review for An American Vampire Story on AllMovie

An American Vampire Story (2000)
by Buzz McClain review

Visible boom microphones, wayward continuity, bad dialogue, and awful acting add up to very little in this razor-thin farce. If the intention on the part of the filmmakers was to achieve high camp, they failed miserably; if their intention was to make a funny horror film, then they failed in that as well. Trevor Lissauer stumbles through a wheel-spinning plot and Carmen Electra, the ostensible featured player in the ensemble, does little but look alluring in lycra in the few scenes she's in. The only genuine chuckle is a gross-out sequence involving a vampiric gardener/chef named Nacho (Louis Klein) who whips up something disgustingly messy in the kitchen.
