Vampiro (Vampire)

A New Cult Classic
I felt that I had to write a review for this movie, since the only other review (at the time of this writing) seems to be written more to appeal to writers and other critics than it is for people who are actually into watching movies (you and me).

In short, this movie is BAD. If I told you anything different, or tried to 'church it up' like the other review, you'd probably want to hunt me down and slap me in the face with the DVD (since the other review makes it seem like a really good movie).

So, why would I rate a bad movie with 4 stars? Simple. It is the most FUN I've had watching a movie in a long time. If you watch this movie thinking you've landed on a hidden indie "jem" you're in for disappointment. If, however, you have a few friends over for drinks and pop this movie in, you'll be in for a real treat. It's one of those movies that is so bad, it's good!

Vampiro
This movie realy is not the best film I have ever seen. however for the budget it realy is worth the money. I was thinking it would be one of those bad b films. But It realy is entertaining an different. Damian Chapa is very suave in the role of Casanova. And the young girl who plays the 12 year old vampire is realy excellent hoping to see more of her in the future. She has one of those beauty's like Nastashia Kinski in tess. It was really an easy film to watch its no Oscar winner however It has one of those feelings in it that will make it a cult film.

Soulful with artful photography credits
I must say that I was impressed with the opening credits' artful photography on a boat. The story takes place in East L.A. and the characters are Mexican. The male lead, Casanova(Damian Chapa) is very compelling and the two female leads, one a young girl (Alma)who, although she had acting lapses, has the right looks and look and is effective, regardless.The other lead actress (BLanca) a big-legged curly-haired blonde, is delightful. The basic plot is half-human Vampire Casanova (Damian Chapa) is hunted by his vicious Vampire sire, Tex, who is a very uninteresting character who could have been played by anyone. But he and his cronies are just there as heavies. The real drama is between the Lead female, Blanca, her Lesbian lover, Sexiana, Casanova,and Alma, the hundred year old "12 year old" beloved "child" and companion of Casanova's.
Simply, the plot revolves around the hide and seek of Tex and Casanova with the females as pivot points. What makes this for me are the...
