I have a thing for bad movies and punk new wave (I'm older school) music. So this movie has both. The cast is a little below average with many really trying too hard (particularly Michael Anthony Panella). The sets very amateurish and the dialogue is childish. I do like the realistic attitude of a band that wants to succeed and willing to overlook a record company executive that doesn't even remotely appear legitimate.

I could do without the bondage scenes, as they don't really add to the story. They could have used the actors in those roles as additional bar patrons, it may have made the sets a little more realistic.

As to the vampiric "attacks" they really spilled more than they drank. Each attack has over indulging blood spirts to the point most of the blood is spilled. If the attacks are for some pleasure, that would have added to the terror of the victims. As it was the victims gush blood without even the attacker present. Is this a new kind of vampire that kills and doesn't feed? I don't know but I watched it for the music and enjoyed that.

I went into this film with low expectations, as I had already read the real reviews prior the inappropriate votes being cast (you know who you are, otherwise you wouldn't have deleted my prior review). This movie was so awful I couldn't wait for it to end. Sure the music was cool, but this is supposed to be a horror movie, not some mega-music video compilation. The special effects were straight out of the 8th grade, the acting could have been better if they had scoured the local High School, and the story was so thin as to be non-existent. Sure, there were a couple of hotties in it, but that doesn't mean they can act (which they can't).

Let's talk special effects... hmm, let's see... there was a tube you could see each time someone got their throat ripped out (maybe they wanted you to think it was the jugular), more blood than the body can hold (and all of it dark red going to the brain???), people squirming and talking long after their throats were ripped open (yeah, all that blood loss and they're still coherent and lucid???), stick-on vampire teeth (Very cheesy. Why didn't you pick up the $50 ones that at least look a little realistic?), makeup that looked to be left to the actors/actresses(?); i.e., no extra effort here just the basic Goth look, and the CGI... god! This was just plain horrendous in a mid-90's sort of look; i.e., blocky, no shading, and ugly.

Shame, shame, shame on you Cleopatra Records, for releasing this poor excuse for a horror movie on us. It doesn't even rate to be in the low-low-low B flick range, let alone as high as it appears to be here. If you really have to check it out, look for it in your local Wal-Mart's $1 bin here in a few months. If you just can't be without the music, for Christ's sake, please just listen to the bands you enjoy and avoid this agonizingly painful 1.5 hour flop (or get the sound track).

BTW I've ordered many CD's from Cleopatra in the past, even used to faithfully check out the video compilations they used to provide, but this one was ready for the grave once they cast the no-skill actors chosen, skimped on lighting effects, and went for cheesy-to-no special effects. Music doesn't a good movie make.

You've been warned.

BTW Please describe what abuse this report has to me before asking to have it removed, otherwise it will simply be posted again and again; I have loads of time, do you? Must've struck a nerve.

Just like Simon says.

"If you are a fan of this band, this is a must have DVD, if you are looking for Oscar award winning material you are in the wrong place. I liked the 'vampy' style, yes I did mean that. The obviously fake blood, the heavy thumping bass, and the really interesting 'special' effects makes for a great 2 hours of fun. This is not a movie, and yet it is not a concert, I am not sure how you would 'pigeon hole' this one. It sure is fun tho.

The concept behind this movie is a version of American Idol, several bands are trying to win a recording contract. The big difference with this contest is that all of the bands are Goth. It turns out that the sponsor of the event, the 'less than above board' Gotham Records are a bunch of blood sucking vampires, one by one they are literally eliminating the contestants.

Oscar winner it may not be, but fun romp it certainly is. Gina DeVettori and Kristen Zaik offer up a fine performance as the Management Company. If you are looking for some 'Goth' exposure, you can get it from MVD." Gotta second this! Great film!

A goth and vamp film.

This film is about Gothem Records Executives scoping out Goth bands to sign a record deal and then feasting on them. Gothem records is where every Goth band wants to be so they jump at any chance to sign with them not knowing what they are getting into.

I viewed this film with no expectations as I do all low budget horror films. From the looks of the film it was definitely a lower budget production/DV, they used a LOT of fake blood, the outdated animations were lame but the film kept my interests and the leads Anastasia and Draven did a good job.

If you don't enjoy goth music and/or vampires then this film most likely won't be for you but the music rocked and the chicks were hot. I dug it!

A movie or old MTV music video? Not sure what Gothic Vampires From Hell wants to be. The goth band Gothic Vampires From Hell competes in a battle of the bands (a goth battle) and offered a record deal from the owner of Gotham Records (Annastasia Nightshade). Gotham Records is represented by the owner the gorgeous Annastasia and 2 of her sexy companions Jasmine and Fawn. As it turns out they all happen to be blood sucking vampires.

It is a fun concept and the actors actually do a decent job, Annastasia glows in her role but it's all terribly low budget. In the opening credits there are a number of misspellings, they use buckets of blood and in one scene you can see the tube as the blood gushes out, they use triangles break out of the screen as a transition as if this is not enough to mention. If you enjoy seeing low budget cheesy horror movies and like goth music, you will likely enjoy some of this film.

This movie was *the* worst horror movie I've ever seen, but it was amazingly fun to watch. Get a bottle of vodka and/or some smokes, a few friends, and be prepared to laugh your ass off.

The Goth music is actually rather good, and there are some hot girls in the movie...but there is next to no plot, horrible special effects (they spelled it "specail" in the credits), and the fake fangs are so bad that the vampires *lisp* when they were them. This is not a B horror movie- it's not even a C movie. It's practically BELOW an F! I had so much fun watching this movie that I actually plan to buy it on Ebay or something to show at parties. If you're looking for a movie to scare you or creep you out, this is not it. But if you're looking for a great time and a movie that will make you laugh your ass off because it's so bad, you'll love this.
