Decadent Evil is set in Phoenix where two Vampires named Sugar (Jil Michelle) & Spyce (Raelyn Hennessee) work as a double act in a sleazy strip club, there they use their looks & seductive moves to lure unsuspecting punters back to Morella (Debra Mayer) their mistresses mansion so she can drink their arterial blood. Morella needs to drink the life force from 10,000 people to become invincible & become Queen of all Vampires, or something like that anyway. Morella is only two more victims away from achieving her goal & pint sized Vampire hunter Ivan (Phil Fondacaro) & Sugar's human boyfriend Dex (Danniel Lennox) are on the menu as Morella intends to use them as the last two victims she needs...
Executive produced, produced & directed by king of the cheapies himself Charles Band this is actually a spin-off film from Vampire Journals (1997) & the a few minutes of that film is seen at the start of this which is odd because Vampire Journals was a spin-off itself from the Subspecies series of films which were all made & released by Band's various production companies throughout the nineties. So while Decadent Evil may be a spin-off from a spin-off it has very little to do with those other films besides featuring Vampires, the dark Gothic Eastern European locations have gone & instead Decadent Evil is set mainly inside a large house in Phoenix somewhere. Whether you will enjoy Decadent Evil will depend on your expectations, if all you want is an hour long series of soft core sex scenes, a bit of blood, a comic relief dwarf Vampire hunter & the entire thing shot with bright neon lighting then you won't be disappointed. If however your looking for a plot of some description, a hint of originality or some atmosphere then prepare to be disappointed. At only an hour or so in length at least it's short, the first twenty minutes has a strip show, a threesome that turns into a foursome, two killings, blood drinking, nudity & some straight sex so if your looking for a bit of sleaze & some blood & boobs then you could do a lot worse & I haven't even mentioned the little red creature that Morella keeps in a cage in her bedroom that used to be her boyfriend yet have I?
I must say the women on show here are all universally hot & Band sure knows how to cast a stripper or a hooker. Spyce in particular is hot. There's not much gore here, a few slit throats & a bit of blood, nothing amazing. The nudity count is better with lots of bare flesh on show & even that little red creature gets in on the act & gets to lick a hooker's tittie. The entire thing is shot like a cheap 80's pop music video with glaring bright neon lighting all over the place, it sort of looks alright I suppose & adds the overall cheapness. The special effects are passable & at least there's no CGI in it. There's a nice nod to Charles Band's previous production company as the motel Spyce goes to is named the Full Moon Motel.
Filmed in Los Angeles I can't imagine how low the budget for this was as most of it takes place in one location. The acting is as good as expected although Fondacaro is fun as the Vampire hunter & surely the sexy & quite good Debra Mayer deserves better than this.
Decadent Evil passes an hour for those who know what to expect & demand little more than some blood & naked flesh, watchable in it's own right but hardly brilliant. Followed by Decadent II (2007) which I currently have & will be watching soon.
