I'm not sure how to rate this movie
jamesrpatton-422221 August 2019
This is one of those movies that is so bad it can be entertaining. You need to be in the mood but if you like to see terrible acting, bad makeup, and uncomfortable sex scenes, you will enjoy this film. The lead vampire is ridiculous. His makeup and hair, along with his forced version of a dark and sultry voice, was hilarious. He looked like he was wearing bondage gear he bought off Wish. The dialogue was hilarious with the actors delivering lines like they were reading a pharmaceutical insert. AND those sex scenes....... everyone appeared bored and sloppy like androids trying to be seductive but having no idea what they were doing. I'm giving this film a 5 because if I wanted super bad full of laughs, I'd say a 10. If I was looking for a vampire flick that was not a total waste of time, I'll give it a 1.

Shot-on-video vampire nonsense
Leofwine_draca15 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
LORD OF THE VAMPIRES is a shot-on-video vampire indie flick from Los Angeles. It's really terrible, very much a poor man's Anne Rice style production, with a vampire overlord and his beautiful brides wreaking havoc down the centuries. The plot is set in the present day when the situation is complicated by mystery surrounding some new victims. It's a bargain basement production, featuring lots of unconvincing and dated sex scenes and not much else aside from a few gothic trappings. There are a few twists here and there but little to get excited about.

Just awful!
lordsantiago29 October 2006
I can't help but wonder if the other people who gave good reviews for the film, were part of the crew. Don't be fooled readers, this film was terrible. A mate and I watched it last night. Being fans of vampire films, we've seen a lot. Don't get me wrong. I've seen dozens of low budget vampire films that I think run rings around huge budget vampire films. A films budget shouldn't hinder a good movie as long as the actors are good and the story line is sound.

If you want to make an original vampire film, don't get out a successful vampire flick and copy it. Just hire this piece of trash and see all the things you shouldn't do. The vampire makeup made us laugh every time the lead vampire Victor came on the screen. He wore a black T-shirt with what could only be a sex bondage harness over the top. His makeup was white paint on his face and red lips. It finished under his chin and went up his jaw line. His neck,arms and hands left a natural tanned colour making this him look like a gay mime instead of a threatening vampire.

The story was 3 vampires, Victor and his two brides have lived together for years. The two females bring losers home from bars and basically feed upon them in their home. 3 bandits rob a gas station and the robbery goes wrong so they take a hostage. One of the bandits gets shot in the knee with a shot gun, limps around a bit, but manages to walk it off later in the film {Reader: please roll eyes now} Anyway the bandit's car breaks down and they have to find a place close by. They find a house which happens to be the home of the 3 vampires...... A truly awful film. Opening credits {sex scene} Losers at a bar gets picked up by one of the vampire chicks and go back to her place. They 2 female vampire comes along and the loser from the bar thinks he's gone to heaven. {Sex scene} Victor comes long and he drinks from the losers heart and get it on with one of the females vampires{sex scene} You can see where this film is going. I think we counted 9 sex scenes all up and each one seemed to drag on for ages. The film went for 90 minutes, so it that really didn't leave much time for any quality story or acting. At lest it made me laugh, but for all the wrong reasons..

slick, magnetic horror
indyaddict-119 February 2004
Just watched "Lord of the Vampires" & agree with previous excited reviews. I'm no expert on technical aspects, but whatever they did it came together great! VERY atmospheric & well cast. From the moment Viktor appeared, I was hooked--absolutely riveted by Jack Wareing as the vampire lord. It's been called cheesy, (and it is,but in the coolest way) but there are some real keepers coming out of this. A mixture of classic B-horror & sick drawing room innuendo.Definitely check it out.

Loved it!
anna_suddeth28 August 2006
If nothing else for the fact They use ABNEY Park's Music!! If you haven't heard of them check them out, They have a musky, hot, sexy sound that is a little Goth, a little punk , but definitely different. Old world sound meets modern instruments. They have a MY Space page as well as a website.

It's a good old fashioned CRUNCHY Vampire movie! Seriously, This is one of those movies you kind of HAVE to see..Like a right of passage. Breakfast club, Sixteen candles, Lord of the Vampires. Ya know? Definitely a good one, Check it out. It's Sexy, really really sexy. It as the element of testosterone, high action, writhing vampires.

hey hollywood!...this is what you call a vampire move!!
skarletdevil18 December 2003
I wasn't expecting much from this when I ran across a friend's DVD of LORD OF THE VAMPIRES...(but hey I'm a sucker for most all vampire flix)....But this has got to be the craziest mix of criminals,vampires sex,blood,and some excellent gore!!....The girls in this movie are petty hot and can surprisingly all manage to give good performances.I really liked the atmosphere on alot of the interior shots..it looks like it was shot on at least 16mm....and the guy who plays the VAMPIRE LORD rocks!(he doesn't work,sits in a throne,and has all the sex he wants..and still complains..lol)Seriously though if you get a chance to see this do it...I think Sub Rosa is putting it out....I give it 9 out 10 stars

These reviews are pretty hilarious and fake.
KirkFogg9 March 2019
I feel like the oddly glowing reviews for this movie were definitely written by cast, crew, or members of the band that was featured in this movie. Make no mistake, this is one of the worst movies ever made. In that aspect, it's incredible. If you're a fan of D or even F class horror movies that also moonlight as soft core porn, this is one of the many treats that can be found on Amazon Prime. It's shot on what I can only assume was a mini DV handicam and the audio is so garbled and wrecked that all you can hear is the very silly music. Again, I loved it.

Great performance in horror film
sonicfusion4 February 2003
The one thing that stands out in this horror film is the performance of Kristen Lueck as "Amanda" - although she is restrained by the limits of the film's subject matter and script, the viewer has no doubt that she is talented and destined for bigger and better roles.
