Can't make up its mind
The makers of this film couldn't decide what kind of film they wanted. The first 10 mins of my copy had exerts from "Vampire Journals". So this film must be some kind of continuation, but they needed to give you 10mins of the previous film to bring you up to speed.
Next we get to the present film. It started off really good. A guy takes his girl to a strip joint. She's reluctant to be there. A stripper (a vampire) comes over and offers her a lap-dance - and this is where it got better, the stripper is able to seduce her and they all go back to the stipper's joint - which happens to be a mansion. Again the woman's reluctant but the stripper has some power to turn her on. And then suddenly all of this is taken away. Another vampire (the 'queen') shows up. Bits the guy. The girlfriend runs off, grabbed by the queen who feeds on her. Suddenly they've gone from having a sexually charged willing victim to just a victim. And the vampire bites her and less than five seconds later she's done. What happened to their power to seduce their victim?
Then there's a puppet vampire!
One of the vampire strippers falls in love for a guy she works down at the club with - a very over-used plot vehicle.
The guy she works with teams up with a midget vampire hunter.
What a confused mess.
Midgets and nudity... but it still sucks?
Normally, if you told me I was about to watch a movie with midgets and nudity I'd order up some food, grab a drink and get ready for a fun night of movie watching. Somehow Decadent Evil proved me wrong. Now granted, I am giving this thing 2 stars for the aforementioned reasons, but I must stop there as so much else is wrong with this movie. First, it's not a movie. It's ONE HOUR LONG. HELLLOOOOOOO???!! 1 hour = tv show. This is an extended episode of "Tales from the Crypt" and really I would give Tales more credit than this. It's another take on a vampire tale with the added bonus of having a really ugly muppet/puppet in a cage as the pet of one of the female vampires. I could try and describe the plot, but the story is so uncompelling that attempting to repeat it in any way would cause more effort than just sitting in the chair and having the plot ham-fistedly shoved down your throat as the movie so expertly does. Its about female vampries that work in a strip club and a midget Van Helsing... that's all I'll say. Now to the summary: The goods: (obligatory nudity, and a midget vampire slayer with a cool hat) The bads: The special effects (the muppet(s), the piss-poor acting of 3/4 of the cast, the ham fisted plot. 2 Stars. I am officially offering up a new classification for movies that make great cannon fodder for running commentary. In tribute to Mystery Science Theatre 3000, I am going to add "3000" to any movie title that is bad, but good enough to goof on. This qualified. Enjoy Decadent Evil 3000.
Band Should Be Banned!
WARNING: possible spoilers ahead...
This movie isn't worth the time it would take me to write a proper review of it. As it is, I will only feel comfortable wasting about two minutes writing about it. I do this in the hope that I will be able to save other horror fans some time and money. I'm some kind of horror martyr. I watched this movie so you don't have to. The clock is running. Let's see if I can encapsulate why this movie stinks in 120 seconds.
The infamous Charles Band returns to Z-level horror with Decadent Evil, the story of a midget Van Helsing who's trying to hunt down a group of vampires. The ridiculous cast is rounded out by an evil puppet. It wouldn't be a Full Moon movie if it didn't have an evil puppet and some lesbian sex somewhere in there.
Full Moon Charlie tried to tie this movie into his most popular movies, the Subspecies vampire series. What this means is that for the first ten minutes of the movie, you wind up watching scenes from the other 6 Subspecies movies in a lame attempt to create some kind of continuity with this most recent piece of garbage. The thing that I find most insulting is that I actually liked a couple of the Subspecies movies. Decadent Evil besmirches what used to be a pretty fun series of vampire movies.
I couldn't really figure out how this was supposed to be related to Ash or any of his vampires except that there's like three lesbian vampires that live in a mansion and keep a homunculus around. The homunculus escapes and wanders around the house, searching for nekked women. Ultimately he finds a nekked beauty tied to a bed and proceed to lick her nipples and make weird grunting sounds. I haven't seen a puppet sex scene like that since BASKET CASE. Just pathetic. Charles Band should be banned from making any more horror movies. The horror genre was better off without him. I hope he crawls back into whatever hole he was hiding in for the last ten years.
