Vamp U
SYNOPSIS
Sinds hij drie eeuwen geleden per ongeluk de liefde van zijn leven, Mary Lipinsky (Julie Gonzalo), doodbeet, is Wayne Gretzky (Adam Johnson) een vampier zonder trek en zonder... slagtanden. Om de knagende pijn te vergeten, doceert Wayne nu geschiedenis aan Hawthorn University. Een vak waar hij, logischerwijze, in uitblinkt. Om zijn impotentie te verhelpen, schakelt hij de hulp in van zijn vriend en collega Dr. Levine (Gary Cole). Maar niets mag baten... tot in het nieuwe semester plots de verleidelijke Chris Keller (Julie Gonzalo), ten tonele verschijnt! Chris lijkt als twee druppels bloed op Mary en eindelijk schuiven de slagtanden weer als vanouds. Hun passionele affaire brengt niet alleen de geruchtenmolen op gang, maar ook een onstuitbare epidemie van bloedmooie vampieren... De slogan 'Sorority Girls Suck!' krijgt plots een heel andere bijklank in deze lekker weghappende vampierenkomedie.
REVIEWS
- Deadfilm.net: a hilarious, charming blast of fun. I guarantee you will have a good time with this original vampire comedy (which we really don't get too much of, VAMPIRES SUCK doesn't count). I heartily recommend VAMP-U!
- DreadCentral.com: a fun, quirky movie containing one awkward situation after another that comes together and will get you laughing as it reimagines the original Dracula story.
- HorrorNews.net: This movie out to be one of the most pleasant surprises I've had for quite some time. An out-and-out comedy, rather than a horror-comedy hybrid, this mines a rich vein of varsity humour while gently poking fun at the current vogue for vampires in popular culture. Horror fans and non-horror fans alike will both find much to enjoy in this well-written and well-performed movie.
- Cinemacrazed.com: Much more of a great horror film than it is a comedy, 'Vamp U' is a clever and entertaining vampire film with some clever storytelling devices, a sharp cast, and great atmosphere that hearkens back to the classic horror trash fests of the eighties. It's definitely worth watching for anyone in the mood for a film with its tongue firmly planted in cheek.
- TwistedCentral.com: Vamp U is packed full of vampiry fun. I found myself laughing out loud through out the whole film. I would recommend this over and over to anyone looking for a charming little independent film that more than hits it's mark.
- horror101withdrac: this is one indie treat that deserves a spot on horror fans' class schedules.
- Influxmagazine.com: It's surely worth a watch. Recommended.
- TheIndependentCritic.com: A vampire comedy that is actually funny. I had a genuinely good time with where the film was taking me and with its terrific ensemble cast.
