Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

BloodTheTelepathicDog This is essentially a campy horror flick with some one-liners, some blood and Ami Dolenz. The film concerns a small country town overrun by vampires and only an out-of-town teacher (Peter DeLuise) and the town drunk (Garrett Morris) are able to fight the legion of the undead. Our unlikely heroes have to protect virginal Ami Dolenz whose blood is intoxicating to head vampire David Sawyer.STORY: $$ (The story is bare bones. Too many campy horror flicks poke fun at small country communities. A little originality wouldn't hurt. The camp works at times but more often it is absurd. The vampires aren't menacing but more along the lines of comedy. This is clearly one of those turn-your-brain-off-and-enjoy flicks).ACTING: $$ (Nothing special here either. Cult actress Karen Black has a cameo as the town maneater and young Lloyd Kalicki is quite good as the perverted pre-teen peeping tom. Shirley Jacobs as Ami Dolenz's grandmother may give the best performance. Ami Dolenz, as always, is fine as the object of intrigue but some of the other main actors were poorly cast. Josette DiCarlo is beyond annoying as the town sheriff and Garrett Morris hiccups his way through his role as a drunkard. Peter DeLuise was a horrible selection as the leading man. He lacks a strong screen presence and in a film like this, you really need a Bruce Campbell, Bruce Abbott type as the leading man and not some no-name like Peter DeLuise).NUDITY: None. But a soaking wet Ami Dolenz is alright.

ggglee19 This movie was pretty hilarious. It wasn't that scary, but was overall pretty enjoyable. It's one of those horror movies that you know are supposed to be scary, but are actually pretty funny. The movie begins with two teenage girls, Cindy and Lucy, deciding to go down to the flooded crypt of the Church (more like a flooded church basement), and deciding to take a swim in there, since that's perfectly normal. While swimming, Lucy's crucifix falls off into the water, waking up the dormant vampire who happened to be sleeping underwater. He rises up and claims Cindy as a vampire, who goes on to infect her mother as well. Lucy escapes. Meanwhile, a schoolteacher arrives in town and tries to help Lucy out, who is now the target of the vampire since she is a virgin. The schoolteacher, Mark, is in town to visit his friend, a priest who is having an affair with Cindy's mother. We find out that the priest has been locking Cindy and her mother up since they became vampires. Now, one strange thing about this movie is the vampires themselves. When they sleep in water, their lungs come out of their mouths and float above the water. It doesn't really make sense, but a lot that happens in this movie makes no sense. Somehow, the majority of the town becomes vampires, except for Lucy, Mark, and a random, drunk, homeless, black man we see throughout the film. The actor's have hilarious ways they say lines, that make you crack up so hard. An example: "For god's sakes! A milk man!" said by the over-dramatic Mark after seeing a vampire milkman. Before I forget, there's also some creepy little boy we see throughout the movie, who says the most random creepy things. At one point this kid starts talking about someone named Mr. Bubbles, and to this day I still don't know who he's talking about. We first see him looking at dirty magazines in the street, and later tells Mark that he has seen everyone in the town naked...this kid was so strange. Towards the end of the movie, the vampire has Lucy, starts to lick her neck, when Mark burst through the door to rescue his underage love. He proceeds to call the vampire a ton of random swear words. The vampire kicks his ass, but never fear! The random homeless black guy burst through the wall in a van, with a crucifix positioned on the hood that goes directly into the vampire's heart, making him die. This movie was weird, but funny. Not that scary though. The dialogue was hilarious and random. I strongly suggest watching this movie because I can't properly describe how ridiculous and hilarious this movie truly is.

Vomitron_G After 10 years of trying to hunt down a legit copy of this one, the wait was finally over in 2007. And to me, it was worth it. This is a sadly over-looked vampire-gem from the very early 90's (to my knowledge it never even made it over to our country on VHS or DVD; rather puzzling since pretty much everything has always been available over here on rental VHS until DVD started to change the videostore market)."Children Of The Night" certainly is an above average (crossbreeding) genre film and I for one got as much enjoyment out of it as I did with movies like "Vamp" and "Fright Night" (to name only 2). Above average, as far as production values, SFX and cool ideas go. Because the screenplay is a muddled mess, the pacing is off and the dialogues aren't exactly quality stuff either. The musical score had a bit of a "Hellraiser" (the original) vibe to it, which does raise the film to a higher, more sinister level at times. The scarce humorous aspects in it took some time to get used to (and seemed out of place first), but a drooling and horny vampire-version of Karen Black chained to a bed sure got me in the right mood. Very decent special-effects and vampire make-up too. And the most remarkable aspect of all: This film establishes a never-before-seen type of vampires. Or at least adds a new type of myth to these beings. You'll have to discover that for yourself, because I'm not going to tell what it is.All-in-all, even though I can understand people not really digging this kind of vampire-mixture, "Children Of The Night" turned out a very enjoyable watch for me. The first half has a fair amount of tension and manages to scare on some occasions, the second half is just plain good old vampire slaying fun. Other highlights in director Tony Randel's horror history are "Hellbound: Hellraiser II" and "Ticks" (AKA "Infested"), so you might have a better clue now of what to expect from this movie.

Duncan_Idaho64 This movie is by no means at the top of its genre. In fact the genre may have been better off if this movie hadn't been made. That said it is a fun movie (I should mention that I am one of those people that can enjoy a bad movie all the while knowing it's a horrible film). I first saw it on Sci-Fi channel at 3 AM and then a few months later saw it in the same time slot again. I watched it in its entirety straight through and enjoyed both viewings.The story is by no means completely hole-free; a lot of the plot involves suspending not only disbelief but also a fair bit of common sense. The acting was definitely B-movie grade but not horrible. The cinematography is also a bit lacking, it feels like the director was trying tell too much of the story with his camera angles and lighting (possibly because of the lack of range of emotions most of the actors seem able to display).All in all I recommend this movie as certainly better than anything else that you are likely to see in its timeslot. It is worth a look if you really like horror movies no matter how bad, or are in the mood for a fun, bad movie.
