For a Roger Corman production this is pretty good. It’s an adaptation of an adult comic book from the 70s and 80s. The movie pretty much follows the comic but Vampirella’s costume has been modified–the original was too skimpy for an R rated film!
The film isn’t perfect–the dialogue is lousy, the story is needlessly convuluted and there’s two truly horrible performances by Soto and Paul–but who watches this for the acting and plot? Daltrey REALLY chews the scenery as Vlad and hunky Brian Bloom gives a very good performance as Demous.
Lots of action, violence and fun–never a dull moment. A true camp classic.
And John Landis and Angus Scrimm have cameos!
