Vampiress Review: Fright Club

 

The Gist: In order for a group of friends to join an exclusive club they must impress the elder with scary stories.

Female Vampire Factor:  Story number two in the film is told by the character Omar and is titled "The Boy who Cried Vamp".  In it he describes an unemployed DJ named Jamal who ends up getting a job at a nightclub not knowing that it is run by vampires and that he was being turned into one as well.  The female vamp of the story is a stripper named Nisa.

In a twist we also briefly see his girlfriend Kendra with fangs as well. 

Final Opinion: Best described as kind of a watered down "Tales from the Hood" the vampire story itself is short and to the point with a run time just shy of 25 minutes with a good majority of it just being gratuitous shots of Nisa fanging out

For that I'll give it a vampire beauty rating of 4 out of 5.  The rest of the film is ok, you get a weird modern retelling of little red riding hood and Frankenstein followed by finding out that the club was really full of demons.  I wouldn't exactly blame anyone for skipping to just the vampire story and not watching the rest. 

Vampiress Review: "The House Next Door: Meet the Blacks 2"

 

 

The Gist: Now back in their home town of Atlanta, Carl Black has to deal with his new neighbor who is a vampire that has eyes for his wife Lorena. 

 

Female Vampire Factor:  The vampire next door "Dr. Mamuwalde" (Kat Williams) is a pimp who lives with two vampire hoes who are pretty much half naked the entire film and the only ones who do any actual biting on screen.

Even with this being the case Dr. Mamuwalde spends the film lusting after the wife of Carl Black, Lorena (Zulay Heneo).  

By the films end he does capture and turn her (which is not done on camera). When Carl goes to the Dr.'s house to rescue her she already has fangs and tells him she had dreams of biting him leading to a scene where he just makes references to her, comparing her to celebrities with bad teeth. 

For the remainder of the film until the Dr. is destroyed she basically is walking around fangs out and in lingerie.

Final Opinion: I don't think anyone ever asked for an urban parody of the original Fright Night.  Especially now with the film being nearly 30 years old but we have one and it does a pretty good job.  The humor in the film is very politically incorrect and as shown women in the film are just T&A so this movie would have done well in the 90's when that sort of thing was in style.  I give it a Vampire Beauty rating of 4 out of 5.  The only thing that keeps it from a five was the lack of Lorena doing anything vampiric.  One scene of her having to fight blood lust like Amy in Fright Night and this film would have been perfect.
