Details

A small town is overrun by ankle-biting-blood-sucking DWARF Vampires. Things get complicated when the vertically-challenged coffin-creepers get their itty-bitty hands on a sword with the blood of the last slain Tall Vampire. With this relic, they can create a super-race of SHAQ-sized Draculas out of any tall human. Now, the half Vampire / half Human, Drexel, is the town's - and the world's - only hope to stop the countryside invasion of the mini-Demons. There are no SHORT fixes to this TALL problem.

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
kharing As soon as I bought this for 2 bucks and noticed the tape was yellow, I suspected I was in for a ride. Little did I know that I would be spending over an hour laughing at this movie, and everything wrong with it. It looks like it was filmed with a handy-cam, and the only microphone used was the one ON the camera. I mean, the whole idea is just stupid: ankle-biting-blood-sucking dwarf vampires??? (that line was straight off the back of the box, by the way) Either the lines are too loud or too quiet to be heard. Some lines, like the Old Guy's opening line in the first scene with the sword, have a mixture of too quiet/too loud, because the 'actor' turned their body. Some of the lines just sound funny, like when the girl is telling the police that midgets are stabbing her brother with a sword.Most of the lines were terribly performed, and there are many things the directors left in the movie that are ridiculous. One example of this is when the police show up at the car garage... not only are they both screaming opposite commands simultaneously, ("freeze! hands up!" and "get on the floor") but when they pull into the garage, the car bottoms out hardcore... you'd think the directors would have at least taken the audio out since the only relevant sound was the police siren.Many of the attack scenes follow a similar format: midgets show up, the victims say "where'd you come from", they show their teeth, they bite the victim's ankles, the victim dies. Very redundant and anticlimactic after a while.Point blank, I make better movies than this with my 8MM camera... I give it a 2 for effort.Oh, and I love how the main character's name is Drexel... and so is the Editor's. (any correlation, perhaps?)
Ax-London I would love to say this was the worst movie I've ever seen but I love 'Worst movie' movies, this is just rubbish. There should have been plenty of scope for something good to come out of a dwarf Southern vampire biker flick even if it was only made for $500... but there really isn't anything redeeming about the film. I can only imagine the $500 was due to the 'Sword' containing the blood of the last tall vampire (or whatever they were on about in that Southern dwarf droll). Not that the sword cost $500, but the guy must have lost $500 out of his back pocket on the way back from the toy shop where he bought the 'Sword'.... either that or the particularly gay looking African American Dwarf Biker Homie vampire borrowed the cash to go and get himself a slightly more hetro looking Dwarf Biker vampire outfit to replace his white vest and pants! The film is just dull from start to finish, boring, poorly shot, immensely poor acting, script..erm..was there one? If you live in the town that gave up a weekend to film this rot then it might be fun to see but then you'd probably already be a member of the HMD trike and Rod Riders of Belton and have seen the premiere during a club meet! OK so I wouldn't normally insult a biker gang but really... they couldn't even be bothered to turn up wearing a 25c pair of plastic fangs each.. and if that's them looking menacing then I'll worry more about the local church coming round for donations!To sum it up this isn't the worst film ever made as candidates for that have some kudos by being so rubbish. This will just make you tired, I've given it three to try and keep the thing out of site of true bottom of the pile hunters!
liesanddeception A true work of genius. Bringing together two of the all time great features for any movie... Midgets and Vampires! How can it fail I mean really? This is one of the all time great works in bad film making, a movie so terrible it really is inspired. Don't let anything put you off, you MUST see this film! It's cast are wooden, it's sound quality is terrible. The script seems to be written by a group of drunk students on the back of a beermat (and may well have been) but that is saved by the poor delivery the actors give it. The whole thing seems like it was thought up by a group of film students with too much time on their hands and way to much alcohol, and to fair, it probably was. Somehow through all this the incredible concept of the film shines through creating something so inherently funny it has to be seen! Plus the theme song "Three feet tall, two inch fangs!" is almost worth it alone. I really cannot recommend this film enough, the moment I heard about it, I knew I had to go out and find it.
diaclonex I unfortuntely made the mistake of not renting this first and went ahead an bought it. Wow, was I sorry. This movie had potential. Key word: "Had". The problems? Lets start with number one. That of course is the filming. This had the unmistakable look of a 1990 camcorder look. The kind that stopped being produced in 1992. Number two. Does anyone that had a hand in making this movie know the concept of AUDIO COMPRESSION?!?!?! The audio levels were haphazardly mixed together. And no doubt, all dialogue was recorded with the mic that was on the camcorder. Terrible. Number three? Number four? Number five? I won't even bother. As this movie started, my friends and I knew it would be bad. But at least I was hoping for at least 'some' entertainment. Not even the distraction of alcohol could help. I am sorry that I own this. Anyone want to buy my copy ?
