About This Movie

The Vampire Wino is a curious mix of comedy and horror that feels like a wild ride through 80s genre filmmaking. Directed by Rafael Villaseñor Kuri, it tells the tale of a vampire sent into space, only to crash-land in Mexico City. The film's pacing is all over the place, but in a charming way, giving you these comedic vignettes as the vampire interacts with the locals. The practical effects, while not top-tier, have a certain DIY flair that speaks to the era's indie spirit. The performances are over-the-top yet fun, embracing the absurdity of the plot. It’s got that unique 'what were they thinking?' vibe that makes it stand out in a collection. A real oddity, for sure.

Interesting blend of cultures and genres.Practical effects have a certain charm.A reflection of 80s indie cinema.
