Summary: Nostalgia - Aisle Four !!!
Review: 'Vamp' was one of those first R-rated movies I first caught as a teenager after midnight on Cinemax (before the schedule turned into soft-core porn). Thus, if you are under 21 years old, you've never heard of this flick.

Made in 1986, 'Vamp' reeks of the cheesy images one has come to recognize from movies during that decade. Overabundance of neon lights in bars/strip clubs, needlessly flowing curtains from oversized open windows, wafer thin plot, obligatory nudity ... ah, such was the decade of decadence.

Aside from Grace Jones (whom you think was literally BORN for her title role), Vamp has actors whom you reccognize, but you can't place their names - but it doesn't matter. If you're in your late 20s or early 30s, Vamp is a nice trip down memory lane. Especially for those ridiculously lame Halloween parties in high school to which the host/hostess thought a rented scary movie was a better alternative to spin the bottle. No - this ain't 'Citizen Kane' (there's a reason it doesn't exist on DVD), BUT at least you won't think you lost 90 minutes of your life if you see it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: What Momma Warned Us About...
Review: ..don't hang out with frat hooligans and bikers, don't go into strip bars, never stay out past midnight, and that they call it Skid Road for a reason.

Precursor to the fabuloso rave sprinkle of blood scene in Blade and the Tavern at the edge of nowhere on the Mexican border in Dusk to Dawn.

And, in a bit of creative casting Grace Jones plays a vampress. You almost never see this on cable, definitely cult, definitely camp.

Summary: A Class seldom seen....
Review: Can not think of one thing I do not like about this movie....Grace Jones overpowers you by sheer presence and by not saying one word!!! This movies starts up like a silly teeny scary movie; but the music; the atmosphere; the performers; and even the sorrority guys are utterly believable. This movie simmers along untill Katrina ( Grace Jones) is performing on stage; after that ...nothing is the same again. The one liners I still remember to this day...and they are countless.
A movie to buy...and watch over and over again. Amazing musical score...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Grace in Your Face
Review: Goth this is not. Grace Jones, with body paint and other accessories by Keith Harring, gives a good take on the vampire genre cum Flashdance strippers. The film showcases Grace Jones as postmodern icon; interesting soundtrack from Duran-Duran percussionist.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this film
Review: Hi guys, can I call you guys, great!Gotta love the Donger! This movie was filmed with lots of care and style. It has CLASS. The cast is perfect for the film and the decision to let Grace Jones say NOTHING is the best thing to happen to the film. If that had happened I think I would have to give this thing 3 or 4 stars. Anyway, in a much happier and fun way than Eraserhead, this film evokes a feeling of "Where in the hell does a place like this exist?" It's like a dark corner of the Twilight Zone somewhere. In fact the whole movie is similar, in effect, to a Twilight Zone episode, but with more comedy. Very Nice looking female Vampires...Just makes you want to say...BITE ME! I can't see how this review would help anyone...sorry!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Faboulous
Review: I have to say that I am VERY happy that I decided to purchase this dvd. This movie brings back soo many memories. It's been awhile since I had viewed it last.......and I have to say I am pleased that I did. I really enjoyed the commentary by Chris Makepeace, DeDee Pfeiffer, and Gedde Wantanabe. It was funny. They sounded like they had soo much fun making this movie. I also appreciate that fact that a lot of nice little extras have been added to this dvd. This is one piece of my 80's childhood that I couldn't forget.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Grace Jones...need I say more?
Review: I loved this movie when I was in high school. My friend and I would rent this movie almost every weekend, this and "Fright Night." They are both funny and scary! I bought it because you can no longer find it at Blockbuster. It's still scary and it's still funny. Grace Jones is fantastic!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a movie!
Review: I remember watching this movie when I was a kid and thought that it was really amazing and very different. I fell in love with Grace Jones because she was very unique and I was always attracted to people like that. A lot of people say this movie is 'cheesy', but I don't think it is. A few years a go it was very hard to get a hold off, until I came across a VHS copy in England. The DVD is brilliant and this horror movie is one of a kind. The actors are entertaining and Grace's performance (even though you wouldn't recognise her) is amazing! 10/10.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: VAMP....WONDERFUL HORROR!
Review: I remember watching vamp as a child. It is an excellent modern day horror movie, very 80s! I remember seeing Grace Jones and thinking she was one of the most glam,scary, cool women in the world! She is definitely horrifying in this movie!how wonderful.
