Decadent Evil (2005)

Overrated

Expected more

An Exercise In Nonsense

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

A female vampire leads a covey of vampire stripper babes. They get their victims from the strip club, one line, and call girls. A midget Van Helsing, who knows the ins and outs of this particular blood line, is after them. One of the vampires has a human bf that she doesn't kill. There is also Marvin, a weird foot tall bloody creature who looks like something out of the Puppet Master series. The first kill involves a real classy guy who takes his reluctant girl friend to a strip joint and gets her a lap dance. The movie is so corny it is funny. A good one to watch stoned. Not much horror.Hardcore porn star Harmony Rose provides the nudity in a weird scene with Marvin.

I've always had a soft spot for Full Moon Productions. They are cheesy light hearted horror films with a certain charm about them that have kicked off several major horror franchises.Though the acting is usually poor and the sfx dreadful I have to say I do far prefer creature features over modern CGI driven drivel.Here is a vampire tale and the whole thing despite being modern for a Full Moon Production movie feels like a true loyal one of their films and holds all of the original charm.Don't get me wrong Decadent Evil is hardly a good film but it has it's qualities if you take the time to look.I mean for a start besides the usual Full Moon charm we have the excellent Phil Fondacaro in a role that is frighteningly similar to his in the Tales From The Crypt movie Bordello Of Blood (1996). Ontop of that we have a decent enough storyline and slightly above par cast.Again I know it's cheesy, I know it's really not exactly a good film alike any of Full Moons stuff but it's a neat throwback to the VHS days and that to me is a good thing.The film also contains one of the most unusual sex scenes in cinema history. Comparable to Team America World Police (2004) and that's all I'm going to say.Dumb but harmless fun and a welcome addition to Full Moons horror library.

According to the commentary this movie was filmed in 6 days, and it is evident that six days was 5 days too long. Its rare for the sex and nudity in a B movie to not lower the overall quality of the film, but even this was of below average quality (I used to think there was no such thing as "bad" sex and "bad" nudity, but this movie proved me wrong on both issues). I was surprised that the entire cast and production crew was listed using their actual names; I fully expected to see that "Alan Smithee" was responsible for every role. I finally found a movie that makes SuperTwink (Howard Stern's Wack Pack production)entertaining. If you do watch this movie, be sure to stay for the commentary as it is better acted, better produced, and has a superior plot than the movie itself.

First, anyone who knew Full Moon Pictures know that these were B-movies made with limited funding. Their more for entertainment using horror, comedy, sexy situations or whatever else keeps them selling or renting. This picture is from Wizard Entertainment(Charles Band's new Co.) It's short, low budget, and a quick release that just came out to let old F.M. fans know that their back in business. I found it humorous and well directed for about an hour long quick flick. If you can't handle B movies, move on to something else. Besides that, remember that for a small company, Full Moon released probably a few hundred releases which about half are becoming available on DVD's. (FINALLY) Don't forget the great pictures Mr.Band was involved with such as: Puppet Master series, Subspecies, Castle Freak, Re-animator, From Beyond, etc., So you can see that for a B movie making firm they had some success in the horror and sci-fi genre. Well i'm glad for one to see Mr. Band and company back in business. Long live Full Moon Fans!
