As I regular search the flea markets after some OOP's or obscure horrors I became aware of this one due to his cover. At home I did my research and came up with the fact that this is a trilogy and this one is part 2. Okay, never seen part 1 and 3 I plugged it in and watched it. First thing I noticed was the fact that you don't need part 1 to understand part 2. Second thing I noticed was the fact that they used stop/motion. I thought, this can't be good. Not that I have anything against stop/motion but mostly it becomes childish except for Evil Dead. And it was made in the nineties so why use old effects. But it became clear, it's a Full Moon Production, well known for Demonic toys and other stop/motion flicks. Luckely it was only in the first minutes they used it, why, I don't know, maybe they used it in part 1. Anyway, it is not a bad movie. The red stuff flows on a regular base. But it is never frightening. Even thou the vampire is believable, it's the mummy mother that makes it a bit Tales From The Crypt. A vampire that have a mummy as mum, a mistake. The editing is okay, it made you watch without boredom. The storyline is okay. Although there aren't popular actors in the film they all are okay. The vampire itself is well-done. The use of light and shadows made me think of the old black and white movies "Schatten" and "Nosferatu", even the hands made me think of Nosferatu. Overall, good movie if your in for a familyreunion and have a chill now and then. Or if your children would like to see a vampire flick not too gory.
