Vampires: Los Muertos (2002)

Jon Bon Jovi stars in this trashy but pretty entertaining horror flick. Vampires: Los Muertos centers on vampire hunter-for-hire Derek Bliss (Bon Jovi), who gets bounties from the likes of the "Van Helsing Group" for every bloodsucker he destroys. When a new client hires him to hunt down a particularly powerful vampire queen in Mexico, he reluctantly starts to form a team--only to discover that all his potential posse members have just been killed. But soon he gathers a haphazard crew (including Diego Luna from Y Tu Mama Tambien and Natasha Wagner from Lost Highway) and sets off across the hot Mexican landscape. Vampires: Los Muertos has some gaps in logic, but it's pretty lean and spry--in the first 10 minutes, the vampire queen has already bitten off someone's tongue--and it has enough cheap eye candy to be a satisfying low-budget flick. --Bret Fetzer Amazon.com

Lame duck

The reason I bought this movie is first the title and second I like Bon Jovi. I will buy anything with vampires and thought it would be interesting to see Bon Jovi in a horror movie. I was wrong the two do not go together. Silly premise, silly ending and less than stellar acting. If you are looking to be frightened, then this is not for you. If you like anything Vampires with Bon Jovi thrown in, you might want to keep this for your amusement. November 22, 2008

Really 3.5 but could be better

This was a surprise for me as I didn't think Jon BonJovi could follow up James Woods performance. I was wrong and that was why it took so long for me to watch this! True BonJovi is no James Woods granted. This really is a decent film. The action was good and had OK special effects. But don't go into this movie with the high standards of James Woods and John Carpenter (even if he did produce the film) fogging your vision. Enjoy it as a seperate entry to the 'series'.

As for previous reviews on this and the many other video's here on Amazon, there will be both good and bad ones and that is great. This forum provides a place where people who have not seen the film can make their own opinions and make a decision based upon what they read. However, when some people start trashing the film without even seeing it, they need to grow up and look at what they review before opening up their pieholes.

Thanks for reading my review! :) October 25, 2008

Vampires: Los Muertos

A movie doesn't get much more average than this, I didn't love it, I didn't hate it, it was just ok. It's basically the same as the first movie, which I enjoyed, but just not done as well. You have the second string of actors, who really aren't likeable, they just have no personality and all feel very wooden. If you saw John Carpenter's Vampires, then you've already seen this movie, you've just seen it done better. August 5, 2008

Tame Vampire Fare

This is a sequel to John Carpenter's Vampires, a minor hit that saw pilgrim director Carpenter return to form and break the cliches of vampire films. This is not bad and not good either, as they changed the whole film from its initial release- they sold out and started marketing it at African Americans. It did have a lot of nudity and gore and was kind of suspenseful, but this sequel just serves to put yet another American vampire film on the shelves. Check out the 1998 original Vampires by John Carpenter to get a good look at American religion breaking the cliches. September 25, 2007

Vampires - Los Muertos

Vampires-Los Muertos was quite an entertaining movie in my opinion. OK, so it wasnt on the same level as Vampires with James woods but Jon Bon Jovi did a good job playing the vampire slayer. Im a huge fan of Vampire flicks and I have to admit that the acting in this movie wasnt as good as the first but still a decent Vampire flick nevertheless. Interview with a Vampire is my all time Fav. June 26, 2007
