"B" Grade Vampire Spaghetti Western
29 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I saw "Death Rider in the House of Vampires"-just the name itself was intriguing-starring Devon Sawa-Escape Plan:The Extractors, Final Destination; Julian Sands-The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Warlock; Kim Director-Split, Book of Shadows:Blair Witch 2 and Glenn Danzig-he is the founder of the rock group Danzig and this is his first movie to act in.

This movie is written, produced & directed by Glenn Danzig, who also makes his acting debut in it, too-if you don't count the music videos he's done. This is his second film to direct, with 'Verotika' being his first. This movie is sort of like a 'B' grade-and I say that generously-vampire spaghetti western. The acting is bad, the camera shots end abruptly, some things are overly exaggerated, but the girls are nice to look at. The movie opens with Devon-Death Rider-riding with a girl tagging along, tied to a horse, and she seems to have lost her shirt somewhere. I must say that she is healthy, though. Devon is headed for a place called sanctuary and admission to the sanctuary is a virgin, so that explains the girl that Devon has with him. Julian is the head vampire of the sanctuary/business that has a bar that they use to lure in dinner guests-kind of like in 'From Dusk Til Dawn'. Kim is the head social director that keeps the girls in line and Glenn plays a frequent patron. There are a few cameos; Eli Roth, Sean 'X_Pac' Waltman and Danny Trejo. This movie is not for everyone but if you like 'B' grade movies-I do-you might enjoy it.

It wasn't rated but I'm giving it an "R" for bloody gore, violence, language and nudity and it has a running time of 1 hour & 32 minutes.

Like I said, it's not for everyone but I liked it and would buy it on DVD.
