Lesbian Vampire Killers Trailer

January 1st 2009 07:06
The three sets of movies featuring lesbians, movies featuring vampires and movies featuring killers independently sell a lot of movies.

The intersection of 'lesbian' and 'vampire' has been done before and is now almost cliche... I mean, the teenage dude demographic will never tire of lesbian vampires, but throwing them into the mix with 'killers' mean that the Buffy crowd will be tempted as well.

Yes, it's ridiculous and the teaser trailer hardly teases me at all:



To be honest, though I fall in the category of people that would be interested in a "Lesbian Vampire Killers" film, the trailer confirms my most desperate fears: that it'll be a dark-hued, over CGI'd mess. Ah, the cold blues and smoky backgrounds, the writhing flesh and action packed fight scenes.

C'mon - it's a ridiculous premise, give us something interesting! Give me camp, or, even better, no CGI effects - and don't just slap lesbian scenes in convenient places just to fulfill the quota.

If its trash, I'll probably love it. Sometimes I think I can watch anything...The only movie I hated enough to switch off before the end was 'Monster's Ball' I was just so bored....

Kleo, I'm a big fan of trash, too, but it seems that a lot of the big movies are trying to emulate trash, without success.

Kleo, I hope you managed to get to the sex scene before you switched off! Halle Berry has never acted better!

I knew someone was going to mention that! Yeah, it was very raw, I agree, gave me another 5 seconds of entertainment....Its very unlike me to switch something off, even if its utter crap, I have to see the end. Maybe I really wasnt in the mood, I dont know.

I got it in a value pack with 'perfect stranger' and 'gothika' and I adored both of those. I think her best acting was 'catwoman'...I have so many cats. She captured furtive kitty very well.
