Watch Love at First Bite For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

It's a bit odd, that even while I really liked watching this movie, I still have to say it's a far from great or truly recommendable one.The comedy of the movie is quite good and makes this movie a fun one to watch. It's some typical spoof stuff but what else did you expect from a movie titled "Love at First Bite", that tells you the story of Dracula, set in modern times. The entire concept might sound a bit lame but they came up with some pretty good and creative stuff, which makes this movie different from other similar genre movies, that attempt to place an old horror icon in modern times. Really, even while this is a comedy, it's not half as lame as some other, more serious movies, that use a similar sort of concept.But still, its story at the same time forms a problem for this movie. I literally couldn't understand what its premise was all about and why Dracula needed to go to New York to find a particular girl. Because of this, I never could get into the story and therefore also started to care less about anything happening in it. The movie its story doesn't seem solid enough and they don't really let it play a role in the movie. It gets pushed to the background too easily and relies mostly on its characters and the actors who are portraying them, to do some good and fun stuff.And this still is the case for most of the movie. Yes, the actors still make this a good watch, with a surprising George Hamilton playing the lead role. When I think off George Hamilton, I don't really think first of comedy as well. But he was surprisingly great and entertaining in his role as the famous blood sucking count. Same goes for the supporting cast really, with actors such as Arte Johnson and Richard Benjamin playing some good and fun roles.It's a a fun but at the same time also messy and quite poorly told comedy. A more competent director could had probably still turned this into a far more successful and classic movie! The potential for it was all there really.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

In 1979, one of my favourite Vampire movies was released, 'Love at First Bite'. With its cheesy dialogue, romance plot line and toned, tanned and accented 'George Hamilton' playing the sad vampire, 'Count Vladimir Dracula', this movie was a comedy success just waiting to happen.Vladimir is a Vampire with a heart. He is lonely, tired of his un-life and longing for companionship. But each and every time he has tried throughout the centuries to find his true love, something terrible always happened. And now, he is being evicted from his Transylvanian home and so has decided to move to New York to find his love, 'Cindy Sondheim', played by the beautiful 'Susan Saint James'.Cindy is a model (naturally) but surprisingly isn't as up herself as one would expect. Her character is much more self-conscious and down to earth than I had expected, which added to my enjoyment of the film.Soon enough, with the help of his servant and companion, 'Renfield', acted with such creepiness and downright filth by 'Arte Johnson', Vlad finally meets Cindy and proceeds to woo her with his deadly charm. But there is one problem. Cindy's psychologist and part-time lover, 'Dr. Jeffery Rosenberg' gets in the way, by opening up and confessing that he changed his name and that he is really a 'Van Helsing'. Jeffery then does his best to save Cindy and kill Vlad.One of my favourite scenes is set in a restaurant. Cindy and Vlad are having dinner when Jeffery bursts in, pulls out a gun and shoots Vlad three times in the chest, proclaiming that three silver bullets would kill him. But Vlad simply laughs and replies that the joke was on him, silver bullets are for werewolves. Jeffery is dragged out by the police and exclaims as he goes; 'No harm done. The man's alright. This was for a werewolf. No problem. Calm down, take it easy. I'm a Doctor, I know what I'm doing. It's alright, he's even got a little colour.' Overall, an excellent movie with a great cast and wonderful camera work and effects. The dialogue can be a bit cheesy at times, but it's definitely funny either way. There a lot of good lines throughout, but you'll have to watch it to hear them for yourself.

"Ooooh I, I love the nightlife I got to boogie On the disco 'round, oh yea.."The classic scene in the disco with Hamilton and Saint James sticks in my mind, although so do many other other scenes. This truly classic laugh-a-minute must stand as a truly guilty pleasure with many admitting despite its silly tone, it sure is funny- yep it sure is.I hired out the movie not expecting a great deal- it simply got it out to watch the movie. What I got was a fantastic comedy with romance, elements of parody and gold comic acting.I could go on about "Love At First Bite" but I will simply say this...SEE THIS MOVIE NOW NOW NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Despite the '70s sleaze and feel to it, this is still a classic comedy with many laugh-out-loud scenes, similar to the Dracula spoof Mel Brooks put out in the '90s (Dracula: Dead And Loving It). Brooks must have been inspired watching this film.Susan St. James is okay in the female lead role here but almost all the laughs are produced by three guys: George Hamilton IV, Arte Johnson and Richard Benjamin. This has to be Hamilton's best role by far. He excels with his deadpan humor and restrained style as the famous "Count Dracula." Johnson, as "Renfield," still makes me laugh with his stupid laugh in here and Benjamin added a lot of spark to the film the moment he entered, playing the ultra-liberal psychiatrist who knows who Dracula right off and tries in vain to stop him.Speaking of "liberal," this film is like something discovered out of a time capsule, if you want to see the most Liberal period in American history - the '60s and '70s - with the too-casual attitude toward sex, drugs and anything of moral value. St. James, as model "Cindy Sonheim," gives us Exhibit A of that, with Benjamin close behind.Since all four of the major characters in here provide tons of entertainment in this hour-and-a-half, this movie always is fun to watch, no matter what era.
