aka The Fearless Vampire Killers or Pardon Me, Your Teeth Are In My Neck ?

A classic. It's weird but I thought this actually delivered better and creepier vampires than a lot of the Hammer films that it spoofed! One of my favorites and a very glossy, expensive production.

It's one of those great "WTF!??!" movies. Nothing set up at the beginning of a scene plays out the way you think it's going to. Movie constantly messes with the viewer's head. A comedy with the "good guys" basically being killed at the end. Pretty much about as clever and bizarre as you can get. And in the midst of all this supposed comedy, it actually DOES have a very creepy and disturbing quality.

It's not for everyone, I think. Not everyone is "tuned in" to this kind of humor. The extended no-punchline joke. It's also a very languid film...not a lot of action scenes. Like that whole thing at the inn at the start of the film--that's a very long section. But yes, it's a thing of atmosphere.
