8/10
Best Indie I've seen this year!
28 June 2017
I got a chance to watch this film last week and decided I'd write a little review here. Don't really review things but I figured maybe it's time to start support the film I find that I like since Hollywood has been oh so disappointing of late. CULT OF THE VAMPIRE is a independent film with no famous stars but it is potent and powerful in its message of Love. I think the lesbian girlfriend angles and the music world really define this film in a real and modern way. It's been done before; Vampires as rock stars, but not as good as in CULT OF THE VAMPIRE. These songs are way better than any music soundtrack I have come across. Sadly I can't seem to find this artist Cat Tasso other them one song on Itunes "I Burn" which I did buy. Hopefully she will release the other tunes for the world to enjoy. The music played an integral part in the story and the helped create the vibe, it really made the whole film work. As far as the cast, I though the leads were great. Iva Stelmak and Megan Porter were perfectly cast and had a chemistry that made the relationship feel real. I think the art direction was great. The cinematography was amazing at times but not always. The story sucked me in and before I knew it, the film ended. I wanted it to go on. Maybe a tad short in length but for me it's a tell tale sign of good filmmaking when it flies. I hate sequels but I think this film could go somewhere and tell a new story and if it does I hope they use the same cast. This is a very good film. 8 stars from me!
