31 Days of Horror Challenge: Movie #14<\/p>\n

Zero is\u00a0bored with his existence and his “family,” Alko, Laura, and Kiddo. \u00a0He has spent decades trying to build up a tolerance for at least a few moments of sunlight by watching the sunrise over the Pacific. \u00a0Recently, he \u00a0has been watching Corri, an exotic dancer who also turns\u00a0tricks at the nightclub, Club Vampire, and single mother. \u00a0In watching her, he senses her loneliness and hopes she can help him remember how to feel alive. \u00a0When Laura visits Corri at the nightclub, she gets carried away, accidentally killing and turning Corri. \u00a0When the rest of the family finds out, they want to dispose of Corri, but Zero chooses to protect her. \u00a0<\/p>\n

This film had the dubious honor of being the lowest rated movie (according to IMDb) I owned, until I picked up Attack of the Jurassic Shark. \u00a0The story isn’t that bad, it’s about what you’d expect from something produced by Roger Coreman, a little on the cheesy side. \u00a0The club scenes are intended to be surreal, but the wavery camera angles are overly artistic, too frequent, and simply distracting. \u00a0The camera effects are not effective, bordering on causing motion sickness. \u00a0The make-up is hit \u00a0or really miss. \u00a0There are a couple of great practical effects scenes in this piece though. \u00a0The music falls short of effective.<\/p>\n

The highlights include John Savage, as the twitchy Zero with his mad soliloquies; Starr Andreeff, as the jaded Corri; and just because she’s in a couple other schlocky films around this time, Diana Frank, as Laura. \u00a0The costuming, at least for the club scenes, is nice.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to go so far as to say this movie is good, it certainly isn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen. \u00a0I’m glad I found it, I thought it was worth the watch.
