Truly "The best piece of crap you'll ever see", as one of my friends would say.ADV is simply amazing, and KC Jacob's performance is Oscar worthy (*cough*) You have to see this movie - as a joke if nothing else. The one liners are hilariously bad, the budget I believe was in the double digits, and some of the acting was done under the influence.Add that to a great script with the concept of Disco Vampires?!!? Hilarious...I honestly think that if this movie had a serious budget, it would be a classic vampiric-comedy. Well it still is, but a different type of comedy! As of May 2006, it hasn't been picked up for distribution - and that is a shame.

Wow, I finally found this movie on IMDb. I bought this on VHS a couple years ago and I love it. This is a great laughable cheesy movie as I'm sure the makers intended. They don't take anything seriously. This is pure camp. It's not a perfect technically either but I think I read somewhere that his was made for about $7000, so it's understandable that it has a few flaws. I'm sure it would be great with a bigger budget.I won't go into details on the plot, which is a bit complicated and all over the place for such a movie, but oh well. The acting ranges in it as well. I'm sure it was local and volunteer actors. Jarrett Tate who plays the lead and also wrote the movie reminds me a bit of Bruce Campbell from the Evil Dead movies, he has that sort of attitude. The guy that plays Stone is way over the top, but in a funny way.The directing is good too. I don't know why these guys haven't made any more movies.My tape broke so I've been looking for this on DVD but can't find it. I recommend this for anyone who likes old B movies in the vein of Roger Corman and others. Don't expect high art here. Just sit back and laugh.

This is a wonderfully fun movie created by a production company of bold film students. Story has it these young filmmakers didn't wait for Hollywood to call. They got together and created Hollywood right in their own backyards.Avenging Disco Vampires tells the story of 2 crooks who find themselves unwittingly a part of the rumble between two rival vampire gangs. To take this film seriously would be a mistake. It is intentionally campy and marinates happily in its low-budget splendor. Albeit a tad long, it has enough entertainment and talent to keep you interested. Highlights include Carus Waggoner's portrayal of Free Love - the leader of the gang called the Bloods; an exploding, roller-skating vampire named Hott Wheelz; and a tribute to disco dance inside of a barn.Jacob and Frank, the unlikely heroes are played well by the two lead actors and the off-kilter Vampire hunter is mind-bogglingly odd. There are a variety of interesting characters throughout this film and the contrast between the disco vampires and the more Gothic Crypts is well done with lighting, costume and characterization.Don your bell bottoms and sequins and grab some popcorn!
