    You've got to see this one! "Modern Vampires" is a delightful horror-comedy. TV's Craig Ferguson is one of the vamps - priceless! I thoroughly enjoyed Casper Van Dien's performance as Dallas; he fit the film well. Like any quality vampire movie, this one offers a respectabl... read moree amount of blood and nudity. Yeah! Overall, a laid-back, fun movie chock full of laughs!

    Wow! I had way more fun watching this movie than I expected to. It was everything you could hope for in a cheesy vampire movie. Hilarious!

    It's alright, kind of boring characters. Dumb teen vampire girl who is annoying in the flick. It's just ok. Very weak and lacking.

    Some of the performances are good, but the film was aggravating for me. I hope someday to do something in this vein and top it.

    Funny stuff, a quirky take on the vampire mythos set in LA that features Crips as Van Helsing's minions in his pursuit of Dracula.

    I know everyone else hates this movie, but I think it is hilarious. Since I'm not big on vampire movies anyway, this was a great change of pace and funny.

I guess the movie is content to be cheerfully cheesy junk, so don't expect it to be otherwise. Full Review

With so much cheese--not to mention blood and boobs--the film could have at least been a camp hoot. Full Review

Wagner brings a welcome sense of tongue-in-cheek abandon to her role in a film that otherwise plays it pretty close to run-of-the-mill blood-and-slaughter-for-fun flicks.
