The Death That Awaits – review

Director: Richard J. Lee

Release date: 2024

Contains spoilers

The biggest spoiler would seem to be that this is a vampire film. The IMDb blurb says “A drifter searching for answers to a mystery from her past takes on a job looking after a sick teen who is undergoing a mysterious transformation her family will do anything to stop.” However, the poster (on Tubi) looks clearly either vampire or werewolf (at the transformation start).

More than this, although the V word is never used, it becomes evidently clear that the film is a vampire film very early on. The mystery is more around the drifter, Cassie (Katya Martín), and her past.

So it starts in a darkened house where husband, Reese (Ron Yuan, Night Hunter), is speaking in hush tones to his wife, Angela (Sharon Gardner), about her staying *there* with daughter Nina (Megan Lawless). We see a close low angle of Nina as she comes into the room, asking for mom, blood on her nails.

Cassie and Nina

Cassie is in a rideshare to a very out of the way house with no cell service. She answered an ad and is coming to be the companion to Nina and meets Angela at the house. Nina is ill, she is told, and suffers from night terrors. She is to be her companion through the day but leave and lock the house at night – Angela has promised Nina some autonomy, but she has been known to sleepwalk, hence locking. At night Cassie will use the guest cottage. The first night there is screaming and smashing coming from the main house. Cassie also sees the figure of a man, Jeremy (Cooper Devaney), who seems to glitch into her view – she says not now and he does vanish.

finding a stake

In the morning she enters the house and there has been some damage. She goes to see Nina and a chest falls from above, which Nina catches one-handed before it hits Cassie – in a show of strength. That day Nina has a Doctor’s appointment and her brother, Micah (Tim Gabriel) picks her up for it (Nina wearing dark glasses and covered against the sun). Later we hear that the Doctor is called Dr V (Paul Johansson, Berserker: Hell’s Warrior & Van Helsing) – the name being a tad unsubtle. Cassie cleans and repairs when Nina is out and finds binding ropes and a wooden stake (I said the genre was fairly obvious).

finding Jeremy's journal

So the girls become closer, with Cassie seeming to encourage rule breaking. Jeremy, it turns out, was a friend who had died. For some reason Cassie finds his journal in a secret cupboard in the guest cottage and, whilst answered at the end, this is a significant jolt in the storytelling at the time that feels strange and disjointed. However, it is clear that Cassie knows what is going on with Nina and, whilst the character has more than she is telling going on, it begs a question (unanswered) as to whether the disease of vampirism is a known thing in the world or if the protagonists only know because of personal exposure.

daylight attire

The lore is patchy and, in some areas, underexplored. Mirrors, for instance – we see Nina sat before a mirror and it glitches (a bit like Jeremy glitching into view). This could indicate something around vampiric perception – though she does not appear to be looking at it when it happens. Later she smashes a mirror with her head, off screen, as she couldn’t see herself in it. Sunlight can both weaken and hurt (hence there is an aversion to it) unless fed (it appears), where fire, staking and decapitation kill.

beat the V away

A bite turns (it is claimed) though Nina had bitten Micah without turning him before the start of the film. Nina has been to doctors most all her life, suggesting it is also a congenital condition perhaps. Dr V is trying to cure her by making her act human, forcing sunlight exposure daily, raising body temperature (in the shower), not eating meat (she mentions realising she has bitten the head of a rodent at night when out of control) and literally trying to beat the V out of her – this came across as commenting on real world extreme “cures” (read abuse) for things from sexuality to neurodiversity. It wasn’t perfectly clear but he mentions the danger of drinking the wrong blood and it seems drinking (or having put into the body) vampire blood fully awakens the condition.

Tim Gabriel as Micah

The film relies on the two lead actresses, and they have a chemistry enough to carry their sections. The family dynamics could have done with more expansion and character development – especially Micah, who kind of fell into a villain (and wannabe rapist) mode without enough development to make it anything less than a stereotype. The vampire condition could have done with more background too but overall this was a competent flick and, whilst not perfect, the filmmakers have plenty to build on moving forward. 6 out of 10.

Bite School – review

Director: James Balsamo

Release date: 2015

Contains spoilers

This is not a good film, by that I mean as a piece of cinema it does not rank particularly high. However, it doesn’t try to rank high either. This film is about director and star James Balsamo (Macabre Pair of Shorts & Bloodsucka Jones Vs the Creeping Death) having fun and hanging out with a whole bunch of cult genre stars, metal musicians and porn stars (another horror appearance for Ron Jeremy). As such do not expect high art, cinematic competence or a high score. However, don’t judge it harshly on the score I give either – when taken as it is, this is a beer and pizza special.

James Balsamo meeting Ron

The story is pretty darn simple but I should mention the off-kilter Robert Palmer rip-off theme, Addicted to Blood, over colourful animation. Anyway, Tony Canoni (Balsamo) is an obnoxious multi-billionaire (actually his status vacillated between billionaire and millionaire) who is suddenly announced as broke. His girlfriend cookie (Sarah Martin) immediately dumps him and his grandfather (Herschell Gordon Lewis) declares him cut off until he gets his GED.

meeting at night school

He moves to New York, blows what money he has left at a strip club and desperately tries to borrow money from whatever person he can. He comes across George (Paul Fears) being shaken down by the Lesbian Mafia (who George owes money to), saves him and ends up staying on his couch. In return for the couch space Tony will pay off George’s debt… once they get their GEDs. Also in the mix is Vicky (Mandy Cat Kitana) a bored vampire who lives with an Hawaiian shirt wearing bat named Spat, and who decides to go to night school also.

Edward X. Young as Cladu

Vicky is the daughter of Count Cladu (Edward X. Young, Mr Hush & Mr Hush Legacy), who expects her to take her legacy as ruler and priestess of the night – which she has no interest in. There are also a load of misfit characters appearing through the film who come together at the end including ambitious vampire Veronica (Veronica Freeman) and Vinny the Vampire Slayer (Frank Mullen), who has a stake firing case that might have come straight out of El Mariachi if it had been a vampire film. 

covered in blood

So, the story is fractured, the humour often based on gross out or Tony being obnoxious but it works because the guys in it are having fun. The effects vary – the two headed bat/snake monster is strange to say the least, we get beheadings galore more often concentrating on neck stump rather than head, and quite a large amount of fake blood. There are a trio of priests and one has a dual flying guillotine that looks nothing like it should and doesn’t try to. The sound mix is, frankly, terrible. 3 out of 10 is probably fair but the film punches above that weight simply because of the fun being had.

Sunset Society – review

Directors: Phoebe Dollar & Rolfe Kanefsky

Release date: 2018

Contains spoilers

This is a film of two parts, if not halves, with an original film directed by Phoebe Dollar as the centre piece to a wraparound directed by Rolfe Kanefsky. The wraparound was filmed in 2017. The rest of the film must have been shot in, or some time before, 2015 as it features the iconic Lemmy Kilmister. However, it isn’t particularly a visual treat and, whilst it was meant to be filmed on camcorders etc, this is an issue.

The wraparound on the other hand contains much better quality photography, a shocking gore scene and animations that I thought were pretty darn poor – but there was no other way to get Lemmy into the later shot film, of course, after his sad passing.

animated Lemmy

So, we start off with that aforementioned animation and this shows us Ace (Lemmy), we get a recited poem and then the Ace playing poker, throwing down the Ace of Spades – what else – and the opponents sprouting fangs. He takes care of them but has been bitten and the spilt drop of vampire blood in his whiskey ensures he turns. We then cut across to modern times…

pick up

Out of his sports car comes Charlie (Ben Stobber) with two ‘catholic school girls’, Belinda (Sarah Nicklin, the Sins of Dracula, Chupacabra Territory & Lesser of 2 Evils) and Becky (Catherine Annette). They go in the house and he calls for Sophia (Phoebe Dollar, Blood Sisters) and then leads them down to his den. However, when they enter the room, there is a man, Mr Cross (Robert Donavan) sat waiting for Charlie. Cross is human but his henchmen Burton (Josh Fallon) and Ike (Aaron Groben) are vampires.

gory scene

Charlie is taken and tied to an ornate cross (which burns his back) and Ike eye mojos the two girls and takes them up to a bedroom. The film makes sure we see that he casts no reflection (we’ll return to that). Charlie is tortured to make him give up a video, which Cross assumes he has. The film is of the Sunset Society/vampires and we get a flashback of a similar attack on Frankie (Ron Jeremy) in which we find out that religious symbols hurt as per denomination of the vampire – so a Star of David drawn in marker on Burton’s hand burns the Jewish Frankie. Meanwhile Ike has the girls amuse each other and then choses Becky, turns into mist, enters her in that form and turns into human again, bursting through her torso in a rather sfx effective gory scene.

Lemmy as Ace

Phobie appears and she has the DVD – indeed, Charlie knew nothing of it. She actually produced it for Ace, as she used to be Ace's girl. Most of the rest of the film is them watching the disc and… well, as well as being badly filmed and low quality, it is pretty much story-light and turgid. Ace is the leader of the Sunset Society, ruling from a mansion (with drawn establishing shots of the building). Two of his vampires are the primary focus of the film. Gage (Tracii Guns) plays a vampire who keeps buggering up the rules (for instance turning a girl without permission) and Daggar (Dizzy Reed) is a bored vampire who possesses a human to be mortal again. Ace is so languid in his authority one wonders why he bothers.

careless reflection

There is little offered in the way of vampire rules but we get the need of blood transference to turn, sunlight only makes them sick but draining a vampire will kill them and... remember the reflection rule in the wraparound? Well we get a nice bit of reflection in an attack scene. As well as not turning without permission, there is a rule about not drawing attention to the Society (so Ace suggests leaving bodies where killed as serial killers also bite sometimes!!!) There is also a rule about not attacking children.

Dizzy Reed as Daggar

Given the ‘film in the film’ is the majority of the movie one wonders at the point and that, generally, is the issue with this. It was a project and I suggest it was likely shelved due to it not being particularly interesting or… well… very good… Don’t get me wrong, seeing Lemmy with fangs is fun, and Guns and Reed do well with what they have – even if what they have is very little.

Ron Jeremy as Frankie

The problem is the film doesn’t build character enough to care about the wafer-thin story and looks horrible to boot, and that adds weight to the idea it was originally shelved. Whilst the cynic might suggest that the production company or filmmakers resurrected it to profit on the posthumous fame of Lemmy, one hopes they pulled it together as a tribute. Either way I score as a vampire movie only and whilst it might please die-hard fans of the musicians in it, it won’t satisfy genre fans (though the wraparound might provide slight solace and a wedge of gore). 3 out of 10.

Tales from the Crapper – review

Director: Various

Released: 2004

Contains spoilers

I have not been too complementary about Troma films – after all they are crap (though they have been known to pick up some gems from other production companies on occasion). However there is a certain something about some of them, in the right company, with the correct amount of foaming or distilled beverage imbibed. They will never be good films (generally) but they can be amusing.

This is neither a great movie, nor amusing. This is an anthology film with all the merit of a dead racoon, splattered on the highway and allowed to rot and then bake in the sun. Yes, it is that bad.

The first story – the Case of the Melon Heavy Alien Man Eater was so bad I jumped through it. This is followed by the vampire tale, Tuition of the Terror Twat. It actually starts off with a sliver of possibility, as we see a man handcuffed and a dancer who then takes his face off. It is gory, but the gore is reasonably done.

Just in case we are not sure what we are dealing with the camera then pans across his eviscerated corpse until it rests on a section of gore and arrows appear pointing to tell us “important: Vampire bite!” So there you go, the film is part of the vampire genre and so I have to watch the damn thing!

Essentially the story is that Timmy loses his college tuition and orders a stripper, Amanda (Julie Strain, Morgana and Blood Thirsty). He is so drunk he has misread the amount and can’t pay her but his friends take her home then have the idea of having a stripper party to raise money for Tim’s tuition.

The party goes ahead but, of course, Amanda and her two friends are vampires and a wholesale slaughter of all the guests is the order of the day. There really isn’t that much else to say, a whole lot of gore and nudity and nothing even floating near the area of plot. Lloyd Kaufman states (in a voice over) that plot is unnecessary where one has lesbians. That may well be true, to a degree, but this completely misses that degree.

The only other thing to mention is the cameo by none other than Ron Jeremy and Ron Jeremy spotting seems to have evolved into a new sport on the blog. There really isn’t anything else I can summon up to say about this filmic car crash.

The Lair – season 3 – review

Director: Fred Olen Ray

First aired: 2009

Contains spoilers

So the supernatural soap opera from gay TV channel “Here!” gets a third season. It has also increased in length. The first season was just six episodes and the second season nine episodes in length. This third series increased to thirteen episodes.

Season 2 felt a little overfull with concepts and confused, throwing ghosts – in the form of Frankie (Brian Nolan), werewolves and triffid like orchids into the mix. This series we get magic rings, the cursed head of a sorcerer and a gorgon (we’ll get to all that later). But somehow it didn’t feel as diluted or scattergun as season 2. Fred Olen Ray actually held the plots quite tautly together comparatively.

For the lair is written and directed by the aforementioned Fred Olen Ray, who we have met several times on the blog. Also we have been meeting up with Ron Jeremy quite a bit of late and he continues his incursion into the horror field (not that the lair is that horrific) by cameoing in this as a delivery man.

At the end of the last series Thom (David Moretti) had rescued vampire leader Damian (Peter Stickles) from being walled up and the evil vampire Colin (Dylan Vox) had been dealt with in a rather final manner. Thom’s ex-lover Richie (Bobby Rice) had ended up as the vampires’ slave and, at the beginning of this series, we see him find and pocket Colin’s amulet (that might or might not represent their power, the series is still vague) and collect up his dusty remains.

Now, this is a soap opera and so when Richie starts claiming that he is getting phone calls from Colin on an old fashioned, not to mention disconnected, telephone you’d have thought they’d have paid attention for the very same sort of thing happened during the soap opera Dark Shadows. As it is Richie helps one of Colin’s henchmen resurrect the bad vampire, in a rather effective throat slitting scene. Colin immediately… goes on to take over a rival business.

However, Thom is having problems. Loving Damian is literally killing him and he also wonders whether he is being mind controlled into loving the vampire, so the ghost of Frankie comes up with a plan. A recently released book on island legends talks of the disembodied head of a sorcerer that was buried with a magic ring. The ring grants immunity from magic and should Thom wear it and his feelings not change then they are truly his own. The head – incidentally – is able to grant one wish.

Unfortunately a mysterious man called Athan (Steven Hirschi) has turned up on the island and is being so stoic behind his shades that the Terminator would seem animated. Why the shades? Athan is a two thousand year old Greek who was cursed by the Gods and so is possessed by the spirit of Nanas – the only male gorgon. A brave and unusual monster choice but, truthfully, plastic snakes killed the effect.

Occasionally Nanas takes over Athan and kills – by turning the victim to stone. Athan wants the head for the wish, to rid himself of the curse, and his presence has left Sheriff Trout (Colton Ford) with the problem of stone bodies – that have fingerprints matching those of missing persons and (inside) have perfect replica stone organs. Trout actually reaches a gorgon conclusion rather quickly. The good sheriff has other problems as well. Someone is lurking round his house and he has been remembering a lost love who we never heard of for two prior seasons – one who was murdered and his suspected killer is back on the island.

Finally, if Damian didn’t have enough problems with Colin and his slightly too camp to be menacing persona, more trouble comes looking for him. So far the island seems to have had a total of two women connected with it (and the mainstay character of that gender, Laura, has left this season). Suddenly there is a new woman on the island, and she’s a lesbian vampire (Sybil Danning, Pale Blood) pissed at Damian.

As I said, the actual stories are much tauter this season. The acting isn’t brilliant, dangling around the overtly melodramatic and soap opera but, hey, that is what this is. There is a sex scene per episode that did nothing for me, but it is nice to see a little bit of balance in the genre when it comes to such things, especially from the very director who just loves his nudie bar movies.

Lore wise we get a very definitive answer in respect of religious items. We also get a definitive reason why some vampires dust and some don’t – those that don’t have just had sex. Okay, it’s not a brilliant answer but it is an answer nonetheless. Also, that damned painting of Damian actually has a real part to play in this series – but I won’t spoil how. Colin also seems to be able to phase or move faster than sight or vanish – it isn’t really clear which.

We even get left with a real, honest to goodness cliff hanger. Okay, the series is not perfect but it remains a guilty pleasure. By design, one of the campest genre things out there at the moment the show revels in it, knows what it is and has managed to escape taking itself too seriously. 4.5 out of 10.

The Wickeds

Director: John Poague

Release date: 2005

Contains spoilers

I came across this over at Scare Sarah and so many thanks to her for highlighting a vampire film I didn’t have – and had never heard of. I am always happy to hear about vampire movies – even if they are rubbish ones!

This does mash up the vampire and zombie genres in a way that might have been lore satisfying had it not been for them changing their mind in respect of lore as they went along. They also throw in ghosts and spirit possession… and Ron Jeremy (I am Virgin, Blood Moon Rising and Death Factory). In this, however, he plays a full role, rather than a cameo appearance.

The film starts with a group of youths driving through the country. They are Alyssa (Kelly Sue Roth) and Bailey (Bradford Sikes) – who are making out on the backseat of the SUV – Julie (Anna Bridgforth), Dylan (J. Matthew Miller), Kate (Gabrielle Dennis), Jake (Justin Alvarez) and the driver Richard (Danny Darder). It is Halloween and they are going to party at an abandoned house that is currently being used to shoot a cheesy straight to video horror flick – at least the script was aware of what it itself was. What the girls don’t know is that they are to make their own party and assume it is a big, organised event.

So, we have the 7 kids going to the abandoned house, made to look ever so cheesy inside (as we see) due to the decorating by a horror film crew who have the weekend off. Suddenly they notice another car and Richard (probably because he can shorten his name to Dick) decides to play chicken with it. They are nearly run off the road and Dylan notes it is going to the graveyard and wants to pound the driver, but is stopped. Hey, that’s chicken for you. Anyhoo they get to the house, break in and Alyssa and Bailey head upstairs for a protracted (cut through the first part of the film), mainly clothed, dry hump.

Over at the cemetery we have Gus (Ron Jeremy) and Billy (Bryan Donoghue) – grave robbing, in broad daylight. Gus is stood at the mouth of the hole Billy is digging and is clearly after something in particular. Billy uncovers the coffin and opens it to find a rather well preserved corpse, we later find out is called Teufel (Michael T Schnieder). He is reaching for the amulet when the eyes open. Gus tells him he is imagining things and to get the amulet. As he touches it the eyes open again and Teufel bites Billy’s hand.

They get out of there, with the amulet, but all across the graveyard the dead are rising. These are standard Romero type zombies; the shamble and eat your flesh variety. Gus and Billy abandon their truck and fight their way through the dead – for some reason leaving the obvious means of escape behind in favour of and heading towards the possible shelter of the nearby abandoned house. Teufel rises and manages to find and grab Billy. Gus puts his shovel through him and tosses him aside, which seems to make all the zombies fall over.

Gus and Billy make it to the house, find the back door locked (the kids do not respond to their calls as they think they are busted, of course our couple still at it upstairs hear nothing at all), don’t bother looking for the front door and get in via the cellar door. Having discovered the kids they go straight to wanting to board up the house. Richard walks outside and is grabbed by a zombie, becoming chow. From here on in we should have a fairly straight Night of the Living Dead set-up, but the filmmakers throw the kitchen sink in and some of what they add is incongruous.

Let us take Alyssa and Bailey, she is topless, they are still dry humping when Bailey is tossed to one side and Teufel comes up between her legs. First question, how’d he get in? Second, how come she was topless, then had a top on and then became topless again? She runs downstairs in a panic, wearing a bra… ok, so she had time and presence of mind to put that on... and says that something was in the room, Bailey checked it out and she saw it and ran – a story different to what we witnessed. Dylan and Jake go to check on Bailey and become trapped in a room with Bailey as the door handle is now electrified and an invisible presence deflects a vase thrown at the window. They smash the window by hand and get outside (and then back in after some zombie baiting) but the incident is never mentioned again and Teufel is seen still in the graveyard!

When it comes to the plain old zombies things are odd as well. They are your atypical shambling types but when Richard returns, at the end of the film, he is much lither than any of the others… now we could argue that rigor mortis has not yet set in but he can also speak and think. Bad zombie, stop being sentient... Then again another one had the presence of mind to steal the grave robbers' keys to their truck. I mentioned the filmmakers tossing in the kitchen sink and we get to see a ghost, as the house was the scene of not one but two murder suicides, and a spirit possession to boot. References come thick and fast, a faux Transylvanian “I vant to suck your blood” is uttered at one point, plus Night of the Living Dead (through “they’re coming to get you Barbara”), Bruce Campbell, Blade and Buffy all get a name check. There is some painting blood crosses on faces and necks that has zero effect later!

Lore wise we discover that Teufel was a black magician who drank human blood to gain immortality. The amulet was cursed and it was said that should it be removed he (and those around him) would rise and take revenge on the wickeds who disturbed his peace. There is some cock and bull about them all being wickeds due to their breaking and entering, but it seemed a stretch to explain why the kids were being got also. He bit Billy and, when Gus put the spade through the vampire, Billy swallowed some of his blood. Thus Billy eventually turns though he has standard fangs. Dylan surmises that Teufel isn’t really a vampire but some sort of special one like Blade as he can go out during the day – no, he was a vampire and lets leave it at that.

The film is poor, make no mistake, the acting is rank poor – only Ron Jeremy making a passable stab at it. Though the kids were annoying, perhaps that was acted. The stage set of the house looked crap – this is the only straight to DVD film likely to dress a house like that. The lighting was below par, hell the whole thing was poor but I have seen worse. For a moment I thought we might get a similar type of plot device as Graveyard Disturbance, alas it was not so. Then again, perhaps if they hadn’t thrown in the kitchen sink they might have been able to tighten this up. As it is we are tripping over ideas that go nowhere. 2 out of 10.

I Am Virgin – review

Director: Sean Skelding

Release date: 2010

Contains spoilers

Ahh parody, sometimes the heart’s blood of comedy and at other times a damp squib. I am Virgin parodies I am Legend, the movie rather than the book one feels, with a lot less than panache.

The film starts with TV broadcasts re the vampire apocalypse. We never know how it started, just that people became nymphomaniac vampires. We see a vampire burn up in the sun (the only such event we see in the film) and then we hear a report that they are drinking the blood of normal humans – the only direct reference we get to blood drinking.

Meet Robby (Adam Elliott Davis) the last man alive. We find him in a bar surrounded by a bevy of half naked vampires and he wants to tell us how he got there. Segue to a few days before and Robby, along with Billy the Bassett Hound, is a survivor of the vampire plague. Still human and virgo intacta. We see his day to day life.

The days are spent perhaps supermarket shopping or playing crazy golf (I told you it was an I am Legend spoof, didn’t I…). When he gets petrol he leaves cash for a non-existent attendant. Then he either goes into (or follows Billy into) a dark building and… catches vampires at it in either guy/girl or girl/girl situations and… voyeuristically watches them whilst we get a 'no genitals on show' sex scene.

There is no vampire slayage at any given point in this, Robby’s plight strings together some lowbrow sex scenes. We do not see a vampire die (bar the sun death in the opening scenes) or bite anyone… methinks they missed the point of vampire movies. Or perhaps not, but the sexploitation of this actually crosses the border into low level pornography, almost saved from that label by having the spoof of I am Legend and a rough approximation of a story.

Robby spends his nights in the basement – watching porn – having spoken to a freaky looking blow-up doll (whilst playing chess against it), made dinner and recorded his vlog. He sprays vinegar over the lawn and car to hide his trace and miraculously, after 3.5 years, the electricity is somehow still on and the web still up! He also thinks about mom and dad, and the virtues they instilled in him (sex is dirty and he has to wait for the one).

Becoming more and more frustrated he meets a vampire called Paul (Ron Jeremy, Death Factory and Blood Moon Rising) who tells him of a colony of survivors up north – but advises Robby not to go up there. They kicked him out for having sex with vampires and they are all puritanical. He also gives him the secret of the vampire plague. Having sex with an infected won’t infect you in turn, feeling guilty about sex (after the act) does that.

Will Robby finally get some? Will he keep his humanity? Do we really care?

As I say, this is an excuse for a series of genitally modest sex scenes so the vampire lore is as already described (bar the fact that they all have pronounced veins at the temple and perma-fangs). Bizarrely they did actually capture a feeling of desolation in respect of the city – despite the too obviously matted over moments. Also, quite bizarrely, Adam Elliott Davis is rather good as Robby – making him personable to the point that we do give at least a bit of a stuff about him!

But the spoof aspect and the comedy aspects fall flat and whilst this is a cut above Seduction Films (it has locations and everything) it isn’t a wonderful vampire film. 1.5 out of 10.
