Vampirella

Each genre has its bottom, and in the field of comic book adaptations, Vampirella is that bottom for me. In a review in the science fiction magazine Ikárie, it received three and a half stars from a reviewer who gave one star less even to Children of Men, so I expected a bomb. And indeed it came, because I can't remember a film that I would fast-forward through for half of it while still groaning. The feeling of utter disgust and heavy depression accompanied me for several hours. I recommend avoiding this matter by a wide margin. Overall impression: 0% (too bad we can't go into the negatives).

I wonder if they used to have this in our video store back in the day... Regardless, the biggest VHS disappointment of my life was Planet of the Vampires. With Vampirella, it's a huge shame that her comics aren't very well known, and this B-movie certainly didn't add to her credit. But those who are interested in one of the sexiest cartoon protagonists, feel free to join her adventures. The classics have great cover art and pulp stories, and today it's a modern read with all the trimmings, including interesting crossovers. (27.12.2016)

When I hear Vampirella, I think of a sexy vampire. But the film Vampirella seems to want to deny this, but honestly, I think the porn parody that also emerged is more interesting for viewers. Wynorski's Vampirella lacks anything to excite you, nothing builds tension, is funny, or simply deviates from the dullness that stretches from beginning to end. (29.06.2017)
