Watch Nightlife For Free

So much average

Simply A Masterpiece

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I don't like this movie...I LOVE IT! It (to me) was funnier than "Love At First Bite" and "The Fearless Vampire Killers". This is a well written script that isn't over the top--even though the character of Vlad is in more of a need of a psychiatrist than a bride (sort of like Barnabas Collins--which Ben Cross also played later--but couldn't use wicked humor in that show)! The housekeeper pumps more life into this movie also! Her interaction with Cross when he's ringing the doorbell repeatedly will leave you in stitches! I won't give the ending and all that away so I really don't consider this a spoiler but I warned you in case you haven't seen it. That scene seriously rocks! The cast as a whole was a great ensemble. Despite what others rated this as, it was well done, well executed and deserves praise and not too much criticism. This is a movie I'll watch again and again.

OK, I don't know who wrote that plot outline, but they had clearly NEVER seen the movie.Yes, a perfectly preserved mummy is discovered outside Mexico City and sent to a museum there. But it was not a "dead" vampire who was looking for "his" lost love. It was, rather, a female vampire who'd buried herself in an effort to escape her sire/lover, Vlad.She then discovers blood banks, TV, radio, recorded music and, finally that her attempt at escape didn't work, since Vlad had still been searching for her.Having said all that--I really think that my favorite line in the entire movie is when Vlad's 2 fledglings are standing at the back of the car that they are transporting him in which has just been stopped by a traffic cop. As the trunk opens, showing that its full of dirt, a hand shoots out of the dirt, grabbing the cop by the throat and dragging him down. The 2 fledglings are then standing there shaking their heads and one says to the other, "He just is not a morning person." Its a totally funny movie, with Ben Cross doing a great job as a psycho Vlad.

I was actually shocked with how much I enjoyed this movie, most horror movie spoofs tend to be laughably dumb. Nightlife manages to escape that fate by actually having an original story. An old world vampire tries to adjust to the twenty first century and escape her psycho ex boyfriend who just happens to be Vlad the Impaler. The cast is great, Ben Cross does a wonderful job as Vlad he plays the character as straight as if it was a horror movie not a comedy. He's actually kinda scary and that makes the hilarious reactions from the other characters seem genuine and even funnier!I love this movie and highly recommend it for a great laugh!

I saw this movie when it first came out on the USA network, and it really made an impression on me. Ben Cross was perfectly cast as Vlad (later, he was the perfect Barnabus Collins on the short-lived prime-time revival of Dark Shadows), and the supporting cast of "Nightlife" did a fine job as well (in particular, Maryam d'Abo and Keith Szarabajka).***POSSIBLE SLIGHT SPOILER*** I think my favorite thing about this movie was the way it was written. Not only was it written with a lot of humour, it's very intelligent as well. Dr. Zuckerman's solution to Angelique's need for blood was brilliant: She doesn't just need blood, she needs the rush that comes from taking blood from someone in an absolute panic. Dr. Zuckerman realizes that he needs to inject her with epinephrine (a drug similar to adrenaline used for asthma patients) to satisfy that craving as well.If you have the opportunity to see this movie, I highly recommend that you do so. Me? I'm going to buy it.9/10
