Mar 9, 2001Vampire Hunter Comedy
Roman Polanski misfired with this vampire comedy intended as a spoof of Hammer Films. Beautifully produced but comedy is not Polanski's forte and the film seems to consists of much slapstick running around. The film does have its adherents.

Apr 23, 2014International Thriller/Hunt for a Nazi Fuel Substitute
Dull big-budget international thriller about Nazi secret formulas and Big Oil conspiracies. This seems intended as a copy of The Boys from Brazil centred around George C. Scott and Marlon Brando trying to out over-act one another
