It Bites

Another straight-to-video special from our friends at Brentwood Communications. This one plods along for a good long while doing its impression of worst-movie-ever-made. It's shot with television cameras and videotape. The lighting is so poor, the shadows threaten to upstage the actors, which wouldn't be difficult in this scenario. At least we can see the actors: We can barely hear what they're saying, because the dialogue is rendered inscrutable thanks to the shoddy audio. The sets are slapped together to make it look like the characters actually are someplace. An amateurish production all around, with performances to match. The only actor who emerges unscathed is Janine Ulfane as Rosemary, the concerned roommate of Erica Steele (dig that protagonist-sounding name) played in fits and starts by Kerry Norton. Erica is having nightmares about Selena (Eileen Daly) who appears as if she just placed last in an Elvira, Mistress-of-the-Dark lookalike contest. There is much vampirism and munching of the flesh. To its credit, the "film" gets better as it reaches its denouement, and spares us a campy shock ending. By then, however, we are numb.
