TheLittleSongbird If I were to devise a top 10 of the worst ever Asylum movies, Way of the Vampire would almost certainly towards the top of that list. That's how dreadful it is. It is really amateurish-looking, with settings like look like people's basements, camera work so shaky and fragmented that it'd probably set off an epileptic fit and special effects and make-up as artificial as you can go. In terms of costumes, think of a Halloween costume complete with some fangs and the like and there you go. Audibly it is just as so, with really bizarre and overly-loud sound effects and music that doesn't fit at all with the movie, almost as if there had been a last minute story change and they had no time to think of a new soundtrack, or even worse that they weren't even trying to make things mesh with one another. The dialogue is some of the most banal you'll ever hear, that is when you can hear it that is, the story was a predictable idea in the first place but made even worse by the unacceptably senseless and often aimless(too much filler not enough atmosphere) telling of it and the characters are obnoxious stereotypes. The gore looks cheap and does nothing at all to enhance any scene they appear in, which are further let down by poor editing and clumsy direction anyway. The combat was really abysmally choreographed, no tension and often ridiculously over-simplistic. The acting is atrocious, even from Rhett Giles, who has given decent performances before but is way over-the-top here that it is painful to watch him. Overall, where to begin to describe the awfulness of Way of the Vampire? You think of something, I'm not wasting my time any more even talking about it. 0/10 Bethany Cox

peterh-23 While no "Way of the Teamsters" (the better prequel in this trillogy) this film offers a cinematic expose into the dark and gloomy world the undead.I wont spoil the many plot twists, many of which were hard to follow, especially since I saw the movie dubbed in Turkish while recovering from lasic eye surgery. However, you won't be disappointed with cliché contemporary romantasisms of secret populations of super powered beings living side by side of modern civillization locked in a perpetual war of which the mundane humans are mostly unaware except for some secret fraternal organization dedicated to eradication of the supernatural.I recommend this movie for any serious VHS collection.

frankfob There's not much I can add to all the other reviewers' comments, which were--if anything--too kind. This is the movie Ed Wood would have made if he had a competent cameraman, because the cinematography is actually very good, which is the only--let me emphasize, absolutely the ONLY--good thing about the movie. Otherwise, this is one of the few films I've ever seen where you can't point to at least one aspect of it and say, "Well, at least that wasn't too bad"--because EVERYTHING about this film is bad. Not just bad, but atrociously, horrendously, brain-destroyingly bad. Acting, writing, "action" scenes, etc., have to strain mightily to reach the level of the Christmas play in which you played a candy cane back in third grade--and they don't succeed. Much has already been written about the shoddy-beyond-belief sound, and there's nothing I can add to that except to say that the producers' unwillingness to hire a competent sound man, which resulted in much of the dialog being unintelligible, is one of the few things they did right.All in all, a virtually worthless movie. Although there's a fair amount of female nudity, it's really not worth sitting through this stinker to check it out (jeez, I can't believe I just discouraged guys from ogling naked chicks; if that doesn't give you an idea of how much this flick sucks, then nothing will). If tenth-rate swill churned out by incompetent, talentless slugs is your cup of tea, even you won't like this movie. Avoid it at all costs.

russem31 Unlike David Latt's War of the Worlds, this film by the aforementioned producer, Bram Stokers' Way of the Vampire, is a very sub-par film. At least with War of the Worlds, there were some acceptable performances and superb visual effects. This film had nothing more than an anemic (to use a "blood" term) script, with below-average dialogue. The acting was atrocious on almost every front. The production design budget also seemed to be lacking (unlike War of the Worlds which looked professional at least). Hmm, what else, before I forget what I watched? The sound - I could NOT hear almost half the dialogue been said - because the music (the score which suspiciously sounds a lot like War of the Worlds - surprise) and effects were turned up to completely drown out the inferior dialogue (perhaps this was intentional?) One positive thing I can say is that Mr. Latt knows how to turn out product, and one should keep in mind that this is a low budget film. Therefore, it isn't a bomb, but I can't give it more than 4 out of 10 stars.
