I suppose I have to give Stuart Paul a modicum of respect for continuing to create... art during the pandemic, as this is the third film he's written and directed in the last year. And I'd say this is probably, in its way, the most coherent of the three.
Vampires are dying out because humanity has become too pure(?!?), and after a massacre at her family castle, the last remaining vampire Sasha (Alix Villaret) has moved to L.A. to pursue her dream of becoming human. But then people around her start dying of forced exsanguination while she's having very convenient blackouts.
Complicating matters, one of the cops investigating the murder spree is falling for Sasha. Also, there's a subplot about…
I’m only halfway through this, and I’m tapping out.
There’s no goddamn reason this should have been made.
For the first time in my life, I’m gonna say it:
Sometimes, when presented with a script and a possible role, Danny Trejo needs to say “No.”
I'll definitely pair this with Danzig's Death Rider In The House Of Vampires (2021) A double feature for the ages!
VampFather (Danny Trejo) summons his five children, the last vampires on Earth, to his castle to commit suicide and end the race with honor. Humanity has become too "pure," kind, and thoughtful, and there is no one left from whom the vampires can feed. Just before they die, his daughter Brandusa launches into an endless monologue about how she knows the location of a train-load of gold plundered from the Jews by the Nazis in WWII and one of the other vampires suggests they fight to the death rather than kill themselves. Enter Sasha (Alix Villaret), the fifth child of VampFather, who shows up late to the party and discovers everyone is already dead. She finds the scrawled map to…
I don’t…. How did this movie make less sense than Blind Ghost? Jesus fucking Christ this movie is insane. I love Stuart Pauls' movies so so much.
I thought this was going to be a vampire crime film. I thought it was going to be so cheesy and over the top. It was that, but it was also boring and shitty. Please do not watch this.
this movie feels like a guy showed up at danny trejo's house with some props and was like, "can you be in my movie?" and then they filmed it right then and there.
The first thing that I noticed in VampFather was the lighting. Then I realized that it wasn't as impressive as I originally thought, everyone has multi-color LED lights as does every scene of this movie. Red, blue, yellow.
Vampires are a dying breed and the VampFather puts it on his children to ensure vampires survive. Then the movie becomes a drama and police procedural about the last vampire. Furthermore, this particular vampire can decide to become a human or a vampire because of her special DNA.
This is a boring movie. I think the runtime is like an hour and a half but it felt like it was 10 hours.
What the fuck is this? My boy DT plays a decent vampire but this film is largely trash. At one point I thought I was hour in so I checked the time and it was 26 minutes. 26 minutes felt like an eternity. I wrote notes but I'm not even going to waste my time with writing a proper review.
I could not have been more excited to watch this movie. A Stuart Paul movie starring Alix Villaret AND Danny Trejo?? This must be the best movie ever made! But it... isn't.
Vampfather sees Paul taking mercy on the audience and delivering a storyline which is much more coherent than Blind Ghost or even Doll Face. It certainly retains that signature Stuart Paul charm, although the editing is much less erratic than Blind Ghost. And somehow, this works against the film. While Blind Ghost was a master filmmaker breaking free of his shackles and rebelling against the ideas of "plot" and "character development", in Vampfather Paul seems to descend to the levels of us mere mortals and don his shackles…
