THE IRONBOUND VAMPIRE (1997)

[The Burgomaster]

This is an amateur, black and white, shot-on-video vampire flick that takes place in New Jersey.  It is included in the TALES OF TERROR 50 MOVIE PACK.

Although somewhat ambitious and, at times, reasonably interesting, this one-hour vampire flick really didn't do much for me.  However, you might want to watch it for the two guest stars:

* Dolores Fuller
* Conrad Brooks

Both still appearing in low-budget films after all these years!  Ed Wood would be proud!

The plot involves a World War I soldier who is still lurking around New Jersey as a vampire.  He hangs around in a local blue-collar bar and drinks heavily (scotch).  Once in awhile, someone gets vampirized.  However, the "horror" scenes aren't frequent enough, nor are they particularly scary or gory.  One scene of a vampire, exposed to daylight, writhing and burning on the pavement is especially silly (it is obviously a foam latex head and torso with someone off-camera shaking it).  Some of you will probably love this movie because of its "cult" look and feel.  I thought it was okay, but I can't really recommend it.
