Belgium might be known for the land of waffles, Tin Tin and Jean Claude Van Damme but Vincent Lannoo is now giving us a humorous twist on the vampire genre. VAMPIRES is the latest comedy from the Benelux and is been regarded as the Spinal Tap of vampire movies a documentary style movie think Munsters!
IFC Midnight are releasing this movie in USA on VOD from July 1st, no word on a UK&Irish release hopefully it will sail across the channel and we all can enjoy it!
In the hilarious, satirical VAMPIRES, a documentary film crew introduces us to husband and wife Georges and Bertha and their children Samson and Grace, a family of vampires living in suburban Belgium. They feed on illegal immigrants and former prostitutes (referred to as "meat") and attend gatherings with other vampires in the same district. Georges is a bit creepy, Bertha a little unhinged, and Grace is trying to kill herself (which, as an immortal vampire, she can't), but otherwise they seem like a normal family. But when the partying son Samson is caught having sex with the wife of the district vampire leader, the family is exiled (under Vampire Law, handed down from Count Dracula) to Canada, where a vampire's life is a lot less protected.
