Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Eh, I'll go with Rockula, though Rapula clearly knows good times when he sees it. Dean Cameron plays a young vampire trying to woo a local pop star so that he can break a 400 year old curse about a peg-legged pirate who wants to beat her with a hambone. Or something. What really matters here is that Toni Basil plays Rockula's vampy mom, Susan Tyrrell and Bo Diddly play his bandmates, and the music is highly amusing. Even though this was released in 1990, it has an 80s vibe through and through, complete with bad song and dance sequences and even a faux music video. Recommended to all fans of rock/horror hybrids, 80s schlock, and inimitable Dean Cameron.
View MoreThis movie was hysterical and the music really wasn't half bad. The concept was a spoof on Dracula movies and it worked. Dean Cameron is funny, Toni Basil nearly steals the movie. Good one to watch with the kids for a Halloween laugh. If you like movies like: Clue, Naked Gun, Scary Movie, etc. You'll like this flick. How can you go wrong with Thomas Dolby as a reinvented Pirate who's destiny is to kill his love with a ham bone. Favorite scene is when they debut the music video. Not bad for a 'fake' video. Wonder why we never saw it on MTV? Phoebe must stop Mona and Ralphie from reuniting,thus spell, and keeping her son home with her forever. Not your typical vampire, Ralphie would rather drink milk than blood and he sure doesn't know much about turning into a bat. Ever seen a bat wearing boxer shorts? Search no more.a HAMBONE? LMAO!!!!! He's the DJ-I'm the Vampire.
View MoreThis movie made my face hurt. I don't understand it...things just happened, inexplicably, and they usually resulted in someone bursting into a song and dance number. I don't understand how people can laud this film with praise. There are B-movies, and then there are B-musicals, and then there is Rockula.The songs made me want to run headlong into a wall. The only saving grace is that one of the musical explosions turns out to be a musical video, which eases the pain, yet still fails to justify why it needed to exist. The most frightening section of the film is Toni Basil's creep-dance that accompanies her weird song. But on the bright side, she can manages to find the notes that she is looking for, unlike pop music sensations Rockula (aka Rapula) and Mona...wow, can we say tone deaf. So if you want to question life for about 90 minutes, see this film. If you hate your life, then buy it.
View MoreI stumbled on this one late night when I couldn't sleep. What a riot! Toni Basil plays the gun-toting mother of a slightly nerdy young vampire; Thomas Dolby is the media-besotted director of a funeral parlor, and Dean Cameron is the teen himself. This bizarre comedy includes numerous asides to the camera and a peg-legged guy with an enormous ham bone. How can you resist?
