Vampiress Review: "Tales of Found Footage"

The Gist: Three horror shorts taken from a first person perspective.

Female Vampire Factor: The story that gets this film on this blog is #2 "Mail Order Bride",  It starts with a guy with his sleezy buddy and a prudish woman at a restaurant celebrating that his mail order bride from Romania is arriving today.  The woman spends the whole time shaming the guy "Hooch" for going through with it warning him that they could be women being exploited or trafficked. 

Skip ahead to a torturous car ride that feels like we're witnessing their entire drive to the airport where they literally BS the whole time in dialogue straight of out of staged reality porn.

 

They finally arrive at the airport and see his bride Nicoletta and find she didn't come alone as she brought her friend Mihaela with her who doesn't speak English. 

 

They head to a bar where we get a montage of Hooch and Nicoletta bonding as well as the camera guy Matt being a horned up creep about the whole thing.

 

Finally they head back to Hooches place where Nicoletta wants to get him alone. She asks to see his bedroom then says she has a surprise for him. She leaves and when she comes back she's in a sexy schoolgirl outfit. 

They get hot and heavy (which you don't see) but you then hear Hooch complain about getting bit and bleeding.  The camera comes back on to reveal Nicoletta has fangs. 

Hooch runs back down the steps to get Matt who was left alone with Mihaela just to find her draining him of blood. 

The scene ends with a fanged Nicoletta and Mihaela (who it's revealed does speak English) taunting Hooch about how easy American men are to seduce before they both pounce on him.

 

Final Opinion:  The two other stories in this film include the first film which is "#TheChallenge" which is about two girls that do a social media challenge to explore an abandoned hotel who end up being possessed by the ghost who haunts it;

and the third story titled "The Coven" which is about two goth girls who are trying to practice witchcraft and get the idea to sacrifice their friend who then comes back from the dead and hunts them down.  

While the premise calls these "found footage" films the reality is that's pretty much just a way of saying "filmed using cell phones and cheap equipment" as there is way too much production going on for this to be found footage (multiple camera shots and edits), not to mention it doesn't make sense for anyone in the third film to actually be filming any of the stuff they're doing. 

From an entertainment standpoint it's very much watchable for the most part with the vampire story probably being the worst of the three seeing as it's 30% nagging, 60% Bang Brothers porn parody without the porn and only the annoying guys talking about getting laid parts and 10% vampire stuff.  Because the 10% of Vampire stuff is fantasy driven I'll give it a Vampire Beauty Rating of 4 out of 5.  Basically skip straight to the part where they go back to Hooches house and ignore literally everything before that and it's a 5.

Vampiress XXX Review: "Heroine Domination Death Hell: The end of the Vampire"

The Gist: A sword wielding vampire super heroine wages a battle with an evil female vampire and her brood.

Female Vampire Factor:  Your vampire super-heroine is played by Sayuri Ichimatsu

 In this film she faces off with a larger blonde female vampire who also has a henchwoman with her who dresses in a very corporate look.

For those who are new to the Japanese super heroine style films they're easily summed up as cosplay torture porn. Generally the hero gets dominated by the villain which leads to lots of molesting.  The sexy hench woman in this one gets plenty of fang time prior to being offed which is great since in my opinion she's the hottest female in the movie.

There's also an even sexier scene in which the villain after dominating the hero feeds on her.

Then after she's overcome with blood lust blindfolds her then strips and force feeds her friend to her.

To add insult to injury after she finally one ups and kills all the villains our hero ends up being staked through the heart by a vampire hunter when she isn't looking.

Final Opinion: I have absolutely no complaints about this film.  It's straight and to the point with the vampires being feral monsters which is always a plus for me.  I give it a Vampire Beauty Rating of 5 out of 5. These kinds of films are hit or miss but this one was definitely on the better end of the entertainment spectrum.

Vampiress Review: "The Temperature of Darkness"

The Gist: When a real estate agent and his friends stay at a summer house that is being purchased by a strange eastern European captain one of the house mates begins to show vampiric tendencies.

Female Vampire Factor:  There is only one and that's the character Lucy.

 No fangs, just pale makeup. To make matters worse the scene where she first turns isn't even visible because the camera person is literally running away from her along with the main character so all you get is blurry shaky camera.

And the second time she does it's done off camera which doesn't even matter because the screen is so dark with the blue filter that if it was on camera you wouldn't see anything anyway.

Final Opinion:  The film itself comes off as a feature length student film that you would see on Youtube.   Poor audio in outdoor scenes, no transition shots to help separate scenes and instead you deal with jump cuts with stuff just happening and you just having to figure out where you are in the stories timeline. Worst of all, using a filter for night scenes with no extra lighting leads to your ethnic actors barely being visible in those scenes.  I give it a Vampire Beauty Rating of 1 out of 5. Basically its an attempt at the retelling of the Dracula story but in a modern way which the film acknowledges with one of the characters literally pointing it out. There is an almost mobster story line as well in there but it isn't very well flushed out much like the rest of the film.  Just way too many issues for a movie this long to be watchable.

Vampiress Review: "The Night Crew"

The Gist: A group of bounty hunters head to Mexico in search of a woman but when they find her they quickly realize they may be in over their heads as she is also wanted by a cartel who will do anything to get her back all the while all hiding a supernatural secret.

Female Vampire Factor: All the trouble the crew is going through is over a stripper named Mae (Chasty Ballesteros)

The entire movie she's pretty dirty and is in pretty bad shape.  It's hinted throughout the film that there's something different about her including the head of the cartel, Aguilar (Danny Trejo) mentioning that she is sick which is why they must get her back.  As the movie goes on she begins to show signs that she's taking a liking to the girl of the bounty hunters Rose (Luciana Faulhaber) who is pretty creeped out by her as she somehow knows all her secrets (she cheated on her boyfriend with the leader of the group and is pregnant with his daughter).

Eventually at the end of the film Rose gets gravely injured and the big reveal happens.  Mae is a vampire.

She bites and turns Rose.  Rose then goes to find the lead bounty hunter and proceeds to bite and turn him.

The film ends with Mae, Rose and Wade confronting Aguilar (but it fades to black before anything happens.

Final Opinion: It's a pretty good survival action film.  I didn't care much for the needless conflict as it seemed really out of place.  Two guys are literally fighting over a girl while a large group of gang members are shooting at them.  Other than that the twist of her being a vampire was a great payoff.  Since the ending is the only vampiric thing about the film though I give it a Vampire Beauty Rating of 2 out of 5.
