Vampiyaz 2004 Horror Movie Review

I’ve watched a LOT of movies. I’ve watched a LOT of bad movies (The Unnameable II). I’ve watched a lot of bad movies with good qualities (Love And A Bullet & Gang of Roses - both unintentionally hilarious, in a MST3K kinda way) but its very rare that I watch a movie and go “that was a completely unforgivable waste of my two hours of time”.


This is one of those movies (the 1988 Nightfall is another). What makes it worse is, unlike the movies I mentioned above, there’s no good camera work, sets, sound design, special efx nor even music (granted, hip-hop is notoriously hard to utilize for anything outside the “urban flick” genre) that would make this movie worth watching, even if you’re only watching to make fun of it.


The script is bad, the acting’s bad, the lighting was beyond atrocious(at least indoors, the outdoor scenes all used what looked like natural light, but the cinematographer seemed to think White Balance was a European in the frame) the villian wasn’t scary. . . making the few moments of brilliance (see the baseball interrogation scene, if you can stomach the rest of the flick) all the more glaring.


Avoid this like the plague!
