Vampire Dad

source: Vampire Dad

Vampire Dad is not a great movie. The script is not tight. The movie feels like the writer ran out of ideas and needed to pad it out to get it to about 76 minutes. This sounds pretty negative, BUT I will also say this movie made me laugh HARD many times, usually due to Barak Hardley's performance as Bob. So although I cannot say this is a great movie, it's hilarious at times. The performances of the leads are very strong--Emily O'Brien and Jackson Hurst are fantastic and have wonderful chemistry with each other. The set designer did a great job--I particularly noticed the use of vibrant colors to suggest the era. There's a kickass surf rock soundtrack by Voodoo Surfers. I did not love the use of animated segments--I wondered if perhaps those were added because it was easier than building sets or finding locations for those scenes. I agree that the movie never quite does what it needs to do to capitalize on its premise. What it does have in spades is charm. I do hope they'll do something more with this cast. This is not a movie anyone needs to see, but I had a good time and you could do a whole lot worse. 1-3: Don't waste your time 4-6: Decent 7-9: Good/Great 10: Outstanding.

In 1962 Psychologist Raymond Walinski is bitten by a vampire. He was chosen to be a vampire so he could treat monsters who are lonely and have issues. His wife and brother-in-law know. His BIL supplies film with human blood from work. They have a 16-year-old daughter. The film had a lot of potentials. It was one I thought I was going to like after the opening scene, but it lacked any sort of clever dialogue. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

I thoroughly enjoyed Vampire Dad! Horror comedy is one of my favorite genres and it absolutely delivered. There were moments of laugh out loud laughter and a few scares as well. Super recommend!

I really enjoyed this movie! Watched it with my girlfriend and we were laughing throughout. It's a fun time.

Such a cute and witty -indie film that brought smiles to my self and my family... and we needed this film because it took our minds off the hellish current events of 2020.

I must admit that I had expected more comedy from this 2020 movie. Writers Frankie Ingrassia and Kathryn M. Moseley didn't really fully manage to produce a storyline that felt wholeheartedly or properly enjoyable. Sure, the movie was watchable once, but this is hardly a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time. Simply because the storyline just didn't have sufficient contents to support a second viewing. The acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration the limitation of the storyline and script. And the fact that director Frankie Ingrassia didn't really manage to make something unique or outstanding here, just didn't help to make it a memorable movie. The concept of the movie might have seemed interesting on paper, but it translated poorly to the screen. It just felt too scripted and forced, and the movie was just way too predictable. My rating for "Vampire Dad" is a generous four out of ten stars.

I enjoyed this though possibly you need to enjoy a certain type of humour to get it. Emily did a fine job as the 50's mum ,perfect casting i think. Though i did at times think she was channelling a character from a stage-play farce. I get the feeling she's done a lot of stage work . Not that that's a bad thing ,she's great. Dad was was funny too ,also great casting. I do hope this is carried over to a tv show. I think ,given time ,the characters could all bed-in a bit more and we'd have a pretty good ,fun ,weekly show that is different from the usual stuff we get.. Great job ,hope to see more ,including the underworld goddess !

Super adorable. Wouldn't be surprised if it became a cult classic. ✨

A fun, refreshing spin on the vampire genre. Lighthearted and super entertaining. Loved the script and the styling. Overall really enjoyed it. Look forward to hopefully seeing more!
