The perfect overabundance of camp mixed with raw, amateur filmmaking made this a blast to watch. There was even a Three Stooges eye poke thrown in for good measure. Making the journey more about the plight of staying fed (with blood, of course) was the natural choice for a hero-free story. She’ll give to who she wants, and if you act entitled she’ll take your tongue, your blood, and your testicles. The story may boil down to a fight over a woman, but it’s a damn powerful woman at least. I don’t understand the cover art for the alternate title: New York Vampire, as it looks like a Skinemax movie.
Reusing some exterior shots from Lamberson’s earlier film, Slime City was smart. I mean, what would you say when you’re about to get a blow job from a Vampire? “Watch the teeth!” Of course. Maybe clever would be a better word, but it’s still raunchy humor. The film succeeds at being funny while not crossing into slapstick. That wild west feeling of the early nineties when the gatekeeping of filmmaking seemed to lift its prerequisite. Lamberson, who comes from the Buffalo, New York, area brings a Kevin Smith vibe to sleazy horror. Fessenden is more guttural and maybe that is acquired with some geographical assistance. The comparison to Habit may seem like low-hanging fruit, but both films carry the same spirit while having completely different tones. There is a Fessenden vibe to the film without the stench of New York City.
Let’s dig into 1991’s “Undying Love”, directed by Gregory Lamberson! As I See It Low budget, film school level production that delivers on its camp promise, from the filmmaker who brought us “Slime City”.Īfter a failed suicide attempt Scott becomes immortal thanks to a tryst with a real-life vampire.
