Night Fangs (2005)

Touches You

Please don't spend money on this.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I picked up Night Fangs out of the Poundshop - it was worth every penny.Two lesbian art teachers are obsessed with the legend of Elizabeth Bathory and get it into their heads to bathe in some blood in order to become immortal. After their first experiment fails, they obtain Bathory's diary and realise that they need the blood of a virgin to complete the ritual. Good job they've got a class of youngsters to choose from, eh?Night Fangs is a cheap and cheerful shot-on-digital vampire film that starts off slowly but then heads off into Salem's Lot territory. It has faults, and a lot of continuity errors, but I forgive that because the people involved here have managed to create a pretty good film with plenty of gore and nudity to keep you going. Some of the acting is a bit clunky (amongst the younger actors) but I'd say job well done to director Islas, with further point added for having the lead actress having real bodies as opposed to the silicone enhanced barbie dolls we're used to seeing.I don't even like vampire films that much, but I liked this one.

Night Fangs really caught me by surprise because I am normally not a vampire movie fan. I purchased the film (at a discounted price)and felt that I really had nothing to lose... I gained an indie treasure! First off, sure it is a low budget horror feature, so of course some of the acting is going to be stiff, but I found the story to be original and the style of the film to be that of the classic 1970's gore flicks (which I love!)... Writer/Director Ricardo Islas makes it known from the beginning that he plans to throw as much blood, guts, boobs & butts at us as humanly possible. His own character, that of the "Professor" added a comical side note to the film that brought me back to Tony Shalhoub's "Antonio Scarpacci" character from the TV show "Wings"... Anyone who enjoys the above, will certainly enjoy this film. I look forward to seeing more from Islas.

Wow, there's a few harsh reviews for a fun movie, can't help wonder if it's personal.. Maybe someone thought she could act better than the chosen leads? Which leads me into my review! We rented this for a Halloween weekend Indie horror flick fest. I thought it was quick gory fun, with all the staples of your lesbian vampire flick. (If you don't know what that is check out any of the Hammer films, Caress of a Vampire, Vampyres Lesbos, etc.) The story seems to run on a little long in points, but then you get the payoff scene which gave it a mini-series feel at times. The actresses weren't Judi Dench caliber but it's a vampire flick. I especially like the casting of a full-figured woman for the lead. (To many cheerleader hookers in horror flicks these days.) They carried the material well, and the material was just enough story to setup and tie together the action, which is what the film was about- violence and gore! Good fun, and perfect for a Halloween weekend viewing.

I think the guy who wrote the comment that is posted wouldn't know a good horror flick if it bit him on the behind. I loved Night Fangs. And wouldn't you know,it is a low budget film. I thought the actors,setting, and storyline were all very good! If the first ten minutes were a waist of time why would you continue to watch it? I thought the director,Ricardo Islas, did a fantastic job with this movie. Adding Elizabeth Bathory into this film also added a touch of history. Judging by the cover of this movie you can already tell that it isn't something off of the history channel. This is a movie about Vampires! So if you are looking for a movie that is lame, with no gore, or if your looking for something that is a waist of time, then your looking in the wrong place. Night Fangs has everything your looking for in a Vampire movie.
