Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

newtype_1 Recently saw this on cable, kind of a time-capsule of late 80's cheese. It's not a great movie by any means, I had to fast-forward all the musical sequences except Toni Basil's. She is great in this, by the way- love her costumes, and her dancing.The main character is a lameass virgin vampire, who's fated to keep meeting his murdered lover over and over again until he stops her from getting killed with a hambone by a pirate. Stupid, but the pirate is played by Thomas Dolby, who also has a couple of good moments. I liked his holistic cemetery commercial, with the coin-operated flowers and coffin-on-a-spit so you can roll in your grave.What else... Mona, the big-haired heroine of the story has a really hot dorky friend with cats-eye glasses and a pageboy haircut. So if you like gothy girls, heads up.

Blue_katana8 Seeing this movie quite a few years ago, I still enjoy it. I can sing to all the songs, and still wish they would make a sound track!!! It might be cheesy at times, but i think that helps it out. And seeing Thomas Dolby dressed as a rhinestone-legged pirate is so much fun!"He's Rockula"And, of course, the great Mark Mothersbaugh helped in making the movie tunes also.What more could you ask for?A SOUND TRACK!!!!

feXis If you've enjoyed other movies with Dean Cameron (the Ski Schools', Summer School, Men at Work), then this one will have you in stitches. You've got to love Thomas Dolby ("She Blinded Me With Science" singer) AND Tony Basil (of "Hey Mickey you're so fine..." fame) dating the movie and giving it an awesomely hilarious 80's tone. In short, Rockula is thoroughly entertaining if you are a fan of 80's cheese.This movie was made knowing it'd be cheesy, which is why it bugs me when people give it bad reviews. That's like giving a science fiction movie bad ratings because it stunk as a comedy. As a 'B' movie--what this movie was meant to be--there is no question this movie ranks up there with the best of 'em.

slmstanley I stumbled on this one late night when I couldn't sleep. What a riot! Toni Basil plays the gun-toting mother of a slightly nerdy young vampire; Thomas Dolby is the media-besotted director of a funeral parlor, and Dean Cameron is the teen himself. This bizarre comedy includes numerous asides to the camera and a peg-legged guy with an enormous ham bone. How can you resist?
