ShangLuda Admirable film.

Cunninghamolga This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

JLRMovieReviews George Hamilton is the only Dracula with style and a tan. Seriously, there is no seriousness in this hip update on the Count that just won't die. Now he lives in New York, after being evicted from his own castle in Transylvania. Inconceivable! And, George Hamilton plays Dracula to the hilt. It would be easy to say that George Hamilton is the whole show, making Dracula a three-dimensional character and relate-able to the viewers, but he is not. Arte Johnson is equally fantastic as his eccentric and offbeat sidekick, Renfield, and his laugh is too much. He can really get into character and the viewer senses he is enjoying himself a lot in his role. Equally great is Richard Benjamin as a psychiatrist who has loved patient Susan Saint James for years and has proposed to her, but she does not love him and has turned him down repeatedly. When she meets Dracula and falls for him and Dracula gives Benjamin a run for his money for her affection, Benjamin goes ballistic. Benjamin is so good at dead-pan delivery, by that I mean he says his unbelievable lines with so much conviction and seriousness, as to really get you to believe him. Susan Saint James is good too, but with three excellent over-the-top performances by Hamilton, Johnson, and Benjamin, she is left in the dust and is kind of boring in comparison to the other much-animated actors. Three great performances like these in a movie like this is rare and they make "Love at First Bite" a must-see for Movie Comedies 101. Cameos by "The Jeffersons" Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford are a hoot, too. But does she really want to be one of the un-dead forever? With George Hamilton, she might begin to live!

Boba_Fett1138 It's a bit odd, that even while I really liked watching this movie, I still have to say it's a far from great or truly recommendable one.The comedy of the movie is quite good and makes this movie a fun one to watch. It's some typical spoof stuff but what else did you expect from a movie titled "Love at First Bite", that tells you the story of Dracula, set in modern times. The entire concept might sound a bit lame but they came up with some pretty good and creative stuff, which makes this movie different from other similar genre movies, that attempt to place an old horror icon in modern times. Really, even while this is a comedy, it's not half as lame as some other, more serious movies, that use a similar sort of concept.But still, its story at the same time forms a problem for this movie. I literally couldn't understand what its premise was all about and why Dracula needed to go to New York to find a particular girl. Because of this, I never could get into the story and therefore also started to care less about anything happening in it. The movie its story doesn't seem solid enough and they don't really let it play a role in the movie. It gets pushed to the background too easily and relies mostly on its characters and the actors who are portraying them, to do some good and fun stuff.And this still is the case for most of the movie. Yes, the actors still make this a good watch, with a surprising George Hamilton playing the lead role. When I think off George Hamilton, I don't really think first of comedy as well. But he was surprisingly great and entertaining in his role as the famous blood sucking count. Same goes for the supporting cast really, with actors such as Arte Johnson and Richard Benjamin playing some good and fun roles.It's a a fun but at the same time also messy and quite poorly told comedy. A more competent director could had probably still turned this into a far more successful and classic movie! The potential for it was all there really.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Aaron1375 Of all the vampire comedy movies this one has to be one of my favorites. "Lost Boys" is probably number one on the list, but it has a bit more horror elements than does this movie. This one just works as the lead George Hamilton was very good in the role of the bloodsucker. I also like the guy who was some sort of descendant of Van Helsing. I love how he kept getting the way you kill a vampire wrong to the point of shooting Hamilton's character with silver bullets in a restaurant and the last scene where he is putting on the cape thinking that is how the count attracted the ladies. All around funny movie as it really worked for me as the cast was good, the plot was good and the humor was good. I am not the biggest fan of comedies this one though really made me chuckle quite a bit. Hamilton also did a Zorro movie that was not quite as good as this one, but was also rather funny. I wonder how he did not star in more comedy type roles as that genre really suited him very well. The role of the count fit him well too, as he was a bit serious at times and at others very funny. A lot of scenes stand out in this one. Much better than most comedies they put out these days that seem to think the only thing that is funny is bathroom humor.

missstephie In 1979, one of my favourite Vampire movies was released, 'Love at First Bite'. With its cheesy dialogue, romance plot line and toned, tanned and accented 'George Hamilton' playing the sad vampire, 'Count Vladimir Dracula', this movie was a comedy success just waiting to happen.Vladimir is a Vampire with a heart. He is lonely, tired of his un-life and longing for companionship. But each and every time he has tried throughout the centuries to find his true love, something terrible always happened. And now, he is being evicted from his Transylvanian home and so has decided to move to New York to find his love, 'Cindy Sondheim', played by the beautiful 'Susan Saint James'.Cindy is a model (naturally) but surprisingly isn't as up herself as one would expect. Her character is much more self-conscious and down to earth than I had expected, which added to my enjoyment of the film.Soon enough, with the help of his servant and companion, 'Renfield', acted with such creepiness and downright filth by 'Arte Johnson', Vlad finally meets Cindy and proceeds to woo her with his deadly charm. But there is one problem. Cindy's psychologist and part-time lover, 'Dr. Jeffery Rosenberg' gets in the way, by opening up and confessing that he changed his name and that he is really a 'Van Helsing'. Jeffery then does his best to save Cindy and kill Vlad.One of my favourite scenes is set in a restaurant. Cindy and Vlad are having dinner when Jeffery bursts in, pulls out a gun and shoots Vlad three times in the chest, proclaiming that three silver bullets would kill him. But Vlad simply laughs and replies that the joke was on him, silver bullets are for werewolves. Jeffery is dragged out by the police and exclaims as he goes; 'No harm done. The man's alright. This was for a werewolf. No problem. Calm down, take it easy. I'm a Doctor, I know what I'm doing. It's alright, he's even got a little colour.' Overall, an excellent movie with a great cast and wonderful camera work and effects. The dialogue can be a bit cheesy at times, but it's definitely funny either way. There a lot of good lines throughout, but you'll have to watch it to hear them for yourself.
