I had the chance to revisit the 1979 horror comedy "Love at First Bite" here in 2021. And truth be told, I saw this movie back in my childhood, but I only remember George Hamilton was in it, and I didn't recall the storyline at all. So yeah, a refreshing visit to director Stan Dragoti's 1979 was in due order.
If you enjoy Dracula movies, then this 1979 from writers Robert Kaufman and Mark Gindes isn't really the best of choices, truth be told. In fact, I was having problems staying awake throughout the course of the movie. The storyline just didn't have much appeal to me, and thus it was progressing becoming harder and harder to stay attentive to the movie.
Visually then "Love at First Bite" doesn't really impress. Sure, the movie was from 1979, and I will say that the effects - aside from the toy bat - were actually fair enough. But they just weren't impressive.
If you enjoy comedic approached on the Bram Stoker's "Dracula" story, then there are far better choices out there.
What did work for "Love at First Bite", though, was the cast ensemble. I mean, with the likes of George Hamilton, Susan Saint James and Sherman Hemsley on the cast list.
While "Love at First Bite" is watchable, it just isn't an outstanding horror comedy.
My rating of this 1979 movie lands on a four out of ten stars.
