Review of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) by Alex P — 26 Mar 2011
Not for everyone. It is one of my five favorite movies of all time for sentimental reasons. It also has everything needed to make a truly perfect campy 80s comedy. I can imagine though that many square people won't be able to laugh at this humor nor will many understand that the writers' goal.
If you are easy going though and a fan of the beautiful mix of slapstick meets intelligence of Mel Brooks, campy 80s comedies like Weird Science or Reposessed, or societal satire like King of the Hill or American Dad, you will have a great time watching Elvira.
Her geniously concocted character of Elizabeth Bathory meets valley girl will make you fall in love.
