Holy bloodsuckers! What happens when you combine vampires, murderous friars, a group of curious college students, and the wonderfully scrappy spirit of 1980s regional horror? You get Night of the Vamp-Friars!
Join Al Lucard as he takes a look at Vinegar Syndrome's first wholly produced feature film, written, edited, and directed by Kurtis M. Spieler (New York Ninja).
Shot entirely on 16mm film, Night of the Vamp-Friars is a bloody love letter to the low-budget, homemade horror movies of yesteryear. But does this throwback to regional horror deliver the goods, or should these Vamp-Friars have stayed buried?
In this review, we'll discuss the story, cast, homemade practical effects, gore, and all the wonderfully cheesy charm this film has to offer.
Are you a fan of regional horror, SOV cinema, and those wonderfully questionable straight-to-VHS horror movies? Then this one might be right up your alley!
