I opened this account because I cannot understand the mediocre rating this movie has, which may many people drive away from seeing it. And this is a shame because for me, it was one of the funniest movies I ever saw. As guideline, 10 out of ten means for me a movie does exactly what it's aimed for. A comedy should be fun, a thriller should be thrilling, and so on. Other tens for me would be The Naked Gun, Ronin, Citizen Kane, The Usual Suspects, for instance. This movie is a cheap comedy but in the very best meaning, it is naive, blunt, sometimes heart-warming, most times hilarious, it is often exaggerated, in fact it is like a 5 year old boy, if you know what I mean. It is always fun to watch, sometimes a little bit hard to understand but its charm will always make you smile. So, please, go watch it. You will not regret.

Baron Wolfgang MacLaren vanquished the vampire queen Carmilla. However before killing the evil vampire, she curses every female MacLaren descendants into turning lesbian vampires on their 18th birthday. Jimmy (Mathew Horne) is a modern loser, after getting dumped by girlfriend bitchy Judy (Lucy Gaskell), goes on vacation with his loser best friend Fletch (James Corden). They have no money and they randomly choose Cragwich for a camping trip. They are given the same lodgings as 4 hot girls Lotte (MyAnna Buring), Heide (Tiffany Mulheron), Anke (Louise Dylan) and Trudi (Ashley Mulheron). The girls' van break down on the way and the boys catches up just in time. Meanwhile Judy is following Jimmy to the house in the middle of the woods which is haunted by the local legend.This movie is a B-movie and it revels in it. It has fun with it or at least as much stupidity as they could bear. The two guys don't have much star power but at least they have the same patheticness as their characters. The hot girls are hot. The story don't necessarily make sense, but that doesn't matter. MyAnna Buring has the charisma of the group. Sometimes the stupidity even gets to be funny. It's a lot of goo splattering, and over the top violence. It's better than expected, but still not recommendable.

Usually I hate horror comedies, especially vampire comedies, but this one works.Jimmy, whose girlfriend once again cheated on him, and his best buddy, Fletch, who thinks only about one thing, decide to take a vacation of sorts with no money to wherever a dart on a map will land. It takes them to some remote English village. The strange locals offer free booze and free stay at some cottage farther away from the bar.As luck would have it a bunch of attractive girls are also staying there and the guys run into them. But the area is also stalked by lesbian vampires who are trying to resurrect their vampire queen. Jimmy is the descendant of a vampire slaying knight and the girl he's interested in is a virgin. The vampires need both of their blood to resurrect the queen.On the trail of the vampires is a vicar who's daughter turns 18 that day. Legend has it that the vampires turn all the girls in the town on their 18th birthday. Fletch who despite his best attempts is unlucky with girls will join the Vicar to fight the vampires who have captured Jimmy and the rest of the girls.Vampire Killers is a great light-hearted and funny movie. It has attractive girls, a bit but not enough nudity, likable characters, and a lot of humor. I wasn't expecting much from this movie but it turned out to be high quality with convincing acting, decent effects, good story, and it was funnier than most "funny" movies around.

Like the lad's magazines whose custom base this 'film' is aimed at, there are models posing as actors without much clothing and a pair of unlikely lads cracking post-Pegg & Frost type jokes. The script is indescribably bad, beige chat peppered with hokey, irony-impermeable Medievalisms and stumbling over James Corden's psychotic need to make jokes that he needn't. Employing Paul McGann is an impotent bid for the cult market. The ideas are expended by a third of the way through - a possible digression over the vicar's daughter is wasted and a belated attempt to bring it back from the dead half-hearted. With the exception of the effortfully professional lighting, design and under-the-circumstances photography this is a complete waste of everybody's time and money. 1/10
