Just so...so bad
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
View MoreI felt I owed it to the site to review the worst movie I have in my collection. I first watched it many months ago, and felt I needed to watch it again in order to do it justice. Now, you may have gathered by now that I actually like bad movies. It's not just a curiosity, I actually enjoy sitting and giggling away at the ineptness of them. So why is it that it took me two days to psyche myself up to watch it, and even as I placed it into the DVD player I was repeating to myself ... "it's only a movie, it's only a movie, it's only a movie"? The most obvious thing that hits you when you see this movie is the concept. Midget vampires. Surely this is a surefire winner, for a small Indy flick such as this? A bit of gore, a touch of comedy, plenty to work with to create a piece of entertaining trash. How did it go so horribly wrong? This is a movie that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It is inept on so many levels, that you will start to see levels you didn't even know existed in a movie. Even the title itself is pretty inaccurate. Yes, the midgets do go for your ankles, but they also equally will go for any part of the body except your neck. Generic body part biters would be more accurate. Less catchy perhaps, but more accurate. But answer this. If you were a midget vampire, surely the best place to bite a regular sized human would be around the waist area? It would save you from having to crawl around on the floor so much. After all, you're a midget, not an idiot. Besides there would be more blood there than your ankles.So the main character, is a puny, white version of Blade. He's a half-breed vampire, a descendant of the last tall vampire (who shagged his granny). And so he has decided, for some reason to be a good guy, and kill midget vampires. He has great quips, and lines, such as "Hey.. shorty" or "Hey ... short-stuff". Occasionally he will take off his glasses to show you he is wearing those silly contact lenses that make your eyes look like cats eyes. Then there is his annoying sidekick. Something I have learnt from this movie is that if a midget is human, it is necessary for him to be a smart arse. however it's possibly worth it just for the scene where T-bone picks up Blade and spins him about. Possibly the only comedic moment in the entire film. As for the rest of the characters, you will come to the end of the movie not even knowing their names, even if you cared, because the sound quality of this film is so bad that you could do better with a home camcorder . I was having to fight with the volume consistently as it shifted between people talking close up, people talking far away and the sound effects that were obviously added in afterwards. To add to this, there is an overlay of music that is a cross between rap, Heavy Metal, Techno and country. Four extremes of music mashed together to make one horrific soundtrack.The movie tries it's best to dispel any common myths about vampires, (although no mention of why they live in redneck country). If you try to stab a vampire with a wooden steak, they will "take it out and shove it up your ass". They have sensitive eyes, but don't explode in sunlight, don't hate garlic, have reflections and "if you ask me if I can turn into a bat, I'll knock your ass across the room". glad we cleared that one up. I was starting to get worried for a second. Yet at the same time brings a whole new myth that makes no sense whatsoever. Apparently the only way to kill a vampire is to inject it with vampire blood. unless, that is, your 're a half breed vampire, in which case it makes you stronger, and makes your ears morph and go pointier. Much better than the turning into a bat thing.Moving onto the action, if you can call it that. How has the director managed to make a pub fight, with loads of fighters boring? It should be easy, punches flying, people flying, glass smashing, no problem. Yet this is the slowest, most badly organised punch up I have ever seen. The punches are obviously missing, the throws are obviously being assisted by the victims jumping, and everyone seems to stop after each attack, trying to work out who's turn it is next. The average amount of punching it takes to beat up someone else is one punch per person. Other 'action' sequences don't get much better, with the same, unique ineptness showing through at every angle.In reviewing 'ankle biters' I feel I have barely scraped the surface of it's badness. I haven't even mentioned the vampires squeaky 'Gremlin' laugh, or the midget Bill Cosby. Then there's the fact that tall vampires can't talk, but like to kill people with broomsticks for fun, not food. Or the monotonous tone in which every line is mis-delivered with a two to three second gap between each one, filled out with awkward staring. And also the fact that a lap dance is always out of the question.In Conclusion I think I can conclusively say that this movie is a lot more painful that 'Manos the hands of Fate'. This is the worst movie I have ever seen. Please don't make me watch it again, please, please!
View MoreThis is quite possibly the BEST BAD film in the World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The exceptional use of the never before used theory of midget Vampires was truly awful. As a collector of awful films I found myself in awe at this masterpiece of disaster and am still wondering to this day how anyone would deem it worthy of either its time as an actor or as the backstage crew. Furthermore to the person who decided this movie was worthy of release I am truly grateful as it has become the centre piece and jewel in the crown of my collection. The main character seems to be confused as to whether he is Angel or Blade and manages to fall superbly short of both at every action scene, every piece of dialogue and just through sheer lack of ability. Truly Awful A MUST SEE!!
View MoreAnkle Biters is quite possibly one of the worst movies ever made. Period. The story and plot are practically nonexistent. The acting (if you want to call it that) is atrocious. The camera work is boring and careless. I am a frequent renter of the lesser known horror flicks, always trying to find a diamond in the rough. This one is as rough as they come. And believe me, there is no diamond to be found. I have NEVER started a movie that I didn't finish. I will always watch them through from beginning to end. Ankle Biters is the one exception. After roughly 70 minutes, the stop button was pressed. And that's saying something. I mean, I sat through Terror Toons . . . TWICE! Case and point: Ankles Biters bites . . . HARD!
View MoreThis film is pretty much just a $10 ripoff of the Blade films but with ghetto biker zombie vampire redneck MIDGETS. Basically, there's a sword that exists that can transform a tall human who is stabbed with it into a vampire, as it is the same sword that killed the last tall vampire. Or something. The ghetto biker zombie vampire redneck midgets get ahold of the sword by making a deal with some mobsters and then it's up to Drexel and his midget pal, T-Bone, to kill the evil midgets or something. Meanwhile, the evil midgets stab a redneck mechanic, and he becomes a vampire slave. So, the rest of the film is some fights between midgets and some walking around and some talking and some horrible redneck acting. And a slow-motion backflip scene.I can honestly say that there's NOTHING to like about this film. It's a rare film that isn't so bad it's good... it's just plain BAD. It's just a boring waste of time, with the ONLY POSSIBLE SAVING GRACE being that you want to watch to see how amateurish and terrible things can get. Drexel is one of the worst human beings in history.Awful.
