First, you have to realize that Fred Olen Ray's "Beverly Hills Vamp" is NOT intended to be taken seriously, so if you watch it and end up complaining that it's "mind-numbing drivel" (to quote the previous reviewer), then you totally missed the point. The whole point is to be silly and show scantily clad babes, as Ray also did with "Evil Toons" and "Teenage Exorcist". With the presence of Eddie Deezen (who played the chatterbox Beatlemaniac in Robert Zemeckis's "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and the obnoxious ventriloquist in Steven Spielberg's "1941"), you know that you're in for something zany.What I mean by the link to Peter Sellers and the Beatles is a loose connection. Britt Ekland was one of the many blonde sexpots of the '60s. She was married to Sellers for a few years. Peter Sellers co-starred with Ringo Starr in "The Magic Christian", a mockery of the British class system. Christopher Lee appears briefly in the movie as a vampire. Years later, Eddie Deezen appeared in Zemeckis's movie as a man modeling himself on Ringo. That's the connection.Anyway, this is a movie that you just have to accept as totally silly. That's all that it is: nice, silly fun with a lot of hot babes.I'd bed Britt Ekland any day.

Kyle, Brock and Russell are three aspiring filmmakers new in Hollywood. They phone up an escort ad and take a trip to a Beverly Hills mansion, but unfortunately for them the call girls turn out to be fiendish vixens of the undead …This is an enjoyable enough no-brainer of the kind Ray managed to crank out every few months in his heyday. As long as you don't mind Deezen's schtick - which is harmless and affable - there are some funny moments, busty babes and amusingly scene-chewing performances. Ray deserves kudos for convincing Ekland to appear, Quarry (old Count Yorga himself) is goofy as a priest-wannabe-screenwriter, Bauer in a beautiful red dress should put starch in any man's strides, and Ray's wife Wildsmith is an airhead secretary. Written as a sideline by Ernest D. Farino (a top-notch effects man), with some witty dialogue; my favourite line is when Lamb gets an oversize stake through the pump and croaks, "My, that's a big one.". As with most of Ray's films, there's a pleasing rinky-dink keyboard score by the talented Chuck Cirino. If like me you have an affection for scuzzy little independent movies made by hacks, this is a pleasant enough time-filler.

I would like to say that i find Beverly Hills Vamp a great movie especially with Jillian Kesner in it. She makes me hot like butter and i always liked films with female vampires in it. You could say it's one of my weaknesses.Too bad we didn't see more of it, and that she died so soon. A sequel would be in its place.Furthermore would I like to say that even if it wasn't always of a high level, it gave me some laughs now and then. And what's wrong with a film where guys, nerds or otherwise, go looking for hookers. Everybody has his preferences and it's a great movie for those who have wet dreams about female vampire hookers.

This movie tries to be as bad as "Dinosaur Island" but only sucks as bad as "The Phantom Empire" The excuse for a plotline plods along, the acting is reminiscent of the 2 by 4 in the wall to my left, and the camera work isn't working at all, my etch-a-sketch showed more talent and innovation even when I left it untouched. The script tries to have a constant stream of jokes, but none of them hits the mark, not even the one they stole from "Leisure Suit Larry". The only good thing about this film is all the nekkid chicks, but we only see them for about 10 minutes altogether out of an hour and a half running time. The rest of the time is spent watching 3 total nerds do nerdish things. The 'plot' follows the 3 nerds that go to Hollywood to try and get their movie made, get shot down immediately and then decide to buy some hookers. The hookers turn out to be vampires and they spend the last hour running about trying to kill the nerds, who are of course trying to escape.If you like the "So bad it's good" style of film making, then this film isn't for you. If you like genuinely good films, then this film isn't for you, either. Now if you into wasting your time with mind numbing drivel, then this is the perfect film for you.
