Mark and his buddy’s go to a bar that’s purpose is mainly to instantly hook up and Mark meets the Countess.
Enter Mark, a high school guy who really wants to lose his virginity, but his girlfriend just isn’t ready yet. Through this, she has acquired a group of loyal servants. Still, there’s a charm, and enjoyment to this one, and older generations will still like it or enjoy it if they’ve not seen it before.įor 400 years, the Countess has kept herself looking good and young by drinking the blood of a virgin three times before Halloween night every year. I mean, they currently have the Luke Evans Dracula Untold as their guide to the most famous bloodsucker which is eons and light years away from this content. It works, and does what its doing quite well, but in “holding up” or being relevant with a modern generation, it may not be so successful.
#Love at first bite youtube movie#
The music, the references, jokes and overall feel of the movie is very 70s. Do be warned that there is a Vacation-esque racially dated and one gender-dated humor scene in the film. Love At First Bite is still pretty funny, but I’m also a bit older, to where I’d understand this film’s humor, time and place. So, our double feature disc is a whole one degree of separation apart. In that movie, he co-starred with Lauren Hutton, who is one of the stars of the other film on this double feature. He would also two years later do another dig on a classic character in Zorro: The Gay Blade. Here, as Dracula, he digs all in, committing to being a ridiculously stereotypical version of the prince of darkness. What I dig about the guy though, is that he has no problem with not taking himself seriously. Hamilton might be one of the suavest mofo’s to ever grace the screen in cinema history. George Hamilton plays the iconic Count Dracula in this rendition. And unlike the Hammer Dracula movie that had the Count going to the 1970s, this one is actually worth your time. Its also a parody/comedy film instead of a straightforward approach.
Love At First Bite, however, features Dracula, but is a story entirely of its own. Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu and John Badham’s Dracula both were takes on the Bram Stoker novel. 1979 brought us not one, not two, but three Dracula films. Last year we had two Hercules films, and famously everyone remembers the year of Deep Impact and Armageddon. In Hollywood, its not uncommon that ever year, you’ll have two movies that cover the same exact subject matter.
While Dracula learns that America contains such wonders as blood banks, he also proceeds to suffer the general ego-crushing that comes from modern life in the Big Apple as he romantically pursues flaky fashion model Cindy Sondheim, whom he has admired from afar and believes to be the current reincarnation of his true love (an earlier being named Mina Harker). The world-weary Count travels to New York City with his bug-eating manservant, Renfield, and establishes himself in a hotel. The infamous vampire Count Dracula is expelled from his castle by the Communist government of Romania, which plans to convert the structure into a training facility for gymnasts. These are two comedies that cover both classic era vampires (Dracula) and ones in the modern world more akin to that of a Fright Night type ( Once Bitten actually released the same year as Fright Night). But I also find it funny that they both have a play on the number one and the word “bite” in their titles as well. That’s an easy common thread to find them as a double feature in a pack. This Double Feature includes the George Hamilton 1979 romp Love At First Bite and the early Jim Carrey teen sex comedy Once Bitten. We’ve already talked about Vampire’s Kiss, but the other two are comedies as well. They’re releasing three of them that week.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Scream Factory is stocking up on the most romantic of classic movie monsters, the vampire.
