Lesbian Vampire Killers (2009)

Quartile rating: 5/10 · 1 rating

With their women having been enslaved by a pack of lesbian vampires, the remaining menfolk of a rural town send two hapless young lads out onto the moors as a sacrifice.

The Quartile Take

Lesbian Vampire Killers is a low-budget British horror-comedy that leans heavily on its cheeky title and lad-humor premise but fails to fully deliver on either the comedy or the horror. The plot is thin and derivative, borrowing liberally from Shaun of the Dead's buddy dynamic without the wit or heart. The acting from James Corden and Mathew Horne is serviceable but uneven, with the chemistry feeling forced at times. Cinematography is a relative bright spot — the rural moorland setting is used reasonably well and there are some competent horror visuals. Novelty is limited; the lesbian vampire subgenre has a long history and this adds little new beyond a self-aware comedic veneer. The ending wraps things up predictably without much payoff.
