    What we say
    Lots of bark, but not nearly enough biting lesbians

    Patrick Tangye, MovieFix  
    2.5 star rating
    The latest entry into the subgenre of lesbian vampire movies, this bawdy pulp horror film holds no pretences as to what it is trying to do: show a bit of blood, boobs and lesbianism.

    Jimmy Maclaren (Mathew Horne) and best mate Fletch (James Corden) are on a leisurely walking holiday when they find themselves stuck in a remote cottage with a campervan full of very sexy foreign female students inside, and a horde of very hungry lesbian vampires outside. According to legend, Camilla the Lesbian Vampire Queen placed a curse on the village in which the cottage belongs which enslaved all local women to become lesbian vampires once they turn 18.

    This is most definitely pulp horror at its best. It is cheesy, cliched, and full to the brim of references to films that have gone before it, such as "Evil Dead 2" and "The Lost Boys". The acting is bearable, with the funniest character being Fletch by far. His one-liners and reluctance to do anything but drink and pick up a young, hot, foreign student is the highlight of the film.

    It is also easy to see the influence other (and funnier) British comedians Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have had, but it is a shame that this film never came close to reaching the levels of comedy or social satire as "Shaun of the Dead".

    What was also disappointing was the fact that the lesbianism implied in the title was severely lacking - there were maybe two scenes in which this was displayed. And for a film purely aimed at young men drawn to the idea of lesbian vampires, it is a fairly big omission.

    This is a film most definitely targeted at young men who hope to catch a glimpse of gore and bare breasts, and it will never amount to anything else.
