Bram Stoker's Way of the Vampire.It seems cruel to use the name of a talented writer like him, to sell what has to be the worst vampire movie I had ever watched. Bad gore, bad acting, bad writing, thrown in there nudity ( to distract male viewers I'm sure to how bad this movie was). The only good thing was the movie ended.I mean I should have picked up it was bad by the use of the papyrus font on the back of the DVD. But I'd given the DVD a miss other times, and I thought I might as well watch it. I should have continued to give it a miss.The plot line: Van Helsing goes to slay Dracula, and leaves obvious stalker/vampire with wife- wife is turned and just lies there spouting off the most insipid one liners I've heard- and doesn't even fight back as he stakes her.Van Helsing- tortured hero goes to church and agrees to accept immortality so he can get revenge.Cut to modern times where he now works in a hospital. See the weird junkie/loser vamp steal blood... I can't do this recite this plot, it was too horrible to recall. Okay skip forward- Helsing discovering Sebastian 'the vampire prince' is in town goes to the Church and gets himself some hunters- one of which is the nurse who worked at hospital.Sebastian and whatzhername vamp have Nurse kidnapped... then I fastfowarded twenty minutes. Final battle- Sebastian kicks it, Nurse hasn't been bitten yay!. But Helsing is not dying ( and at here is the oh my god they are not going to try and set up a sequel)Oh Whatzhername is alive and she roars!! This now sits as the worst thing I have ever watched. Do not watch this film. Please don't have all these reviewers, and me have suffered for nothing. Do not put yourself through watching 'Way of the Vampire'.

I really miss watching horror movies, just a good and gory film that you can just have fun with. I saw the cover for Way of the Vampire, I mean this was just the coolest cover, it looked like a great cover with vampire hunters. So I rented it and took it home, sat down and watched it first thing, I don't know why I get my hopes up with these straight to DVD's. As always these movies are just bad, the script(which obviously had no research), the actors(who you can tell are the desperate waiters in LA, waiting for their "big break"), the effects(which could've been done by a 10 year old I know who's much better with computers), the editing(I think the editor, this must have been his first time because he went a little crazy), just everything about this movie is bad, but I'll try to explain the story.Van Helsing is given immortality to hunt down the vampire "princes" after the love of his life is turned into a vampire and he has killed her. So over a hundred years later he has lived to try to catch one vampire, Sebastien. He's got a new girlfriend at the hospital, but cannot find the prince, so when Sebastien is awaken by his vampire girlfriend to create an army of darkness, oh, what will our Van Helsing do? I guess get stung by a wasp who does apparently die by one sting, lol.Way of the Vampire is just one of those bad straight to DVD's that really sucks, believe me, I can't believe I fell for it, I know that I sometimes say that the ratings are wrong here on IMDb, but this is the rating I really wished I paid attention to the rating because I might have saved some time and money on this trash. Just trust me when I say that this is one of the worst excuses for film that you'll ever see in your life, it's worse than amateur, I just don't know how else to go on but to just warn you to stay away from this piece of trash.1/10

I intended to write this movie a proper review after watching it, but I quickly realised that it's just not worth it.There really is nothing good about this movie, it's just one big turd.The first time that I tried to watch it, I lasted 15 minutes. Then I dared my friends to watch as long as they could, and the most hardboiled daredevil friend I have lasted 20 minutes.But I finally watched it to the end and I can't say that Im happy about doing it. This movie is the definition of awful.So do yourself a favour, don't even think about watching it.Im a big fan of B-movies, but this is just too much. It's not watchable.This is what's bad about the movies: -the acting -the plot -the special effects -the camera angles -the editing -the movie!

There's not much I can add to all the other reviewers' comments, which were--if anything--too kind. This is the movie Ed Wood would have made if he had a competent cameraman, because the cinematography is actually very good, which is the only--let me emphasize, absolutely the ONLY--good thing about the movie. Otherwise, this is one of the few films I've ever seen where you can't point to at least one aspect of it and say, "Well, at least that wasn't too bad"--because EVERYTHING about this film is bad. Not just bad, but atrociously, horrendously, brain-destroyingly bad. Acting, writing, "action" scenes, etc., have to strain mightily to reach the level of the Christmas play in which you played a candy cane back in third grade--and they don't succeed. Much has already been written about the shoddy-beyond-belief sound, and there's nothing I can add to that except to say that the producers' unwillingness to hire a competent sound man, which resulted in much of the dialog being unintelligible, is one of the few things they did right.All in all, a virtually worthless movie. Although there's a fair amount of female nudity, it's really not worth sitting through this stinker to check it out (jeez, I can't believe I just discouraged guys from ogling naked chicks; if that doesn't give you an idea of how much this flick sucks, then nothing will). If tenth-rate swill churned out by incompetent, talentless slugs is your cup of tea, even you won't like this movie. Avoid it at all costs.
