Yay, a Troma movie! One doesn't expect Oscar material from a Troma movie, but damned if they're not fun to watch. This particular one is about Iris (Lancaster), a girl in love with 1950's culture and whose obsession with Elvis attracts her to an "Elvis lookalike" vampire named Eddie. His story? Back in the 1950's, Eddie was on his way to an Elvis lookalike contest when his brother, Wrecks, 'put the bite on him' and made him a vampire. Now he's on the run from his brother, whose second bite can put Eddie under his power for eternity.
If that isn't bad enough, Iris gets continually hassled by the landlord's son, who wants either rent money or nookie in order to let her stay in her apartment. Soon Wrecks and his crew find Eddie and Iris and come knocking to claim his second bite.
Though funny at times, the acting is actually pretty bad, and as far as Troma movies go, this one is pretty tame on the blood.
Despite the acting, the concept is fun, the plot runs along fairly smoothly, and the music is just awesome. I could have used more variety, but what I had to listen to I was happy with.
Rating: 3/5 Bonedaddies.
