As mad as a vampire hatter

Rating: 6/10 (26 November 2012)

Films can't get more high concept, and its about as serious as Gandhi the zombie Slayer or Nelson Mandela the werewolf catcher. But as bad as this film is, its saving grace is that the whole cast, including the director go at this film as if it was a bio-pic.
The plot is ropy the characters are as three dimensional as a sheet of A4 paper, and the action scenes done a thousand times before. However the fact that this film hitches its plot on real events and the sheer guts of the cast to keep a straight face gives this film a strange charm. There is much to dislike but as a rainy Sunday afternoon film there is enough meat to entertain.
