PAUL MORRISSEY'S ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA tells the slow-moving tale of a vampire, named, oddly enough, Dracula, played by Udo Keir (BLADE, SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE, SUSPIRIA, and the only actor to work with both Rainer Werner Fassbinber AND Michael Bay). Unlike other movie Draculas, this one is only mildly annoyed by things like sunlight and crosses. After putting his laconic sister to bed, he and his servant head to rolickin' Italy in their jaunty jalopy (with a coffin and wheelchair strapped to the top, they look a bit like The Beverly Hillbillies) on the prowl for wirgins (the Romanian word for "virgins"). They hook up with a once-prosperous family with four comely daughters (including Stefania Casini from SUSPIRIA). Two of the daughters spend most of their time frolicking nude with socialist gardener Joe Dallesandro (CRY BABY) and each other. The doddering patriarch of the family trusts Dracula implicitly because his name has three syllabels (logical). Dracula sets about- slowly- ferreting out the wirgins and goin' to town on their necks.
This is a pretty okay vampire movie that has a lot of neat stuff but moves a little slow. Udo Keir is excellent. His sickly Dracula opens the movie by painting on his face in a non-existent reflection. When he bites a non-vigrin he goes cross-eyed and vomits- a lot. And the climax of the film consists of him running around with his arms cut off and blood spurting from the stumps. And if that's not your type of thing, there's some of lesbian action. And if THAT'S not your thing, you do get to see the naked butt of the retarded guy from THE LIMEY.
A Dracula movie with something for everyone!
