Reviews
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Michael Ledo A female vampire leads a covey of vampire stripper babes. They get their victims from the strip club, one line, and call girls. A midget Van Helsing, who knows the ins and outs of this particular blood line, is after them. One of the vampires has a human bf that she doesn't kill. There is also Marvin, a weird foot tall bloody creature who looks like something out of the Puppet Master series. The first kill involves a real classy guy who takes his reluctant girl friend to a strip joint and gets her a lap dance. The movie is so corny it is funny. A good one to watch stoned. Not much horror.Hardcore porn star Harmony Rose provides the nudity in a weird scene with Marvin.
Paul Andrews Decadent Evil is set in Phoenix where two Vampires named Sugar (Jil Michelle) & Spyce (Raelyn Hennessee) work as a double act in a sleazy strip club, there they use their looks & seductive moves to lure unsuspecting punters back to Morella (Debra Mayer) their mistresses mansion so she can drink their arterial blood. Morella needs to drink the life force from 10,000 people to become invincible & become Queen of all Vampires, or something like that anyway. Morella is only two more victims away from achieving her goal & pint sized Vampire hunter Ivan (Phil Fondacaro) & Sugar's human boyfriend Dex (Danniel Lennox) are on the menu as Morella intends to use them as the last two victims she needs...Executive produced, produced & directed by king of the cheapies himself Charles Band this is actually a spin-off film from Vampire Journals (1997) & the a few minutes of that film is seen at the start of this which is odd because Vampire Journals was a spin-off itself from the Subspecies series of films which were all made & released by Band's various production companies throughout the nineties. So while Decadent Evil may be a spin-off from a spin-off it has very little to do with those other films besides featuring Vampires, the dark Gothic Eastern European locations have gone & instead Decadent Evil is set mainly inside a large house in Phoenix somewhere. Whether you will enjoy Decadent Evil will depend on your expectations, if all you want is an hour long series of soft core sex scenes, a bit of blood, a comic relief dwarf Vampire hunter & the entire thing shot with bright neon lighting then you won't be disappointed. If however your looking for a plot of some description, a hint of originality or some atmosphere then prepare to be disappointed. At only an hour or so in length at least it's short, the first twenty minutes has a strip show, a threesome that turns into a foursome, two killings, blood drinking, nudity & some straight sex so if your looking for a bit of sleaze & some blood & boobs then you could do a lot worse & I haven't even mentioned the little red creature that Morella keeps in a cage in her bedroom that used to be her boyfriend yet have I?I must say the women on show here are all universally hot & Band sure knows how to cast a stripper or a hooker. Spyce in particular is hot. There's not much gore here, a few slit throats & a bit of blood, nothing amazing. The nudity count is better with lots of bare flesh on show & even that little red creature gets in on the act & gets to lick a hooker's tittie. The entire thing is shot like a cheap 80's pop music video with glaring bright neon lighting all over the place, it sort of looks alright I suppose & adds the overall cheapness. The special effects are passable & at least there's no CGI in it. There's a nice nod to Charles Band's previous production company as the motel Spyce goes to is named the Full Moon Motel.Filmed in Los Angeles I can't imagine how low the budget for this was as most of it takes place in one location. The acting is as good as expected although Fondacaro is fun as the Vampire hunter & surely the sexy & quite good Debra Mayer deserves better than this.Decadent Evil passes an hour for those who know what to expect & demand little more than some blood & naked flesh, watchable in it's own right but hardly brilliant. Followed by Decadent II (2007) which I currently have & will be watching soon.
barnthebarn Particularly odd movie from Charles Band and his Full Moon studio. With a cast of merely 10 people and a hour running time there is little chance to really develop the story. Debra Mayer is suitably sexy and superbly acts in the main role. Not sure what Phil Fondacaro is doing with a kind of Sherlock Gnomes (sorry, that was bad but so is his performance here) chasing vampires and the like. Mayer is not too happy at this and alongside a horny Marin (small bloody looking puppet) seeks to destroy him but then perhaps Marvin has plans of his own. Lots of sex (including ugly puppet sex) this feels more sleazy that other Band films, mainly I think, because of the awfully weak story. The first 10 minutes of the movie are merely randomly edited segments of Subspecies movie 'Vampire Journals' explaining the legend of Radu (Subspecies vampire) and Ivan's (Fondacaro) task to track vampires like Radu-his arch enemy. Charles Band takes credit for the song 'Dance Trance' though anyone who has seen 'Run, Lola, Run' will know that this is actually Franke Potente's song from this with slightly different words. Naughty. Production company is 'Astonishing Features' but that is a far off mark this time, though fun none the less.
YugoNinja This unwatchable "work of art" has re-invented the word for crap. This "thing" some people unrightfully call a movie has it all: an incredibly appealing title (DECADENT EVIL; but could as well be: VAMPIRE STRIPPER WHORES SEEK IMMORTALITY BY WHIPING OUT AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY WITHOUT ANYONE NOTICING), an astonishing cast (three pseudo-actresses picked up directly from the street, a dwarf, and a guy with a broom stuck up his ass), a thought-provoking plot (a vampire queen wants to become invincible (what for?) by sucking the blood of 10 000 (or so) victims...), great lines (topless girl HAND-CUFFED to a bed: I'm calling the police!), 3 locations (a Gothic mansion, a sleazy strip club and a hotel room - all of which was probably a masterfully camouflaged director's kitchen), some memorable scenes (the "demonic doll" Marvin masturbating by the bed where the topless girl (free nudity) is handcuffed and then licking her nipples while she is dubiously trying to resist him (great actress in my humble opinion) and all the scenes where blood is not spurting from the veins of the victims but thrown by someone off-camera to the actor's throats - pure genius, I tell you), a respectful length-time (an unbearable 74 minutes), a grand finale (the demonic doll Marvin screwing the vampire queen who was herself transformed into a demonic doll with the help of Marvin's son (the dwarf actor)). By watching this thing I unfortunately (for myself and my now weak mental stability) discovered the bottom of the bottom. I discovered the dark recesses of wasted film tape. And it has come to my knowledge that Charles Band has created several masterpieces of this kind (around 200! - one of them being Gingerdead man starring Gary Busey!!!) which will eventually (and unfortunately) find their way to a DVD release, if they haven't already... But Charles Band, the director, producer, writer (and God knows what else) of this..."everything but a movie" thing has all of my respect, because he had the guts to film something so insulting to the human intellect, to good taste and to the concept of movie itself. I would be lynched for filming that in my country. I think that in some cases, especially in America, freedom of speech and the right to free expression should be controlled by some organization. Organization that (if it existed) wouldn't allow things like this to happen, not now and not in the future. Who gave Charles Band the director's chair? Why is he doing this? Why doesn't anyone tell him to change profession? And finally, what did I do wrong to deserve this? Yeah, I know, it was my fault in the first place. Next time I see a Charles Band film I'll flee the country and settle somewhere in the world where American movies are banned, especially cheap horror movies with the obligatory sex scene and a predictable plot (if any). My vote? Are you joking? This thing is "unvotable". The IMDb staff should create a new voting system for all of Charles Band "movies".
