      Tony Asankomah GhMovieFreak Vampire Burt's Serenade is interesting in a weird way. Although it doesn't succeed at actually serenading you in anyway ... it does enough to keep you occupied for its almost 80 minutes runtime. Rated: 5/10 May 22, 2020 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat An unconventional and enjoyable little title. Rated: 6/10 May 19, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member There's plenty to love in this theatrical, campy, raunchy vampire musical. Despite being low budget this film has a great cast full of unexpected yet familiar faces. You never know exactly where it's headed but it's a fun ride with tons of great original music. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Linda P If you love cheesy B horror comedy in the vein of Rocky Horror Picture Show, you'll get a kick out of this! I'm going to add it to my Halloween collection of films to see yearly! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/01/20 Full Review Audience Member A wild, sexy fever dream of a movie musical, Vampire Burt's Serenade is a bloody, good romp filled with plenty of fetish and camp. Kevin Scott Richardson leads a terrific cast fully committed to a dark, twisted, and very funny alternate reality bathed in sex, drugs, and violence reminiscent of the best of cult B-Horror flicks. While the homages to Lynch and Raimi abound, it's the Rocky Horror meets Bob Fosse musical numbers that elicit the most laugh-out-loud moments, providing genuinely clever songs by composer Paul Goldowitz. Low-fi effects, gore, and a killer ending make this short, horror-comedy-indie perfect viewing for these existential times. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Cult classic ! Hilarious, campy, and fun to watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Kevin Richardson fully embraces the role and shines as Burt the vampire in this dark and stylish musical reminiscent of Rocky Horror Picture Show and What We Do In The Shadows. His Backstreet fans may be taken aback by the edginess and blood, but his acting chops are a pleasant surprise and he looks comfortable taking centre stage. The music works seamlessly in the story, and the characters and scenarios are deliciously fun and humorous, as long as you're into dark comedy. Definitely worth sinking your teeth into! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review tim b I thought just a little of What We Do in the Shadows as I watched this movie. Vampires, humor. But Vampire Burt's Serenade is way more out there, in a really fun way! It's bloodier, campy, and just more crazy. And there's vampire songs, kitsch, and just a really wild story! Clearly the filmmaker and cast were having a great time making this. And the film has a cool 70s-80s vibe too that I dug. I'm not always into horror, but this was a deliciously over the top romp. Well worth your time! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
