steve d It is like the director was trying to get the worst performance he could out of the actors. Roger Daltrey is the lone bit of enjoyment and shockingly the best performance in the film. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice story. Special effects aren't modern of course, but that's quite recommendable. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A fair start. The remake should be much better with today's technology. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Talisa Soto is great in the title role, with Roger Daltrey hamming it up as Vlad. Bonus points for cameos by Forry Ackerman and John Landis. Gerry Gerani's script sets up for a sequel that never happened. A guilty pleasure. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member After the notorious despot Vlad destroys her father along with the rest of the supreme council on their home planet Drakulon, Ella takes off across the stars to a small planet called Earth, where Vlad intends to enslave the inhabitants as a source of sustenance for his dark legions. With her powers amplified, Ella aims to put an end to Vlad before he can complete his sinister plan. Forrest J Ackerman's sexy heroine comes to life in the Roger Corman production of VAMPIRELLA, but a cheesy, low-budget one, at that. Years before the major studios were tossing millions of dollars at most comic book franchises, the independents managed to squeeze out a few schlocky entries of their own, including Full Moon's DOCTOR MORDRID (taken from a screen adaptation of the Doctor Strange comics), the shelved version of Corman's own FANTASTIC FOUR, and VAMPIRELLA. It is tough to say which is worse in this case, between the poorly choreographed action sequences, the ridiculous overacting, or the narrow-minded plot. If director Jim Wynorski's resume speaks towards anything, it is his tendency to gravitate towards cheap, hastily-made exploitation films, and this is certainly no exception. When she isn't speaking, fashion model Talisa Soto looks fine enough in costume, although the design is far less flattering than one might hope. A discussion into the differences between the comics and the film would be fruitless given the liberal use of the character, so suffice it to say that VAMPIRELLA is nothing more than B-movie fodder that can easily be avoided. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review jon c so cheesy and hilarious an out-of-this-world comic book movie with bad acting, cheap special effects, and funny moments 'Vampirella' makes the jump from comic book to movie and the result is about average, it's not a great transition still, Soto looks fine in that outer space get-up and even Vlad the villain looks like he just found his costume out of the conveinance store it puts a whole new, comedic yet intergalactic spin on the vampire lore and I guess we all have to be open to that I felt very cheated again by the ending, they seriously need to tie up some loose ends majorly I did have fun watching this though, just because of the context it's made up of vampires from space, yeah you heard right Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
