I ordered it from the internet, and I wish I hadn't wasted my money. Some parts were funny, but it took forever to get to them. Blah.

You poor soul.
It's still my favorite movie.

Can you forgive the boy who shot you in the head?
I cannot comprehend how anyone could not like this film. I was entranced from the brilliant opening credits to the ending. I love the atmosphere of this movie. And considering what happened to Sharon Tate later(murdered by Charles Mansion), it was interesting to see her here.

Your whining about 7 bucks? Your a pitiful thing, thats all I gotta say.

There's a LOT of people out there that don't get this movie. It's not a big yock-fest; as a comedy it's actually very subtle. And the humor comes much more from what doesn't happen than from what does happen, if that makes any sense.
shareCost me £12.99,($25.50). and its worth every penny.
Brilliant film, one of the best Vampire films out there, in my opinion.
lol.. I bought the VHS copy, had a DVD sent to UK (as it wasn't released over here for quite a while) from Brazil or somewhere like that - then finally bought then pre ordered the UK Region 2 version.. classic film.. well shot and timeless.. excellent story telling.
If I ever meet you I'll give you the $7 :p
Defer not unto the evening, that which the morning may accomplish.
I agree with Angell...a little. This film is beautifully shot with some good acting and some scary moments...but the humor and horror never mix well. The humor goes from subtle (a Jewish vampire showing indifference to a crucifix) to broad slapstick (using a coffin as a sled). The horror is pretty grim (the ending shocked me when I first saw it). Sometimes humor and horror do mix well but this just misses the mark. It's not a terrible film by any means but, for me, it wavers uncomfortably between the two genres.
shareI think it's one of (if not THE) best vampire films of all time.
shareThis movie is seriously off-center and not what anyone expects it to be. Very unconventional. I love it, but really, it sure ain't for everybody!
sharewhy is everyone calling this a horror?.. a nightmare on elmstreet now thats a horror,, but when we talk about fearless vampire killers,, your talking hilarious comedy,,only a stick in the mud wouldnt see this for the brilliant film it was,, when i first saw it i laffed my butt,,nor can i find it anywhere in my area,,ill have to get around to ordering it online..,, the scene where the gay vampire chases the assistant,,,freeking classic...and how about the size 22 to the unsuspecting rear end,,now that is what i call funny,still cant figure out what the glass bulbs on the old mans back were for,,any ides?

If you hate it so much I'll give you seven bucks for it.
"Death to Videodrome! Long live the new flesh!"
That was one way they used to remove boils. I don't know if its that or some weird occult/arcana thing.
shareThe glass bulbs on his back is known as "cupping therapy", it's generally used to increase blood flow, help with back pain and just overall healing in general. It's been around for thousands of years. There is an arcane use to it, in the Carribean it is called "nara" and is used to suck evil spirits out of ones body, I've seen it used on various family members and even had it done on myself as a child (it felt great and helped me feel a lot better).

I PITY anyone who doesn't have the ability to find entertainment in this masterpiece of a movie!
shareI don't get people who consider this film a masterpiece. Roman Polanski has made so many much better films, this is probably the weakest I've seen by him apart from Frantic.
While the atmosphere is cool, and the sets, art direction and music are perfect, the screenplay leaves a LOT to be desired. There are unforgivable goofs in the film such as the crypt suddenly appearing in the top of the tower while it was located in the cellar in the scene right before it! The Characters share poor chemistry, especially Polanski and Tate...

Well said. Agreed.
shareDon't worry angel. It is no that it's a bad movie, it's just that you aren't very smart.

Your comment is that of a pretentious dick head. The comedy ISN'T, and it ISN'T over any viewers heads. It just isn't funny unless paint peeling off hundred year old walls makes you laugh.
Despite the quality and look of the film, it's crap.
Another lame comment on a lame thread. Keep your agression under controll please.
This movie is not generally regarded as crap and is, by any standards, not a waste of money.
It is simply not your wall-to-wall horror movie nor has it much violent sh**you obviously like so much.
'Guns should be kept away from crazy people'
First of all, where did you get the idea I need violence? I actually prefer movies from the 30's to the 70's. I grew up watching films without tons of violence. Please, don't throw out random thoughts about who you think people are.
And before you mention my supposed aggression, look at the aggression from those who are upset about the comments to those who didn't care for it.
It's film, it's subjective, and this was so bad, I dvred it to make sure it wasn't a bad night watching it, tired etc, but I got 20 minutes in, and realized it offered nothing ....... to me.

You think you WASTED $7...? On a Polanski movie...? Ha!!! Now that's laughable.
You don't even know what it feels like to be ripped off. I wasted more than $7 when I went to see TITANIC in a theater, and it truly WAS an overrated piece of bilge (but I'll just betcha luvvvv'd THAT movie, di'ncha?). Heavens to Murgatroyd, if you're that concerned about your $7 (and you should'a rented the movie first if you're that touchy), put your copy of THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS up for sale on eBay, or give it away as a gift and realize you got off cheap (don't worry, there are lotsa people in the world who DO appreciate its craft and gallows humor). $7 for this film was a bargain, but you'll never know.
Go watch THE PRINCESS BRIDE or PRETTY WOMAN for the umpteenth time, and give the rest of us who can appreciate Polanski's talent a frickin' break!

I'm not saying your opinion isn't valid, you have the right to dislike this film, but would you care to elaborate?
BTW I'm not a huge fan of it either, I liked more than you did sure, but I didn't like it too terribly much.
