Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula (2008)

During the early part of the twentieth century, following a failed heist, Bonnie and Clyde hole up in a backwater town where the residents are slowly disappearing after visiting a mansion on the hillside.

Lets get this out of the way first. I only bought this as it stars the wonderful Tiffany Shepis. It could have been terrible it could have been brilliant. Thankfully it was somewhere in between.

Very low budget but showing ambition in spades, the film is an enjoyable romp. Dracula, for it is he who is brought back to life and resides in the mansion, is a lot of fun as is the Frankenstein like doctor who brings him back (Although he appears more monster than misguided doctor, especially with his wearing a cloth sack on his head). There's plenty of low budget gore on offer and the film features several Tommy gun shoot outs.

The pacing lets things down every so often. Some scenes go on far too long and the film as a whole could have done with a snappier editing process, but that's one of the problems with low budget cinema.

The acting generally was decent, Trent Haaga made for a believable Clyde and Shepis was excellent as Bonnie. Sneery and snarly yet also vulnerable, but utterly murderous too.

The film overall was bizarre at times, the Dracula mansion home to some weird and wonderful creations. The films mix and match genre mash up giving some entertaining oddness in a decent bit of low budget nonsense.
