plot, I don't think the filmmakers ever had a clear idea what that was to begin with. That said the film is a mess with a great deal happening but none of it making sense. The film seems to be on the level of a bad adult film's exposition scenes. You know the ones where no one takes it seriously since its only suppose to move you to the next sex scenes. There's little sex in this film, none of it erotic, though all of the women are well endowed and shot to show off their assets to maximum effect. Todd is the only one who gives anything remotely like a performance and he seems to be embarrassed to even be associated with this film. I'm embarrassed to say I've seen it, so don't make the same mistake.

It is as if Francis Ford Coppola, Shakespeare and Andrew Lloyd Webber had a love child that became this script. The acting was flawless, and each gave what I believe to be an Oscar caliber performances. The set design was pure perfection as it really created an ambiance and tone that really drew you into the story. The musical orchestration could be described as nothing less that flawlessness as it whipped away the last few shreds of disbelief and completed your journey into becoming part of this dark fantasy. As with any good film you can really tell the absolute mastery this director had over his craft. Shaping and forming the awesome talent wielded by the actors and actresses to deliver a story, as I am certain of, that was the true vision of the writer. The originality of concept of trying to find a cure for sunlight is a truly frightening idea if they were ever able to accomplish it and serves to really keep you on the edge of your seat. I am certain that this film will be used as THE example of proper film making in generations to come. A MUST SEE!'

It's like watching a porn movie without the sex scenes. It has been a while since I've seen a (horror)movie that was this bad! This really has no redeeming qualities, the story is awful, just like the actors, the visual effects, etc, etc. Tony Todd is not in his Candyman mood, here he is just plain bad. All the other actors are even worse, all of them people I've never heard of (and probably won't in the future if this is a reference...). The story is something we've seen many times before (and much better), It's you typical 'Vampire wants to find a cure to be able to survive daylight'-type of films. You are better of watching 'Zombie Strippers' than this piece of garbage! A.A.A.C. (avoid at all costs).
