The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Purely Joyful Movie!

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Professor Abronsius (Jack MacGowran) has been ridiculed for his unusual obsessive research. In snowy Transylvania, he and his dim assistant Alfred (Roman Polanski) stumble upon a village with vampires. They're taken with the beautiful bathing Sarah Shagal (Sharon Tate). She gets bitten and taken. They follow to the castle of Count von Krolock (Ferdy Mayne) which also has his son Herbert and Koukol, the manservant.The version I saw does not have the animated opening sequence. It's a quirky vampire movie. It's not big laughs. It's not in the same league as Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein nor is it trying to be. Although MacGowran has that funny Einstein look. It has the style of those old Hammer Films. It's a bit slapstick but not fully spoof. It's not scary either. It is still very interesting in the uniqueness of its artistic comedy horror blend. It's just not scary nor all that funny. Polanski running around the building ending up at the same place next to the vampire is the funniest bit. Overall, it's more cute than big laughs.

TCM ran The Fearless Vampire Killers (TFVK) the same night that METV ran the Star Trek "Amok Time" (the Spock "pon-farr" kill Spock episode). Both productions are from basically the same year. It is interesting to see both products on the same night. The TV show episode is memorable and the TFVK hardly ever is seen. The answer as to "why this is" is in the script. The Star Trek episode in classic 1967 TV (for all the warts in looking at it back through time); TFVK is as boring as they come.It is asserted that TFVK is a satire of the Hammer Vampire movies. In my life I have seen and enjoyed the Hammer Vampire movies. I had never seen TFVK until now. It took all my might to sit through TFVK to say that I had watched it so that I will never watch it again. As far as satire goes the film is just lame.Futurama has the episode of "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in love?" which is a satire of "Amok Time." The episode is hilarious. "Young Frankenstein" (YF) is a satire of Frankenstein movies. YF is hilarious. TFVK is just flat out boring.While watching TFVK a memory came of reading Joseph Heller's "Something Happened" which is a 400+ page book that should be re-titled "Nothing Happened." At the end of a viewing of TFVK the feeling was that "Nothing Happened" after slogging through a lengthy tome\viewing.Sharon Tate may look very hot in some of the scenes but the scenes are very brief and far and few between. The rest of the movie is filled with a lot of unintelligible jargon spewed by characters who follow "The Idiot Principle" of writing. In the Idiot Principle of writing the characters continue to say and do things that are more stupid than the last thing they did because that is supposedly funny and is the only way to move the plot forward. TFVK follows this conceit in a boring manner until a really stupid climax and denouement occurs.Some have made mention that all that is missing is Benny Hill music. One can see that as the film plays out and it would only have made the movie better to take a direct Benny Hill approach. It would have at least been a little bit more entertaining.Arnold Schwarzenegger said in an interview about "The Last Action Hero" that everyone read the script and thought it was great. Then we made the movie and watched and realized "My God...this is awful! And now we have to go out and sell it!" I suspect those that made and bankrolled TFVK probably experienced similar feelings after the created and watched TFVK. It just isn't really that good.

Tracking their quarry to an elusive mountain village, a professor and his assistant gradually come to learn the entire town is in the grips of a bloodthirsty vampire count and tries to ward him off when he targets a young woman in the village.This here was quite the enjoyable and somewhat better-than-expected effort that has a lot to really like about it. First-and-foremost among the positives here is the absolutely hilarious comedy that appears here, which runs throughout the film with such frequency and consistency that there's plenty of genuine laughs in here. It tends to be a little one-sided here with sheer slapstick resulting from their bungling and ineffectual hunting means here that brings up their near-incompetence in this task which becomes gut-busting as time goes on with how they're going about trying to get their mission accomplished here when they're always stumbling around over everything in their path merely trying to get the most basic commandments of vampire-hunting accomplished. The scenes of them up at the castle are even better, not just because there's more to play with their but almost all of these gags are incredibly fun with the professor getting stuck in the window and having to guide his skittish assistant through a step-by-step process of the finer points on vampire-staking, the truly hilarious slapstick chases throughout the corridors of the castle and the different methods of trying to keep their true intentions at least hidden despite all the occupants fully aware of what they're doing which makes for a truly fun time here with constant gags and spills. Likewise, other fun scenes include the really funny costume ball that features the two of them dressed in traditional garb to blend in and try to rescue their charge while alternating between revealing information about their quest to free her and the escape plans while out in the middle of the crowd only to fully blow their whole cover with the use of a traditional means of vampire lore to cause this to become incredibly funny along with the rising imminent danger along the way. Even other more overt horror scenes here include the vampires' early raids on the village where they abduct the villagers into their ranks and try to thwart his advances against them makes for a fine time here alongside the slapstick means of trying to keep their charges at bay while the main Gothic castle is truly glorious and enchanting with the perfect setting here to conceive of the events within, and overall there's plenty to really love here. About the only true flaw to be found in here is the rather goofy nature of the vampires here with their lavish over-sized fangs that shouldn't possibly be able to be hidden here such is the over-the-top nature of their appearance, and though that truly fits into the realm of the film within here there's little else about them that should've been attempted here what with their sticking out the wrong way here. The comedy as well can be hit-or-miss depending on the mood at the time, but there's still a lot to really like here.Today's Rating/PG-13: Violence.

Roman Polanski directs and stars in this spoof of old-time vampire movies as he plays the assistant of a bat researcher (Jack McGowran) who is intent on discovering vampires in Transylvania. Polanski's character tries to protect the young daughter (Sharon Tate) of an innkeeper from the advances of the local vampire who has been terrorizing the countryside. Ironically, this is the film where Polanski met Tate, who was soon to become his wife, which indirectly led to her being a murder victim herself in the Charles Manson murders. The vampire hunters hunt down the vampire to confront him and save the townspeople, whose number of vampire casual;ties have risen dramatically over the last year. A lot of humorous moments, while also adding some real tension.
