Lesbian Vampire Killers (Phil Claydon, 2009)

[MarcMorris]

Yesterday I caught the world premiere of Phil Claydon's latest, Lesbian Vampire Killers at the Frightfest one day special event here in London. It's aimed squarely at a teenage audience, but I found it to be quite entertaining nonetheless.

With Gavin & Stacey's James Corden and Mathew Horne and Paul McGann playing the vicar, and some really funny set-pieces this is worth a watch. There are influences and homages to all sorts of other movies in this, from Hammer Horror to The Evil Dead, with a main storyline based on Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla. There's a great soundtrack too, I might add.

The make-up and set design are really nicely done too. The screening was followed by a Q&A with Claydon who was joined by nine luscious lovelies up on stage.

Claydon's previous movie Alone showed at Frightfest back in 2002, and it was great to catch up with him again, and we all ended up at a local bar for drinks, with the girls too.

There's room for a sequel too if this one goes down well...

I cant stand Corden and Horne so i'll be giving this one a miss.

[Companero]

I'll tell you something Marc, Momentum have done this film no favours: the trailer is abysmal and makes the film look really cliched and not very funny. I had written it off based on the trailer but if you're recommending it, I shall give it a go

[Wynter]

it does look like the kind of thing that would make a decent half hour Comic Strip type show

[D'Amato lives!]

Corden did the film no favours in my eyes when he said he was "impressed that it doesn't look like a British film. After the first 20 minutes, it really kicks in and looks like an American teen flick."

Oh... and neither of them are as funny as they or the media think they are.

[AndyBlade]

Based on the two leads in this film, its a safe assumption to make that I'll never, ever watch it.

[MarcMorris]

I went in as somebody who has never seen a single episode of Gavin & Stacey. The film went down really well with the Frightfest crowd.

ps. It looks ABSOLUTELY nothing like an American teen flick. I think he was perhaps being ironic.

[christats]

Oh... and neither of them are as funny as they or the media think they are.

Cordon and the Horn seemed to surpass Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood,presenting the Brit Awards.
In being utterly sh*te.
Although Fox and Fleetwood were entertaining in a weird way.
I don't mind Gavin and Stacey.When I see Corden and his sidekick in anything other than a scripted program,they p*ss me off.
Their new sketch show looks worse than the Al Murray one.
I'm all for a trashy Brit horror though,so will try to see it eventually.I will just forget its them.

Lesbian Vampire Killers - FrightFest Surprise Screening

Their new sketch show looks worse than the Al Murray one.

hmm... well apparently one of them is fat (hohoho) and they can both do camp voices (hahaha)... oh and there was a sketch about drawing cocks

...did I mention that one of them is fat?

I prefered the Al Murray show (although I should mention that I didn't bother watching it).

[Ade]

I enjoyed Gavin and Stacey but Corden always seems a bit too pleased with himself for my liking.

[MarcMorris]

I suggest you all give the film a chance and actually watch it before making your minds up based on a TV series.

[Ade]

Not saying I wouldn't give it a chance but I'm not really drawn to it. But, if you say it's worth seeing then I'd definitely consider checking it out.

[MarcMorris]

It's a horror comedy with sexy girls. It's fun. I enjoyed it anyway.

[bladesew]

It's a horror comedy with sexy girls. It's fun. I enjoyed it anyway.

Yeah, but you've already pointed out that you ended up in a bar afterwards with the girls.

Their new sketch show has been slated in today's reviews but then again, have we ever done comedy horror properly in this country. For every Carry On Screaming there's an I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle.

[MarcMorris]

I enjoyed the film beforehand. The girls took no part in persuading me otherwise.

Paul McEvoy's belly gets bigger every time I see him!

Film looks like it will be fun, I'll give it a shot when it opens.

[SimonJ]

I'll be giving this a miss too as I can't STAND James Corden - another of the media darlings of the day, whose success baffles me

[Harold Monroe]

i was quite interested in seeing this untill i found out those two pricks are in it. no way i would view it now. two of the most annoying 'comedians' of recent times. no sale

[AndyBlade]

I suggest you all give the film a chance and actually watch it before making your minds up based on a TV series.

And thats a fair enough statement, however, its not the show I hate, its Horne and Corden, and so, based on that, I'm still going to file this under 'Never watching. Not ever.
