Frankie
is a young virgin who has been left with a big responsibility.
His parents have gone to Europe for the summer and he is alone
at home. One night while at the beach, his good friend Boagie
is attacked by some kind of flying creature. Immediately after
the attack, the two boys meet Moondoggie, a beach bum who likes
to party.
Eager to use the empty house for fun, Boagie volunteers Frankie's
house so that Moondoggie and his friends can party. Moondoggie
arrives with two hot women, one of which is played by Carmen Electra,
and a fat, goofy lackey named Bruno. They soon take control of
the place and Frankie starts to notice something strange about
his new guests. When the brood targets Frankie's fine and
equally virginal girlfriend, he asks for help from the local vampire
hunter, Ludwig Van Helsingmeister aka The Big Kahuna.
That's right. The last sentence of the previous paragraph
is not a typo. This movie has some major problems, none of which
were listed above. Let's start with the film's dialogue.
Oftentimes throughout the film, the dialogue comes off as corny
and predictable. There are several scenes in the movie that do
not have any relation to the plot and it makes the movie seem
longer than its hour and forty minutes.
Along with bad dialogue, there are equally bad characters. Bruno,
Moondoggie's man servant, plays almost the exact same role
as Jar Jar Binks did in Star Wars Episode I. He is of little significance
to the story and is there only for comic relief. What would have
been a relief was if his character was never introduced at all.
The same can be said for Ludwig Van Helsingmeister. I really liked
Adam West in the old Batman television show. That is why it is
painful for me to see him in a role that is devoid of any intelligence
whatsoever.
Finally, the production was amateurish at best and it gave me
the feeling that I was watching someone's high school drama
project. There was a scene in particular when Moondoggie first
appears in Frankie's house where the boom mike is clearly
shown dangling over the heads of the actors. And with little blood
and no gore to speak of, this movie should not be seen by anyone.
If there was one positive aspect I could pull from this debacle
it would be that the women involved were very hot. From Frankie's
girlfriend to Moondoggie's two followers, there was enough
scantily clad eye candy to avoid getting a big goose egg in my
rating. However, the rest of the film's flaws were too severe
to be overlooked.
