But mostly I just found it excruciatingly un-funny and offensively homophobic Totally agree with Scullion, although he forgot to mention that the special effects are also a pixel-porridge travesty.

I’m a big fan of MyAnna Buring, who did her best with a dud script and some cringingly bad acting surrounding her, but despite her inclusion the film still came across as sexist, homophobic, misogynistic and completely and utterly mind-shittingly stupid. It genuinely made me angry watching it. Sometimes I think LVK deserves a second watch, in case I HAVE actually been too harsh, but it’s like returning to a giant crap you took in the woods to see if it’s less horrible. Whatever the case, it’ll still be a giant crap.

If you find them funny, you'll also find this funny, but I'm guessing that works in reverse? Although I'll probably end up watching this at some point. Maybe Horror Channel will buy it so I can watch it for free.... I hate Gavin and Stacey, and pretty much anything else tainted by Horne and Corden’s presence.

Lets face it. When you go to see a film called 'Lesbian Vampire Killers', you'd be a bit daft to expect something of cinematographical (is that a real word?) excellence. But if you go in expecting something silly, light hearted, and probably better after a couple of pints, your not going to be hugely dissapointed. If you have seen Horne and Cordens comedy show on TV, then you will know what to expect. If you like the show, you won't be dissapointed by the film. Don't expect another 'Shaun of the Dead', but then it never tries to be. Horne and Corden play to their comedy strengths. And while neither of them are even close to the Geoff Capes (just me? Google him) of the UK comedy circuit, then are pretty good at what they do. As long as you can get into what they do. As a film, it's never going to show on anyones (or very few peoples) top 100. But neither is it the complete wastes of a couple of hours that Scullion's one skull review suggests. If you're not convinced, check utube for some of their stuff. If you chuckle, you'll probably enjoy the film. But if you insist on buying every film you watch, wait til it hits the bargain bins. You won't grow too old while you wait. Simon Pegg they are not.
