| Summary: |
Kenny (Ken Abraham) lives along with his friends Bobby (Billy Frank) and Tom (Thomas Kingsley). He's one of the few fans of the weekly Sir-Peterson-Horror-TV-Show and a member of his Vampire-Knights-Society. Not only is he fascinated by the show, but truly believes in it. His friends, on the contrary, are complete disbelievers and try to cure him from his vampire-obsession. So they hook up with three girls and start a party. While Bobby and Tom only think about having sex with the chicks, Kenny is the only one suspecting the three girls to be Transsylvanian vampire-beauties. And already the most unbelievable events are set in motion. Only Kenny knows how to use a bunch of tricks to put an end to this horror-show� |

short review: This movie shows one of the most "memorable" scenes in film history: clouds sailing BEHIND a full moon!!! Though I had heard of this amazing sequence before, I couldn't believe it to be true. And that scene is symptomatic for the whole movie. The supposed hero outs himself in the very first minutes to be a complete nutjob, and none of the other characters nor the story does any better. As time passes, it's getting somehow funny (at least), but only because of the sheer stupidity of it. Best thing in the film are the excerpts from F.W. Murnau's "Nosferatu". Fortunately, "Vampire Knights" is not known as one of the genre highlights!  |
