Before seeing this movie, I had NO idea that vampires hopped like bunnies.

All cultures have tales of vampires, but one is left wondering if the vampires in this movie bear any resemblance to authentic Asian folklore, or if the people who did this movie just made things up as they went along. There's a plot in there somewhere, something about a family of vampires being released a few hundred years too early to have properly done their time and become good--not that they seem so bad, anyway.

If you must have coherency, flawless production values, a classic story exquisitely told, and perfectly cast actors, this is not your movie. However, if you sometimes have craving for bizarre, unpredictable cheese, if a kid vampire with sunken eyes sounds tres kewel to you, if you could use a break from reality, this may be a great movie find for you. I found a truly classy DVD copy for $2.99 at Big Lots, obviously made from a VHS copy. This only enhanced the cheese experience.
