Classic 80s horror from Tom Holland who wrote and directed this film with Roddy McDowell as the fearless vampire killer on television who just about shits himself when he sees a real vampire. Chris Sarandon plays the cocky, arrogant and smooth vampire Jerry who's night time feeds are blown and seeks to torment Charlie. William Ragsdale plays Charlie who, Amanda Bearse plays the girlfriend Amy and Stephen Geoffreys plays the friend Ed who brings some funny moments to the film.
With the age before CGI there was plenty special effects used and make-up with Billy Cole Played by Johnathan Stark who dissolves in to a pile of ooze and the vampire make-up was done well and a nice background score by Brad Feidel and some 80s disco music along the way. Attachment 228453 |
I watched this last night (haven't got round to reviewing it yet though) I really liked it again. Not seen it for several years. The FX work is tremendous.
