Bram Stoker’s Dracula based on Vlad the Impaler is well known to every fan of vampires but slightly less known is the legend of the Vlamescu tribe created by writer John Saul. Saul depicts vampires, led by Romanian born Anton Vlamescu, as daywalkers who suck the living juices or energy from humans for their survival. This allows them to stay forever young and also makes them extremely attractive to humans whilst also invoking fear in the mortal souls.

Whether you believe in the Stoker, Saul, or some other version of what vampires are, the creatures remain shrouded in mystery making them a fascination, especially for those who attempt at delivering entertainment. The use of allegory to tell stories of a sensitive nature is not new in art forms and the film, Lesbian Vampire Killers, reeks of it to the point of contempt. The comedy horror film tells the story of two male ‘losers’ who, while on a trekking camp, try to save a group of young girls from lesbian vampires bent on making the girls their meals.

The lesbian vampires want nothing more than to get rid of the guys and transform the pretty girls into vampires. It’s interesting to note that the movie, which has already been released in a few countries, depicts the vampires as sex-hungry and violent, wishing only to enslave the girls to fulfil their carnal desires. Vampires are believed to evoke fear and even respect, not disgust. Could it be possibly that they have been shown this way only because the movie tells the story of homosexual vampires? No wonder the film has angered lesbians already.

Lesbian Vampire Killers also shows how the women are saved, in part, by the power of the Church (that no doubt invoked the power of the Father and the Holy Ghost) to safely deliver the girls into the arms of the waiting men. The implication that the girls are safe only with straight men (even complete losers) is unsavoury, to say the least, and downright unacceptable when the men enjoyed watching the vampires making out. This mimics what one usually sees in real life; it is strange how most straight people who rant about the unnaturalness of homosexuality have no problem watching two people of the opposite sex making out. Those who wish to see some nude bodies and get excited by cheap thrills would enjoy the movie; it has been deemed extremely funny by the groups of males whose ultimate sexual fantasy is watching girls making out. If you are looking for a true horror with a good story line (or one that doesn’t insult any minority group) then this isn’t for you; you would most probably find it offensive.
