The Last Vampire On Earth (2010)

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

RELEASED IN 2010 and directed by Vitaliy Versace, "The Last Vampire on Earth" chronicles events in northeast Ohio when a nice religious girl (McKenzie Grimmet) meets a mysterious-but-nice guy (Michael Bole) at college and falls in love. Problems arise when she and her family discover that he's a 2000 year-old vampire (!). Even worse, she's diagnosed with a fatal disease.This is an extremely low-budget flick with wooden non-acting, stilted dialogue, bad lighting, questionable sound, basic camera angles and so forth. On top of this, the writer confuses traditional protestant doctrine & practices with that of the Jehovah's False Witnesses. For instance, there are references to "going to church" and the "pastor" when, in fact, JWs don't use this terminology. Their meeting facilities are called "Kingdom Halls" (which, to be fair, is referenced once in the movie) and their leaders are referred to as elders. The "Kingdom Hall" building depicted in the movie is a traditional church facility. Obvious flaws like this reflect bad (or non-existent) research.The second thing you need to understand is that this is not a horror story. It's a youth drama or love story involving a winsome girl and a good vampire. If you can overlook the low-level of production and adapt to the movie's limitations, the story's generally engaging with a couple of boring parts.The director was born in Russia and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. This was only his second movie, but he kept at his chosen craft and has gone on to bigger and better things in filmmaking. I love to see people make-do with what they got to create and improve as they persevere in faith. Do not despise humble beginnings.THE FILM RUNS 90 minutes and was shot in Youngstown & Boardman, Ohio. WRITER: Mandie L Abraham wrote the screenplay based on her self-published novel.GRADE: D

Still a better love story then twilight 10/10 ign. Also has no magical lighting fairy vampires in the sun dust, so I guess that also makes this film better.Plus the lead actor is Shrek and Shrek is love, shrek is life. I would advice anyone who is blind to watch this with the sound turned off for maximum pleasure.

THE LAST VAMPIRE ON EARTH is an example of what happens if you try to rip off TWILIGHT on a budget of zero dollars. It's a lame teen romance featuring very terrible acting, laughable plotting, and an ugly filming style that makes the whole thing look bleached. It's very hard for me to think of something nice to say about this production; maybe the music is half-decent, but that's about it. The main problem is that they forgot to make any of the characters interesting or likable, and that alone kills the film.

This is a horrible movie, the only reason I saw this movie was because it was on a $5 DVD with 8 horror movies on it. The film is about a female student named Chloe befriending a vampire named Aurelius. The pace of the film is very slow,there isn't much of a story or plot to the film at all. The first half of the movie is Chloe and Aurelius just casually talking back and forth like a couple of shy teenagers getting to know each other. Their conversations seem pointless and boring, it makes the hour and twenty minute movie seem like it will never end. We don't find out Aurelius is a vampire until the second half of the movie, then their pointless conversation turn to even more boring ones about him being a vampire. The only stereotypical vampire traits Aurelius follows is that he drinks blood, which he buys from a traveling blood bank. He doesn't bite or kill anyone and he walks around during the daylight like everyone else. There is no story and no plot to this film at all unless you like watching two teens have unmindful conversations about nothing I wouldn't waste your time watching this.
