Vampire Killers  (.66)

   I have to review this film by mentioning anothyer because of the blatant similarities. The movie in question is called Vampire Killers and it came out in 2008.

   Okay, remember Shawn of The Dead? Do you remember the two characters? And do you remember how the skinny guy was the real protagonist and the fat guy was just there for comic relief?

   Now, do you remember how good of a film it was?

   This movie is the same thing, if you replace the zombies with really good-looking vampire girls. Like Shawn of the Dead, there are still two guys, one fat and one skinny. And like Shawn, there are life and death situations with the fat guy wisecracking the whole time. But unlike Shawn, this film lacks originality.That isn't to say it was an unlikeable film, though. 

   Because of its blatant lack of character development beyond that of the aforementioned Shawn, I give this movie (.66).
