Customer Reviews of Vampire Effect
Pleasently Surprised I happen to stumble upon this movie on Cable one evening. I wasn't expecting too much more from it than a campy kung foo movie. I have to admit that I was plesently surprised. Being a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, this movie was a welcomed discovery. I had never heard of the pop group "The Twins" but you can tell that they have great chemistry together as this movie was very entertaining. It was funny, and slick and full of action. The story line really held my attention and the special effects were no less than excellent. After watching the movie I knew I had to have it for my DVD collection. Jackie Chan made a fun cameo that was right out of his own movies. You can tell he just has alot of fun with what he does. I highly recommend the Vampire Effect if your looking for a fun and exciting movie.
Am I watching the same movie?!
I never heard of this movie, but one day my Dad sent me a message about it, knowing that I was a huge fan of Martial Art movies, as well as Jackie Chan. I came here to check the user reviews and was impressed with basically nothing but 4 and 5 star reviews! Other sites also gave great reviews. I thought, "hey, how could I go wrong," so I purchased it.
Well needless to say after watching it I was shocked! I was shocked at how this movie was getting all these 4 and 5 star reviews. This movie was average AT BEST. The story showed promise and the special effects are some of the best I've ever seen, for a Chinese film. It rivals anything done in the United States. The sound was pretty decent as well, though some music, during a couple scenes, sounded like cheesy porn music.
What I couldn't get over though was some pretty cheesy dialogue, bad acting, and some parts that were just plain stupid (i.e. when Jackie Chan gives some Vampires some antidepressants and they dance to a "beat" he does on the Ambulance door).
The only really great part about Vampire Effect is the two stars of the film. These girls are cute! They also threw down, and there was a couple good fight scenes, though there is better. They are making a sequel and I may check it out, but I don't think I'll buy it. I suggest to ANYBODY to only rent this one. This is the first DVD I ever regretted buying.
A Light, Fluffy Movie
It may be closer to 2 1/2 stars. I have the import version, The Twins Effect. No, its not a Jackie Chan movie, he has several annoying cameos. To be honest, the movie would have been better without him. That said, the fighting was pretty good, and the first scene in the train station was worth the price of admition. The rest of the movie was pretty fluffy. The story was OK, with an interesting take on Vampires. The acting was mediocre, but what does one expect from the Twins? All in all, a mildly entertaining diversion.
