I remember back when I bought a lot of dvds on Amazon and you could get free shipping if you bought $25 or more, so I tacked on this $3 disc hoping this movie would grow on me with further viewings. It didn't happen.

Something about this movie bugs me. Sure, it's 80s and all that, but it's not good 80s, if that makes sense. I feel like Joel Shoe-maker put too much of his gayness into this movie, because our bad boy antagonists are all pretty boy delinquents, not to mention that one random shirtless beefcake who was only in the movie because the director wanted to see him all oiled up.

One thing that's really stupid is the opening, right before the credits begin. The boys are kicked out by the security guard, and when he goes to his car afterward, he sees the vamps are after him. He tries to get into his car and grabs the door, but they fly by and pull him away, and his whole door rips off. Now that goddamn door would only come off if the security guard himself was strong enough to pull it off, but he wasn't. He was merely trying to open the door when they pulled him away, yet the whole fucking door rips off of that car? Was it held on by duct tape?

I also hate the main theme music in this movie. That song with the children singing? It's a real mood killer. Fuck that noise. Like I even like The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want", but definitely not when the children start singing.

1987 had a much better vampire movie that wasn't directed by a homo. It was directed by a woman, and it's called Near Dark. Watch that one instead.
