Monster of the Day #2085

Yes, if a poster ever summed up with experience of watching Roman Polanski’s Fearless Vampire Killers, surely it was this one.

    Without the little inset above the title, you’d think this was “Snowed In: The Movie.”

  • Gamera977

    Hehe, yeah I was thinking ‘The Shining’…

  • Beckoning Chasm

    Can you believe I just now noticed the holes in her neck? I mean, it’s not like they look badly superimposed, resembling pushpins holding up a poster or anything…

  • Gamera977

    I saw them but they do look awful. I mean would it have killed them to add a little fake blood around the holes? Not only would it make them look better but also would draw more attention.

    Talking Japanese movies, has the stone giant from ‘Daimajin’ ever been featured as a MotD?

  • I don’t know. Seems to capture dull confusion pretty well, which was my experience watching it. I was really disappointed when I finally saw it.

  • Ken_Begg

    You and everyone else! There are a few nice sequences (the vampire ball), but comedy is not Polanski’s forte, certainly not the manic style he goes for here.

  • Also Polanski’s an utter shitheel, so watching any of his stuff knowing his story makes me ill. But I didn’t know that when I saw this, so my opinions stands entirely on the fact that it was an utter failure as entertainment.
