Cult of the Vampire (2016)

I am a lover of everything about Vampires and have much experience with the legends from my homeland. I think this film "Cult of the Vampire" did a good job telling an interesting story but I think the best part was the lead actress Iva Stelmak. She was very powerful and convincing in her role as Xandra. I am happy this film was made. I watched the film a second time with my roommate and it was just as good a second time.

CULT OF THE VAMPIRE brings a refreshing look at Vampires and has a powerful cast with the leads Iva Stelmak and Megan Porter firmly rooting themselves as strong lead actresses in his fantasy horror story. I am not a fan of sequels but I'd like to suggest to the producers to consider continuing this story. I truly believe more can be told with this wonderful cast in tow and where the story went to. Thank you for a passionate film with two strong leading ladies making this great entertainment.

I don't usually do these reviews, but wanted to say a a few good things about this movie. I am super into Vampires, everything and anything Vampire. This movie tells a tale that's totally believable... I love it! It's nice to see a normal betrayal of these beautiful creatures and stunning they are... Iva Stelmak and Megan Porter are cast perfectly for this story. The film is definitely more art-house than horror. Stylized with flashbacks and some metaphoric scenes; the purple heart (love), a flower floating by in water casting a dark shadow in tow. The scenes go from black and white in Paris, dull color in Los Angeles. The music rocked and was another element that connected me and made this movie engaging. Love the songs, the vibe, the emotions the lyrics and melody play. Made me feel in touch with Xandra. Hopefully they make a sequel, would love to see Xandra and Camille back in action.

Found this film online and after seeing the cover and trailer we decided to rent it. To be honest I wasn't expecting much. I liked what I saw from the trailer which was really nothing more than a splice of two scenes. Definitely not a real trailer. The movie starts out in an interesting way and hooked me during the opening credits with a great soundtrack. It sucked us me in. I guess you could say if you don't like the music, you might not like the movie as much, because there's a lot of music in it and in it's story. Acting was solid, really liked the leads actresses, another big plus for me! They made we want to stay engaged. The film could have done more with the scenes / story, I liked the ending which is why I gave it 8 stars. Could have been a little longer, seems pretty short. I definitely enjoyed this Vampire story.
