Review of Vampires: Los Muertos (2002) by Pete 1 — 13 Dec 2010

...I'm a very generous & understanding critic - I gauge films on what they "aspire to be"...not necessarily MY personal preferences. e.g.: If I dislike a film because i'm not fond of that genre or that actor, I will NOT judge it based on my personal bias.

That being said......Vampires - los muertos falls into that rare category of "Embarrassingly awful" - I was amazed that someone actually got it onto late night cable! This one star is not a cruel exaggeration; it truly is THAT bad. While watching it you can't help but marvel in thoughts such as, "Wow...how did this actually make it through production & editing??? Didn't anyone stand up at some point and say, 'um, wait a minute...what are we doing??'". The writing perhaps is the most absurdly terrible part of the whole mess....Bon Jovi tries - but either doesn't know how to modify the script or wasn't allowed to stray off the script. The story is incredibly lame, the writing "amazing horrible", and the acting....who knows - when the writing & direction is this bad, you can't even tell where the blame falls. I literally changed the channel 20min. before the finale because I just couldnt fake caring anymore..
