They've got real zombies in this vampire film! - The Wickeds (2005)

Did I tell you I used to be a film maker? It's true. When I was 14 me and my friend made a movie on her camcorder. We got her pet cat to attack us and we used her mum's lipstick for blood. It was amazing. I cannot believe it didn't go global. Anyway, my hangups over with. On with the next review!

The Wickeds is a very low budget horror flick. We begin with a group of over-sexed, easily scared kids on their way to spend Halloween in a "haunted" house situated next door to a cemetery. They are unaware of The Wickeds circling them outside. They're having lots and lots of fun when they're interrupted by a couple of grave robbers who are running from some dead bodies that aren't dead enough. It is exactly what you want to see; a fat guy and a geek running around a cemetery being chased by a dead bride in too much make-up. The Wickeds are kind of vampires that seem to eat people a la zombie, if you will.

One of the friends are dragged out of the house and is set upon by the Wickeds. While all this is going on, two of the friends are upstairs, providing the sexy aspect. Not bad over-the-clothes sexy actually.

I didn't actually expect to like this film and I can't honestly say if I do or not. It does have a certain charm that comes with not being masked by, or being able to hide behind, the smoke and mirrors we are now used to. It's got guts with horrific acting. I must say I have no idea how they got the priest to agree to letting them film in his graveyard. They must've spent the whole film budget on his church roof.
