Very Cool!!!

Strong and Moving!

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Plot: A young woman sets out to make a documentary about a group of people who spend their weekends pretending to be vampires, only she meets another woman who claims that she actually is a vampire.Budget: About $85.00.What was so horribly wrong then Smart-Guy? I think I can understand why they thought there might be a movie in this, only they forgot that in real life there is NOTHING cool about people who think that they are really vampires, not for one second. And boy does that show through here with the bunch of dickheads that play the weekend bloodsuckers.The lesbian vampire angle (always) shows promise, and there is some T&A, but now two weeks on I battle to recall anything about this flick. It is so lightweight and yawn-worthy in its own indie little way that they forgot to make anything interesting.Also, I have two words if you desperately need to see the lesbian bits, p & orn.I have actually seen worse than this, but then I absolutely hated those films too, so that is faint praise.Final Rating – 4.5 / 10. A bit of T & A can't derail this fast train to Sh*tsville.If you liked this review (or even if you didn't) check out oneguyrambling.com

The words "lesbian vampire" bring to mind either the incoherently stylish Jess Franco/Jean Rollin 70's stuff or the modern softcore associated with Misty Mundae, Darian Caine, et al. But it would be unfair to categorize "Vampire Diary" as either, because the sexual orientation of the leads is not the main point of the film, but the intense passion that develops between them, and the lengths a person will go to in order to protect a loved one. Sure, it's not a perfect film (even at eighty-something minutes it drags at some points), but much to my surprise, "Vampire Diary" turned out to be a thoughtful, well-acted drama with supernatural overtones that might go the usual "vampirism as addiction" route we've seen before, but does it with a raw and sincere emotion, intensified by the DIY photography (videography?), that will undoubtedly be compared with the recent wave of mockumentary shot-on-video horror films (from the awesome "Cloverfield" to the genuinely terrifying Spanish flick "REC"). Granted, this pseudo-verité style is not for all tastes, but for those tired of the same direct-to-DVD zombie drivel, "Vampire Diary" will be a welcome relief and a cool breath of fresh air for the genre. I'm an avid fan of direct-to-DVD horror films (for better or for worse), and this is exactly the kind of film that feels like a reward after plowing through release after release of mercenary independent films done without passion or vision, just scraping for some loose change associated with the latest film trend. So, believe me when I tell you that there are _lots_ of worse movies in which you could invest an hour and a half, and not find even a fraction of the artistry, drama or just plain coolness of "Vampire Diary". And, goes without saying, the movie will be especially relevant to those "Goth" kids that take the role playing game "Vampire - The Masquerade" way too seriously.

Just caught Vampire Diary at a friend's house video projected on the garage wall at a party – Its pretty cool! We weren't expecting much more than a lesbian vampire flick but actually it was a bit of a surprise - edgy weird and scary – Don't expect any expensive effects - instead you get the feeling you're with real people in a real situation. Its a bit arty but there are plenty of shocks and blood! It takes a little time to understand quite where it's coming from but if you think Blair Witch with Vampires you won't go too far wrong. Vampire Diary is shot as if by Holly a documentary filmmaker exploring the 'weekend vampire' scene. It's a clever use of POV – or Point of View – just like in Blair Witch and even the new film Cloverfield. It means the films a bit slow in parts – as the camera is just put down and shoots whatever is happening! It works well though and gives the whole film a kind of 'home movie on acid' feel! Its quite spooky in parts too. Holly encounters Vicki - the stunning Anna Walton who is nothing like the other 'week-enders.' In fact she quickly shows disturbing signs that she is a real vampire! Despite this she and Holly fall for each other as Holly's friends start to disappear. Then Vicki has a big surprise for Holly and they go on the run! The ending is pretty out there – but there's lots of great Goth - rock music by bands like Interlock, Fields of the Nephilim, NFD, and others. (Someone should release a soundtrack CD??) With Anna Walton about to appear in Hellboy II and Mutant Chronicles - Vampire Diary is maybe set to be a cult classic!

It's true, it's true, this film IS truly remarkable. Rarely can an independantly made film be utterly devoid of original content in every single facet. To make films takes time, care patiance, love and commitmant, and I have no doubt to make this the filmmakers had all these things. Sadly they left talent at the door.Cheesy, trite, lacking in pace and drama. I am genuinely struggling to think of any part of this movie that deserves praise- and i have sat through Manos: The Hands Of Fate. I would add this though; I paid to see a preview screening of this film last year. It was at midnight in an independent cinema. Anyone there must love horror films to go so out of their way to see this thing. The audience laughed at the 'serious' moments and coughed at the end rather than applaud.... and all of this whils the director and some of the cast were present. Being English, it really says something when we can't even be bothered to be polite.
