Right, well despite the rather low rating that the 2021 movie "Nest of Vampires" had managed to score here on IMDb, I must admit that I still opted to sit down to watch it. Why? Well, because it is a vampire movie, and also because the movie's cover wasn't actually all that bad.
But this was one of those times when you just have to take heed and give the movie a wide berth. Yeah, "Nest of Vampires" is exactly as bad as the low rating indicates.
For a vampire movie, then writer and director Chris Sanders just didn't manage to deliver a wholesome storyline. There was just nothing overly interesting happening throughout the course of the movie. And the whole atmosphere permeating the movie just didn't have a particular traditional vampire movie feel to it. So it made for a rather mundane movie experience.
The storyline here was just boring and rather uneventful. And it didn't really help much that the events taking place in the movie were slow paced and never really proved to be interesting. So it was really difficult to keep focus on the boring things that transpired on the screen. And I have to admit that I gave up on "Nest of Vampires" with just about15 minutes left to watch. By that time I was ready to claw my own eyes out.
The acting in "Nest of Vampires" was dubious, so not even having adequate acting performances here could do anything to lift up an otherwise fast sinking movie. Granted, I didn't know any of the actors or actresses in the movie, but it just felt like people weren't pouring their spirits into the performances put on here.
Visually then "Nest of Vampires" was a B-movie. The special effects were rather bland. Sure, they worked well enough and as intended, but it just wasn't top notch quality.
All in all, "Nest of Vampires" is barely scraping by. And this is not a movie that I would recommend you invest your time, money or effort in.
My rating of the 2021 movie "Nest of Vampires" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
