This movie is about a Mexican Alfred the butler who has a machine that can see anything in the world, much like the Chinese guy in that wrestling women movie, and a vampire woman who needs thugs to bop her victims over the head. The vampire women literally have nothing to do with the movie.
... View MoreThis film is from Mexico and features the fan favorite wrestler Santo. So of course, this movie is going to have people saying that this film is good, we Americans just do not understand it and blah blah blah. Some seem to think that just because it is foreign it is somehow good, but let's face it, this film is the equivalent of one of those horrible Hulk Hogan films we make. Sure Santo may be popular in Mexico, but that does not mean a film he is in is good or that he can act or the story is somewhat tolerable. The only thing tolerable in this wreck of a film is the vampire ladies after they get all pretty. For the most part though when the film is not plodding along it is showcasing Santos' wrestling skills which for me is even more boring than the plodding along! The story has a coven of vampire women and their three wrestling vampire men plotting to kidnap a woman and making her the new vampire queen. They still have the old queen, but a new one is needed because I suppose the old one gets bored of being queen or something. Well a professor wishes to protect his daughter, who is the next in line. He asks for an inspector's help and promptly dismisses the man several times during one conversation. Meanwhile, the coven has chants and this and that and about halfway in the movie Samson shows up (Santo). Why one would want a wrestler to protect them is questionable against vampires, but I suppose it makes sense seeing as how the vampire men are all wrestlers. Well Santo is not very effective, mainly able to just flip people away, but he somehow manages to get ahead in the game and burn all the vampire women alive as they close themselves into their caskets...basically helpless.So the main problem is the pacing. The film is so slow and when there finally is action it is simply people being flipped around. This does not make for a good movie no matter how you slice it. It is laughable that a wrestler can match up with a vampire, and even more laughable how he burns the women vampires alive at the end. Wow, how heroic of you, Samson..er Santo, or man in silver mask. We are even treated to a wrestling match during the film, we do not need to see this in the middle of a vampire film! Mexican wrestlers are hailed as heroes in Mexico and perhaps a little kid from that country can see the appeal, but I do not as I do not like wrestling and do not hail them as heroes.So the film is mainly a bore. The only thing making this film a two instead of a one is the very attractive vampire women. The one doing most of the work is the best one, reminding me of that girl in the Roger Corman film, The Undead. I find it funny how they kept acting as if the girl they were after to become the next queen was super beautiful, when she was okay, but not nearly as cute as most of the vampire women. So if you are into Mexican wrestling and can enjoy a very pointless plot and non epic final showdown, give this one a look see. However, I would advise you look away if you ever see it on.
... View MoreWow, this is seriously one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life, I've seen some bad movies, but Samson vs. the Vampire Women is in a class of it's own. Now from what I understand Sampson is sort of like the Superman of Mexico, he's their hero, I always honestly thought it was a joke with the Mexican wrestlers, thanks to this movie, I'll be having nightmares for weeks, seeing that ridicules costume, no offense to fans of Samson, just God, that was such an outfit! I did see this through Mystery Science Theater 3000, thank goodness for Mike and the bots because I don't think there was any other entertaining way to get through this movie. But the only thing I can say about this movie, is that it's so bad that it turns around once again into the good/bad zone that makes it so laughable and you actually find yourself enjoying it, it's the vampire version of Goodfellas.A vampire woman has awakened and discovers that it is time to find the reincarnation of the queen of the vampires. She awakens other vampires to find the girl and their group will grow strong again. But the girl that they are after is being protected by her family and friends... and SAMSON, a Mexican wrestler who for some odd reason sometimes runs away from the bad guys and just flips them on their backs. But with Samson protecting her... well, I'm sure that she has an average chance of getting out of this bloody situation.Samson vs. the Vampire Women is pretty stupid, I mean we go from a vampire story to a wrestling match that has nothing to do with the story, it's like watching a movie with Paris Hilton and then in the middle of it cut to her sex tape just because that's mainly what she is famous for. If you are going to watch this, unless for some odd reason you are a fan of Samson, I would recommend watching it with the Mystery Science Theater 3000 gang, they make this movie much better, I just cannot believe some movies get the green light, this is definitely one of those movies, but at least it made for a great episode that will have you dying of laughter.1/10
... View MoreI read a bunch of comments on this movie, but come on its meant to be cheeze, its Santo, apparently alot of people dont know how cool Santo is. Just shut your brain off and enjoy watching Santo kick ass. If not, just watch the MST3K version of it.
