VAMPIRES SUCK

July 27th 2010 07:04
Vampires Suck
I actually discovered the trailer to Vampires Suck (2010), a super-trash spoof of the Twilight series and other pop-culture, purely by chance. It's from the same guys who gave us the Scary Movie/Date Movie/Epic Movie/Disaster Movie, etc lampoons ... Ummmm, yeah, I know.

Hey, maybe you'll smirk some, you might have a chortle, indulge in a snigger even, hell, you might even laugh out loud ...

I did, I couldn't help myself. Hey, I needed some light relief. Tragic, I know. Go figure.

Ummm, is it redundant to say no laughs here.

Shame Mel Brooks isn't around to show them how to parody with understanding ala Young Frankenstein.

JD, I was in a very whimsical and altogether throw-caution-to-the-wind mood yesterday when I posted this ... I guffawed when the wereboys started singing It's Raining Men. So sue me. My tongue is in my cheek. But of course this has none of the sophistication of Mel Brooks. I've not seen any of these guys movies, and I doubt I ever will. But for the sake of taking the piss out of Twilight, I couldn't resist posting the trailer.

I'm glad to see someone else found this amusing. I know all the other spoofs generally suck but I did find myself entertained with this one. Maybe because I didn't recognize any of the actors or maybe because it spoofs drama-driven Twilight. Anyways, if you find yourself in a whimsical mood, as Bryn stated, you might get a few good laughs.

I'm not a fan of "spoofs" and I'll probably never spend money to see this movie but I did get a laugh out of the same scene "Its Raining Men".

Not everyone can be Mel Brooks but do they have to be?

There's one spoof that all other spoofs have to measured against: This Is Spinal Tap.

Never saw "This Is Spinal Tap". I know I know. So sue me.

I'm actually afraid that the hype would ruin it for me. All in good time though.

I'm probably going to be reduced to writing reviews for episodes of the smurfs for this but I nearly wet myself when he turned into a Chihuahua.

Nothing wrong with whimsical moods Bryn

Chris Guest is the man for spoofs of real world activities for sure and Spinal Tap is his masterpiece. For your consideration did tackle the movie world though and I was one of the few who seemed to like it.

I love a good movie spoof, The Zuckers are also superb at them. I even laughed at Loaded Weapon.

Dead Men don't Wear Plaid is an all time fave from Mr Reiner too.

It just seems the genre has been reduced to such an obvious, base level, lowest common denominator that I can't even recall the last time one amused.






PS - To Deni

Not everyone can be Mel Brooks but do they have to be?


I don't ask that all comedy spoofs be Mel Brooks, but i do demand that they manage to be funny or at least smile worthy

I still rate Flying High (aka Airplane) as one of the funniest spoofs of all time.
And yes Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid is superb as well (for the noir genre).
I also rate Top Secret (another Zucker flick) very highly too (for the war-spy genre)
And of course Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles ... (horror and Western respectively)

Love all the ones you listed Bryn. Still funny after all these years.

Top Secret may well be more laughs a minute than any other film made

Oh, JD You didn't have to explain what you meant - I understood what you were saying the first time around. It's just that everyone has their own style and idea of what works...funnily enough I barely laughed when I saw "Young Frankenstein". I admit that I haven't seen all of Mel Brook's movies but the only one that had me in tears and stitches is "Blazing Saddles", which is a bit off-topic because it's a satire. But Young Frankenstein wasn't that great to me (gasp!).

It's all subjective.

Deni ... so what makes Blazing Saddles a satire ... and this a spoof? I'm curious to hear your distinction.

Bryn,

A spoof can be satirical, but it must be comedy ala "Vampire Sucks", whether it's social commentary, I have no idea but it doesn't look it judging from the trailer.

"Blazing Saddles" is a satire but more so an ironic commentary that typically attacks, ridicules, or otherwise critiques its target.

Vampires Suck could be construed as social commentary since Twilight has stormed the adolescent demographic like nothing else in recent years (outside of Harry Potter), and that target group see Twilight almost as a way of life!
It certainly seems to attack, ridicule and critique" the Twilight phenomenon.
An example of what I understand to be a satire would be Brazil, or M.A.S.H.
Blazing Saddles satires the relationship Hollywood has had with the African-American ... but it disguises it as a spoof of the Western.

Almost a way of life? I, personally, will reserve judgment about that. Edward and Bella will eventually ride or fly off into the moonlight and on with their careers. Right now, I see it as more of a fad. Definitely a phenomenon, no different from DiCaprio when he sank with the Titanic - thank goodness that movie made it impossible for sequels and the return of Jack Dawson. Twilight will not go any further than a few months after the last film is released. If it is still "almost" a way of life long after that then "I'll be damned"

Vampires Suck, from what I've read is a parody film. I haven't seen it but I've read that it simply pokes fun at all the vampire-themed movies that the public has been bombarded with. A spoof no different from Scary Movie and the teen horror fad.

I think that a satire which disguises itself as a spoof is still a satire.

BTW, I hit the post button too fast. In a bit of a rush. I understand what you mean about BS being disguised as a spoof. I think it's main purpose is to act as a satire. I don't think it makes a vast bit of difference though. Is what I had meant to say.

I usually find these types of movies beyond stupid but this one does make me giggle. I think it is a case of being so bad that it's good. I love when that girl shows up out of nowhere and hits the other girl and says, "No Jacob's better."

I can't wait to see this movie. I can't stand the Twilight movies since they trashed the book. I would love to see this movie trash the trash.

Most of you are just pissed cuz it made fun at your precious Twilight ! aha it was hillarious I just wish the wayans brothers would have done it, it would have been 10 times better . I'll admit twilight is a good movie but enough is enough I cnt stand all the hype about the movie it's not the best one ever ! Que No ?
