Vampyre Tales
Directed by Ted Alderman
97 Mins

Review By Molly Celaschi

Vampyre Tales is a collection of Vampire inspired shorts with a wraparound story involving a vampire and servant. Debbie Rochon & Jim O’Rear provide comedy in the wraparound with such great chemistry, they make the corny jokes funny. There are 5 shorts total, some of which much to be desired.

“Way of the Vampire” involves two vampire brothers at each other throats when a girl comes between them and their bond. We learn this is just a part of a vicious circle. “Natural Selection” is probably the weakest link and sports a 2 minute poetry reading by a vampire?!?

“Blood Feud” stars Ted Alderman and Debbie D. It is about a man (Ted Alderman utilizing his stunt skills) with a secret to tell his girlfriend (Debbie D) when his ex unexpectedly shows up with a surprise of her own. “The Quitters” is about people attending an AA meeting for their addiction to alcohol…and maybe something else.

“Amount of Darkness” teaches you to be careful who you meet online and what you ask for because you just might get it. It has bizarre interaction with people I feel uncomfortable to look at, but I liked the ending, which involves a can of lighter fluid and box of matches.

Bottom Line: Good for Vampire fans that want a variation of vampire angst tales. Anyone else will want to pass.

Rating: 6/10
