Night of Vampyrmania (1993) (France)

⭐️⭐️⭐️



Weirdo French shot-on-video anthology with its stupid heart in the right place. A priest on the hunt for the last son of Dracula (a young man in an ill-fitting bald cap) shares two stories with the audience about the dangers of vampirism and the uselessness of non-believers like the police and doctors. In the first tale, Red Christmas, a super-powered cannibalistic Santa Claus attacks a small Christmas Eve party where a bunch of morons ramble on and a drunk former soldier shares graphic tales about he and his families exploits during various wars. Hell Taxi tells the tale of a skeptical young man, in a hat which reads “SUPER MACHO”, who becomes a believer right-quick when a taxi-driving vampire with a knack for dungeon dismemberment picks up the cute new neighbor he has a crush on. A cameo from a SEGA Genesis, inaudible mumbling, failed comedy, fright masks, machine-gun sound effects and a general ineptness in every aspect of filmmaking should bring a smile to your face. It goes on a little long but it is still a wonderfully braindead ninety minutes as only those fan-fueled SOV movies can be.
