Vampires
vs Zombies
USA
2004. Director: Vince D'Amato
Cast: Bonny Giroux, Maratama Carlson, Brinke Stevens

"The
battle between the living dead and the undead has begun!" Holy crap! Travis
and his daughter are driving through a zombified America looking for an
old vampire slayer in white beard named The General (not played by Kenny
Rogers). The duo run across Brinke Stevens (hot) who persuades them to
take her daughter Carmilla with them because her other daughter is infected
by a virus and she doesn't want her healthy daughter Carmilla sick as
well. No sign of any battling zombies or vampires yet, though. Maybe it'll
come later. By now we have learned that Carmilla is a vampire seductress
wanted by The General. A goth-girl named Bob then kills a gas-station
owner and then comes The General, thinking that Brinke's sick daughter
is Carmilla so he kidnaps her and then kills her when she turns out to
be homicidal vampire. A zombie then comes driving in a car and is stopped
by Carmilla and Travis and killed with a hook and then Brinke turns up
again, now dressed as a highway patrolman (but still hot). Okey, but give
me my vampire & zombie battle please thank you very much. The making
out in an old asylum and the weird flashbacks I can do without. A squad
of zombie schoolgirls finally attacks and there's some fighting and a
plastic chainsaw, but not much of a battle, and then, well, I'm lost.
The plot has desolved into shit. Based on a story by Sheridan Le Fanu
they say.
The
battle between the living dead and the undead has begun... Yea sure. But
not in this plotless waste of time. Vampires vs Zombies is about
80 minutes long but it took me like forever to get through (had to watch
it in small chunks) and it all came to nothing at all what the title suggests.
I could go on for hours about how bad the movie is (on a technical level
and otherwise), but it's not just bad, it's as if no one even bothered
to make it even that and if it wasn't for the sad fact that I'm comitted
to sit through anything Brinke Stevens is in (admittedly it's not as fun
as it used to be) I probably would have turned the movie off halfway,
but most viewers will probably not even stay with it for ten minutes.
