Okay readers, in opening this review of Vampire in Vegas like a dusty coffin, I want to tell you that there is good news and bad news. The bad news is that the film is terrible. The good news is that it’s also extremely enjoyable.

Santi (Juilo Valverde) is a teenager with a quite serious aversion to sunlight – it literally burns his skin on contact – and along with a discreet pair of fangs, it’s no surprise he’s the school outcast.

Now that Fright Night is reaping it in at the cinema I had the chance to sink my own teeth (I’m ashamed for using that pun) into some time with a couple of the cast members.

The original Fright Night was released in 1985 and told the tale of a teenage boy (Charley) who has the misfortune to witness one of his neighbours getting up to vampire stuff (you know, biting necks and killing people).

Ninjas vs Vampires is doing itself a disservice with that title, which conjures up inane internet message board conversations of the kind “hey, wouldn’t it be hilarious if [something stupid]“.

The Dead Undead is a vampire zombie movie staring Luke Goss. To any American readers out there this will be of no surprise to them. “A vampire movie staring that actor from Blade 2 and Hellboy 2 makes total sense” they will utter in a nonchalant manner.
