If you've watched a few Full Moon videos, you've seen much of the mad scientist set used elsewhere, and that Corman philosophy of film making pretty much defines, yet doesn't limit, this comedic gem. You've read the plot, so I won't repeat it. Watch this shiny little trinket for the over-the-top dialog, inventive character acting, and the topsy-turvy nonsense of tiny Universal monsters. Rhonda Griffin portrays an earnest goof and a bit of a ditz with great comic timing, Kristin Norton shines as a socially incompetent amazon lesbian, and Bill Moynihan creates a wonderfully nerdy and inept mad scientist. Watching his character stutter his way through over-intellectualized justifications of his misspent education is a joy to behold. The 'monsters' are silly in the extreme, except for Phil Fondacaro's Dracula, which is played mercifully straight. Crank up the popcorn maker, light a medical fire, and have a laugh. It's good for you!
... View MoreI am a huge fan of Charles Band and Full Moon Entertainment. Waste of $10. BUT this movie was an absolute waste of time! It was not even scary, no one was killed. I would not consider this a horror movie, but a major disappointment! Phil is good as Dracula, he does the majority of speaking for the creatures. Do not understand how the whole lesbian activity fits into the story? Typical boob shot in horror movies, even though I would not classify this as one. I prefer the Full Moon movies from the 80s period as opposed to the 90s period with the exception of Blood Dolls. Good creature costume design. Rhonda is not a very good actress, hopefully she hasn't acted in much more. Don't waste your time renting this.
... View MorePerfect camp. Phil Fondacaro is the best little Dracula I've ever seen; the script never takes itself seriously and even the musical score is perfect cheese. If you live outside the United States, you won't "get" this film at all- if you're American, you'll chuckle with understanding from front to back. The writer, director and composer knew exactly what they were doing here. It's too bad they only had a couple of bucks to do it with, but if you put that aside, this flick is a howler.
... View MoreThe people at Full Moon are certainly riding the short bus to work now a days. This movie is terrible. It's one film that makes references to other films the film makers have made. Masturbatory idiocy. The acting is rancid from EVERYONE in the cast except Phil Fondocardo as Dracula. The guy is just really good, and Full Moon is lucky to have him. Apparently they know this since he's about 60% of their movies. The plot is pathetic, unfunny, unfrightening, and has no suspense what so ever. If you like this movie, kill yourself.
