"So much more than a regular vampire effort ... it's a unique, hip, clever, side-splitting, well acted and at times, ballsy horror party ... 80s novelty Grace Jones has a 'you have to see it to believe it' dance/strip routine that will scare the hell out of you." - ARROW IN THE HEAD
Welcome to VAMP, a totally awesome collision of 80s teen sex comedy and gory vampire flick, starring Chris Makepeace (Meatballs, My Bodyguard), Dee Dee Pfeiffer (sister of Michelle), Gette Watanabe ("Long Duck Dong" from Sixteen Candles), and the one-and-only Grace Jones, the disco singer/feral actress from another planet who wowed audiences with her frightening performances in the 80s classics Conan the Destroyer and A View to a Kill!
When a pair of horny college frat pledges hit the big city to hire a stripper to perform at their frat house, they stumble into the very seedy "After Dark Club," which turns out to be filled with something a bit more sinister than ladies with big 80s hair who are willing to drop their clothes for money. What they find is the exotic (translation: freaky) stripper Katrina (played by the amazing Grace Jones in a full-on Keith Haring-painted bodysuit), who not only knows how to "drop it like it's hot," but who also happens to be a blood-thirsty vampire intent on draining our horn dog heroes of more than just their hard-earned money. But that's not all ... it seems that Katrina is the queen of a whole club full of stripper vampires intent on ruling the world (or at least the bad part of town they're stuck in), and they need fresh frat blood to do it!
Featuring a gang of killer albinos, primo nerd action courtesy of Watanabe, scary 80s stripper fashion, gory vampire violence, some really weird strip routines, and a totally silent performance by Grace Jones that will sear itself into your soul, VAMP is a horror/comedy that actually delivers on both fronts. If the storyline also seems a tad similar to FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (which was released a full decade later), it’s probably a safe bet that Quentin Tarantino borrowed more than a little from this creepy and kooky 80s curiosity.
