Trailer—Vampires: Los Muertos

Vampires: Los Muertos

This movie isn't very good. It's boring, and not much blood for a horror film. The plot just trods along with not much happening. And I think the female vampire was so stupid. She had many chances to kill the vampire hunters since it shows her having lighting like reflexes. But, whenever she has one of them pinned, she just takes her time and something always happens where she doesn't bite them. No wonder this went straight to cable. FINAL VERDICT: Not anywhere near as good as the first Vampire movie. You're a SUCKER if you waste your time on this.

Derek Bliss (Jon Bon Jovi) is a vampire slayer chasing a beautiful vampire woman, who wants to have the power of walking during the day. This is another modern movie having the theme of Vampires. But like most of the recent ones, it does not have the charm of those original films. The vampires in this movie shall be decapitated and are destroyed by the sunlight only, sleep in churches, are not affected by cross (but are affected by bullets), move fast like "The Flash"... That is OK as an action movie, but does not have the charm of the original vampire movies, for example those from Hammer with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. I liked it as an action movie, but regarding vampire movies, better off the Hammer`s ones. My vote is six.

The original Vampires (1998) is one of my favorites. I was curious to see how a sequel would work considering they used none of the original characters. I was quite surprised at how this played out. As a rule, sequels are never as good as the original, with a few exceptions. Though this one was not a great movie, the writer did well in keeping the main themes & vampire lore from the first one in tact. Jon Bon Jovi was a drawback initially, but he proved to be a half-way decent Slayer. I doubt anyone could top James Wood's performance in the first one, though... unless you bring in Buffy! All in all, this was a decent watch & I would watch it again. I was left with two questions, though... what happened to Jack Crow & how did Derek Bliss come to be a slayer? Guess we'll just have to leave that to imagination.

This movie was messed up. A sequel to "John Carpenter's Vampires", this didn't add up right. I'm not sure that I enjoyed this much. It was a little strange. Stick to the first "Vampires", it's a good movie. "Vampires: Los Muetos" wasn't a good attempt of a sequel. 4/10

This was just on the verge of disappointing. The story builds itself around a similar plotline of the first, in that the vampire master is looking to find the mythical black cross which will allow them to walk during the day. They are opposed in this quest by the battle-hardened loner/slayer. In this case the slayer is portrayed by rocker Jon Bon Jovi. He has built an acting career around smaller, supporting roles and has done quite well in them. Unfortunately I don't think he was ready for the lead at this point. Or at least if he was he deserved a shot with a better storyline. Here the story is weak, the direction is weak,the chemistry is non-existent, and the dialogue flounders terribly. I liked the predecessor which starred James Woods and I am looking forward to purchasing Bon Jovi's newest album...can't say the same for this movie.

Let's look at the facts here. Straight-to-video. Lower budget. Different director. Cast of nobodies. James Woods: no. Jon Bon Jovi: yes. You're probably not expecting much. Frankly, it's just as well. Despite some moody establishing shots, one or two genuinely classy action moments and the odd tenuous attempt to link this film to its predecessor, the whole thing is hamstrung by a total lack of ambition, dismal script and some of the worst acting I've seen in years. It's a poor man's retread of the original on a far more modest scale, and in sequel terms about as necessary as Highlander II. And... you know... Jon Bon Jovi. What were they thinking? At least his character was called 'Derek'.

I first saw bits n pieces of this movie in the early 2k on cable tv n kinda disliked it. Revisited it recently. This is the sequel to the John Carpenter's Vampires. This one is not at all action packed or brutal like its predecessor. There is a lol scene where the character of Bon Jov blows up the head of a vampire and that too when the entire body was already in the process of being pulled out for death via sun. What was the need for it i dont understand. The lead female vampire is hot but we only get to see her tits via her thin dress. All in all a lousy sequel.

Gotta take my hat off to Carpenter....putting his name up as exec producer here. Gives new meaning to the term low budget! Little more than a juvenile re-make of the original. Vampire Hunter (Jon Bon Jovial), girl who has been bit but not turned....Priest-for-a-partner, snatch of the old "locked into the vampire's wavelength" nonsense and a few sporadically exploding vampires that wouldn't look out of place on Guy Fawkes night! But man...have a look at the hack editing, the childish and garish colors everywhere (MUST have been made ostensibly for the Mexican video market)the totally awesomely vapid acting....its a classic! For some indefinable reason though, the film takes itself soo seriously its almost enchanting. In the upshot, about as frightening as Sesame Street, as intelligent as Mike Tyson and as relevant as a 1972 typewriter! The one decent scene...the two girls about to KISS and they wimp out!
