I have seen Vampirella several times on cable and if you can't understand why it's not a cult-classic, since it was done under the helm of Roger Corman and had a colorful cast and has become a forgotten piece of cinema. Here's why....
First, Talisa Soto is miscast as the main character, Vampirella. She's a lean, mean model, when the role calls for a more thick, heavy, voluptuous woman like a Sofia Vergara. Not to mention, Soto has Asian features when the character is more tilted to Latin or Italian lineage .
Second, There's no nudity. There is only a brief seen of breasts, other than that, there are no bare bums whatsoever. Vampirella never takes off that awful red suit. That type of red is just plain loud.
Third, the execution of the film comes off slow and plagued. Nothing seems to flow. A Cult-comic character desires a Cult-classic film to honor it. But, this cinema version of Vampirella insults the comic version and does it more harm than good.
If anyone decides to make another film on Vampirella, they should keep in mind that a full figure actress would be better as Vampirella. Put her in more skimpier attire and make damn sure she gets naked on a few occasions. Also, make sure the action flows and doesn't get stale. Just some friendly advice so history doesn't repeat itself.
Vampirella should be a classic. Instead, it's a dud so bad, it's not worth defending. 4/10 stars.
