It's strengths, besides it's gimmick obviously, are Phil Fondacaro playing it <i>so</i> straight (he seems to take this role as an opportunity to <i>really</i> play Dracula,) and it being <i>so</i> representative of what it <i>is</i>. When Jackie Brown came out, David Denby said that Tarantino "really likes pulp for its stiff, repetitive, bullheaded qualities," a statement I found revelatory; later on, I heard the exact same word, "bullheaded", leveled at Death Proof, my personal favorite of his movies. <i>Real</i> B-movies are generally one of two things: astonishingly unpredictable, or predictably disappointing; and <i>both</i> avenues are a fulfillment of some sort of ethereal promise. I remember Chaybee's appreciation of Lost After Dark hinging on its success at not really being anything <i>special</i>, ha ha, and The Creeps, by giving you next to nothing besides what the box promises (dwarf actors in monster costumes,) is a Full Moon movie as through and through as it should be. <i>Italics</i>.<br /><br />As far as Full Moon requests, my favorite is, has, and always will be Blood Dolls, Band's deliberately "problematic" riff on Mr. Sardonicus. I'd love to hear Patrick's take on it (don't get hung up on the racist puppets!)E.S.A.D.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18214282257870634349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-2463989076892864952017-04-11T08:33:28.708-05:002017-04-11T08:33:28.708-05:00Great review, Patrick.

I have actually never heard of this FM title. <br /><br />Being Debbie Rochon fans, I would love to see you cover Band's "Scream" knock-off slasher film, "Bleed" (2002). Shadow Films counts, right?!Chaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696179838579647187noreply@blogger.com
