Les dents de la nuit: Vampire Party


Sam (Mille) never misses a party.  On a night out with his best friends, perpetually single Prune (Fournier) and newly heartbroken Alice (Bel), they get invited to the most exclusive party ever.  The guests are taken by helicopter to a remote island.

Unbeknownst to the guests, the party is hosted by vampires, Le Duc de Journiac (Karyo), who plan to make the guests their next meal.  As the vampires descend, the survivors: awkward Edouard (Desagnat), celebrity dentist Serge Krinine (Karmann), ditzy trophy wife Jessica (de Fougerolles), and Paul Lefranc (Dulery), band together to survive the evening.  Will anyone make it home?


I found this film through Netflix... For whatever reason, I was on a comedy-horror kick, and thought this one looked good.  The film is in French, with subtitles at the bottom.  While a lot happens, you can still read the subtitles and keep up with the action.  The plot and action is a bit silly, but it works here.

Not appropriate for children... the film features nudity and language.  Despite that, it is a great spoof of the genre.  From the opening animated sequence, to the end credits dance marathon,  it is a fun-filled adventure movie.
