Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Irina Waslek I am a lover of everything about Vampires and have much experience with the legends from my homeland. I think this film "Cult of the Vampire" did a good job telling an interesting story but I think the best part was the lead actress Iva Stelmak. She was very powerful and convincing in her role as Xandra. I am happy this film was made. I watched the film a second time with my roommate and it was just as good a second time.

danalola Excellent new Vampire film just when I was getting frustrated with the lack of Vampire films being produced. This film gets extra kudos for the lesbian lovers, the soundtrack, Iva Stelmak, for the story starting in Paris and coming to America, for lead FEMALE power roles. I am a huge Vampire fan and this movie filled the void. Please make another one!

Michael Ledo Xandra (Iva Stelmak) is a rebellious vampire who ignores her own kind to be with Camille (Megan Porter) and play in an all girl rock band. The coven doesn't like it, threatens her with bad Romanian accents and works to disrupt her life as punishment in the nights of LA.The music was performed by Cat Tasso. There is clearly a Concrete Blonde influence in the style of music, the location, lead singer, and of course vampires as their big album was "Blood Letting." Comparisons to the band in the film were made to Zeppelin and Hendrix as was Concrete Blonde in real life. They could have just compared them to Concrete Blonde instead of pretending they never existed. At times I felt I was watching a video, which was a good thing because the drama aspect was not great. Acting was so-so.The dialogue was metaphorically poetic at times. "You are out of reach of the hand of the clock." They seemed to have saved all those types of lines for the French vampire. The band members did not look like they were playing their instruments, but then again I don't think even Michael Nesmith cares anymore. What wasn't filmed in black and white contained scenes with little color with blonde being the stand out. The film had potential to be a cult classic, but feel short in script and a few actors. Peter J. Morton who starred in "Ciaron, the Demon Hunter" and was awful in it, ruined the character Drago in this feature. The man can't act, stop putting him in front of the camera. Phil Pritchard was miscast.Cult type film not for everyone.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Bella Klava *** This review may contain spoilers*** First I want to say that I am a lover of everything Vampire so I may be unfair in my comments and opinions. I do love this film and it made me fall in love with Iva Stelmak. She was perfectly cast as Xandra in this story. There's a charisma that she has that transcends the screen… a star quality that is missing in many of today's Hollywood movie stars. This film is an independent film with no big stars… it's doesn't need them. The cinematography is stylized, shot in black and white and in color, the soundtrack is reminiscent of PJ Harvey with a grunge rock sound that complements and balances the story, I found many of the song lyrics seem to be written like they are part of the script. CULT OF THE VAMPIRE is a love story, a story of chasing your pursuits… of making your life and existence matter. If I were a Vampire I would go surfing at night too! She is taken on the streets of Paris and ends up in a coven in Los Angeles that is loosely controlled by Cairo a man whose existence is nothing more than loneliness and playing chess with no one. His jealous counter parts; Drago, Ivy and Vera pursue Xandra with nefarious intentions that force Xandra to sacrifice her freedom for love. I won't share the outcome...go rent it and see if you agree with me… I see this film becoming a cult classic!
