Fist of the Vampire (2007)

Killerwolf films get better and better. Really good flick and somewhat dark in character. All well filmed and acted with no obvious production issues. Lots of CGI in this case. Not really my scene, but not overdone and appropriate to the setting. And lots and lots of martial stuff which I do enjoy and these scenes were very well done and choreographed. The fight scene on the beach was very realistic and violent at the same time. Thought the scene with the coffin in the shop was very well done with a real air of creepiness. A few zombies here and there (of course) would have made it perfect for me but can't complain about the amount of action in this film. Perhaps the gore could have been a bit more realistic in some cases. Production values again continue to improve and surely no one can complain about the technical aspects of the film. The cast also were good and convincing in their roles so good value given by all. Best wishes to all on this film from British fan. Cheers D.

It's always nice to see a low-budget effort that's not only done with a great deal of passion and enthusiasm, but also offers a funky and energetic handy-dandy combo of elements from both the action and horror genres. 1977: A man witnesses a vampire attack in a back alley. The vampires kill the man and his wife. However, the couple's son survives the attack. Thirty years later the man grows up to be Lee Southward (neatly played with rugged conviction by the brawny Brian Anthony), a tough and fearless undercover detective who infiltrates an illegal underground fighting ring that's run by the same trio of vampires who killed Lee's parents. Writer/director Len Kabasinski tackles the mean'n'lean material with a pleasingly fierce'n'frantic adrenalized style: the brisk pace, ferocious fisticuffs, a thrashin' hard rock soundtrack, the suitably rough'n'gritty cinematography, a pulsating score by Figblots and Chylum, the hyper-kinetic editing, and the copious graphic gore (blood squirts and spurts all over the place from severed jugular veins) all add up to one immensely entertaining movie. Better still, the actors portraying the vampires have a ball with their supremely evil parts: Brian Heffron makes for a fearsome head villain as ruthless leader Nicholas, gorgeous soft-core feature regular Darian Caine burns up the screen with her steamy portrayal of the wicked and predatory vampiress Jade (yes, fans, the delectable Ms. Caine also shows her delicious goods in a tasty lesbian love scene as well), and Leon South does well as the vicious and insatiable Reno. Moreover, there are nifty supporting contributions by Cheyenne King as formidable lady brawler Davidson and Victor Kuehn as Lee's pragmatic superior Agent Williams. The action set pieces are staged with real rip-roaring go-for-broke flair, with a drug deal that degenerates into a total bloodbath and the exciting climactic to-the-death confrontation between Lee and Nicholas rating as the definite stirring highlights. Granted, the dodgy CGI effects ain't too impressive or convincing, but overall this lively and frenetic item sizes up as good trashy Grade B fun just the same.

I am genuinely astounded at how bad this film is: The script, if you can call it that, is just awful.The furniture in my house would have been more convincing than the 'actors' in this film; I honestly have seen better acting at a pre-school nativity play! The (not so) special effects would have been more convincing if they had drawn on the actors with a crayon.The fight scenes are just plain dull, which is a shame as it looks to have some fairly talented martial artists in the cast.Len Kabasinski needs to understand the concept of "take two" I have thought long and hard to try and find at least one redeeming quality of this film and the best that I can come up with is that it makes the work of Uwe Boll look good...If only there was a mark lower that 1 star I could award. Just please don't waste your time or money on this film, you have been warned.

Killer Wolf gain has hit a home run with their latest film "Fist of the Vampire" Those who have read my blogs or reviews know that I personally love the films they put out in Killer Wolf Films and this one was no exception. Once again this is what I love about independent horror films and what I loathe about most Hollywood ones. Len and his crew put together films for one purpose only.....to entertain you. It's not about making a art house flick or getting on Sundance Channel but in making sure the audience had a good time watching their movie. Fist combines really scary vampires with a dash of Fight Club mixed in for good measure. Being an exceptional martial artist Len populates his films with many other exceptional fighters. Brian Anthony plays a DEA agent who infiltrates the illegal underworld fighting den run by Brian "Blue Meanie" Heffron, Len (credited as Leon South ) and Darian Caine. Unfortunately for him it isn't just about illegal gambling and drugs but the folks who run the ring are in fact vampires. The film was shot with great cinematography and really good acting to boot. Killer Wolf fans will get a kick out of seeing Rene Porada in her first bad girl role as well as Brenna Lee Roth. If you are fan of Killer Wolf this movie will exceed you expectations and if you have never seen one check it out. You won't be disappointed.
