Malcolm B I saw this film a long time ago on TV, but definitely enjoyed it. The film has an engaging mix of dark humour and sexual tension running throughout. The script, though nothing spectacular, is well written and keeps the viewer entertained. This film deserves at least 7/10 and I rate it 8/10. The average rating (after 70+ reviews) of under 6/10 is, I think, unfair and I suspect many reviewers either did not 'get' the humour, or were not paying attention to the nuances of the script. I definitely recommend this film for bedtime entertainment. If you enjoyed this film, I would also recommend the film 'Split Second' starring Rutger Hauer.
MissAnnThorpe I was actually shocked with how much I enjoyed this movie, most horror movie spoofs tend to be laughably dumb. Nightlife manages to escape that fate by actually having an original story. An old world vampire tries to adjust to the twenty first century and escape her psycho ex boyfriend who just happens to be Vlad the Impaler. The cast is great, Ben Cross does a wonderful job as Vlad he plays the character as straight as if it was a horror movie not a comedy. He's actually kinda scary and that makes the hilarious reactions from the other characters seem genuine and even funnier!I love this movie and highly recommend it for a great laugh!
sm789 Nightlife has some of the most literate dialogue I've encountered in a movie in a long time. From beginning to end, the scenes are clever and funny. The writers have a very droll sense of humour and do a great job of spoofing the vampire genre. The casting was excellent, and Maryam d'Abo and Ben Cross with their British accents in a movie set in Mexico only adds to the funny quality of the film; Camille Saviola as Rosa the maid is hilarious.
Lo-Baby I saw this movie when it first came out on the USA network, and it really made an impression on me. Ben Cross was perfectly cast as Vlad (later, he was the perfect Barnabus Collins on the short-lived prime-time revival of Dark Shadows), and the supporting cast of "Nightlife" did a fine job as well (in particular, Maryam d'Abo and Keith Szarabajka).***POSSIBLE SLIGHT SPOILER*** I think my favorite thing about this movie was the way it was written. Not only was it written with a lot of humour, it's very intelligent as well. Dr. Zuckerman's solution to Angelique's need for blood was brilliant: She doesn't just need blood, she needs the rush that comes from taking blood from someone in an absolute panic. Dr. Zuckerman realizes that he needs to inject her with epinephrine (a drug similar to adrenaline used for asthma patients) to satisfy that craving as well.If you have the opportunity to see this movie, I highly recommend that you do so. Me? I'm going to buy it.9/10
