Synopsis:
Two no-hopers. One cursed village. A bus full of foreign female students and an army of salacious lesbian vampires. It's gonna be one hell of a night!
BAFTA winning comedy-duo James Corden and Mathew Horne ( Gavin & Stacey ) decide to escape their problems and head to the country for a weekend of debauchery.
Things don't quite go according to plan and they find themselves stuck in a village where all of the women have been enslaved by a legendary vampire curse. As the night unfolds the boys have to put all of their fears (and dreams!) behind them in order to rise to the challenge of becoming Lesbian Vampire Killers.
Fletch (James Gorden) and Jimmy (Mathew Horne) decides to temporarily escape their woes and go on holiday to a remote village, only to find that all of its women have been enslaved by lesbian vampires due to an ancient curse.
Reviews And Views
Lesbian Vampire Killers helmer Phil Claydon has been hired by New Line to shoot its '80s action parody Dan Mintner: Badass For Hire The film is apparently a "light-hearted homage to 1980s action fare including Cobra and Missing In Action. Our hero sports tight, acid-washed jeans and a matchstick permanently sticking from his mouth as he confronts the issues of kicking arse in today;s world. "Phil was basically hired off the title alone of his first film," producer Beau Flynn jokes to The Hollywood...
Fantasia Festival is North America’s premiere (and largest) genre film festival. On Episode 138, we continue our coverage on the 2009 edition with reviews on Lee Demarbre’s new film Smash Cut. In addition we have an interview with the director and stars, David Hess and Sasha Grey. Also we’ll share our views on Lesbian Vampire Killers, I Sell The Dead and the latest entry into the French new wave or horror, Mutants.
I had a choice to see one of two Fantasia films playing at the same time: A Gay American Werewolf In London or Lesbian Vampire Killers. I went with the latter because: 1) The first movie doesn’t exist, and 2) I’m a sucker for catchy titles. However, horror films, like porno flicks, with memorable monikers usually don’t live up to their names. But Lesbian Vampire Killers (which screened at Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival this month) does—and not in all the ways you would expect. I was anticipating a bunch of girl-on-girl action with topless, bloodsucking lesbian ladies engaging in titillatingly licentious and raunchy sexual and violent acts, and while Lvk does have its share of girl-on-girl kissing and bloodletting, director Phil Claydon stays away from profligacy and pornography and instead delivers a crowd-pleasing, entertaining horror-comedy in the vein of Shaun Of The Dead.
Just based on the title alone, you can tell the movie Lesbian Vampire Killers isn't so much a film as a calling card, a promise that the people behind this madness will bring you the exploitation goods should you choose to hire them. And for the movie's director Phil Claydon, the gambit worked.
He's been hired to direct New Line's Dan Mintner: Badass for Hire, a comedy about an 80s-style vigilante stuck in modern times. Even Contrafilm's Beau Flynn, who will be producing Dan Mintner, admits that it was Claydon's cheeky film that got him the job: "Phil was basically hired off the title alone of his first film." Tripp Vinson, another producer, was also in the spirit of things: "Plus his film had our two favorite things in cinema: vampires and lesbians." The idea behind Dan MIntner sounds solid, especially given how many 80s action stars still walk »
