Movie Review: A beautiful desert vampire!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Film: The Velvet Vampire
Year Made: 1971
Overview: Diane, a beautiful woman with a thirst for something red lives in a place that no other vampire has ever been known to live. She invites a couple to come visit her at her tranquil desert estate. Slowly she seduces them into her web of death. Why does she stay in the desert of all places? Is she really a vampire or is it all a illusion? Who will escape the bite of the Velvet Vampire!
The Package: 4 Stars. The graphics on this DVD holder is really cool and it just has this spooky, bloody, vampire phycodelic feel to it. It really is cool just to look at. Inside the case there is no inlay which was a let down, the disc itself holds very nicely into the holder and is easy to pop out at the same time. On the disc itself is a picture graphic of the eyes/face of Diane (The Velvet Vampire) which is really cool. It's a letdown that the trailer for the film is not included but their are some really nice extras. The company that put out this version is called cheezy flicks entertainment. There is a extras section on the disc that has all kinds of "cheezy" old trailers for films as well as old TV commercials that most anyone would really love who appreciates older low budget films and ads. I really loved that and can't wait to buy more films from cheezy entertainment to see even more of these extras I hope.
Spook Meter: 3 Stars. First off, I LOVED this film. It's not a overly scary film by any means, but as I watched it, I found my own imagination running wild as scenes popped up like the velvet vampire looking up out of her late husbands grave in the heat of the desert, while she reached out to grab her next victim. I really enjoyed the fact that this was not your "normal" vampire film. How many vampires live in the desert and drive a dune buggy?? The dream scenes, the dry eerie desert scenes, along with the music and 70s phycodelic feel throughout the film really is what made me fall in love with this gem. I happen to see the name of this film and bought it just based on that, I'm so glad I did.
Gore/Violence Meter: 2 Stars. This is not very gory at all. There is some blood, and there is some violence throughout though. Scenes of blood where a knife goes into someone, blood is shown after someone is bit on the neck and a few other Simi violent parts but where no blood is shown. The film is not super mild on the gore meter, but will be acceptable for most anyone who enjoys horror with slight gore and violence.
Profanity Meter: 3 Stars. Their is a fair amount of bad language throughout the velvet vampire and was one part that I found to be a bit of a letdown. Viewers be warned.
Sexual Meter: 4 Stars. There is quite a few make out scenes in this film. Woman's breasts are shown quite a few times and a mans naked butt is shown. Nothing else is shown below the waist; however it's quite a bit on the sexual side of things for a horror film so I give the sexual meter pretty high marks as an early warning to all viewers.
Final Thoughts: The velvet vampire is a very special and unique film to watch. It's got a lot of twists to it that after your done watching you will be left pondering over was if this and what if that. It's very well done, kind of spooky and will keep you glued to the screen until the credits are shown. If you can appreciate low budget films and want something that is truly a fun, one of a kind vampire experience, then the velvet vampire will be one that you will be proud to own as I am.
