<p dir="auto">Don't get me wrong, this was pretty good campy fun.  Unfortunately they chose to go the Buffy route and target it towards teens.  If this was done with a lot of over-the-top gore and some gratuitous nudity it could have really rocked.<br />

<p dir="auto">Vargas shouldve done a sex scene like she did in Name of the Rose, man that was steaming hot.<br />
A female vampire all lust and depravity, it wouldve fit in perfectly.</p>

<p dir="auto">I'm not a buffy the vampire slayer fan, but I had a lot of fun with this. Yes, if the tone had been more serious and darker, it would have been perfect. I just decided ten minutes into this to enjoy Bloody Mallory for what it was, just a campy horror flick with  some inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft.<br />
Live Long and Prosper!</p>

<p dir="auto">So, are we gonna set up a petition to get more tits in films then?<br />
Even teen comedies these days regularly dont have tits in, or if they do, they are  incidental characters that nobody cares about.</p>

<p dir="auto">"<br />
I think its a trend in general in US movies to not have sex in em.<br />
"<br />
Unfortunately it's not just US flicks, though I'd guess that with a lot of foreign flicks hopes of US distribution is a factor.  Besides Bloody Mallory (French), some of my favorite recent crazy b-flicks such as Evil Aliens (UK) and Zombie Self-Defense Force (Japan) have also eschewed gratuitous nudity, which would have fit right in.<br />

<p dir="auto">I agree that b-movies should have some t&amp;a in. Its not right to have no nudity. Thats why we watch these films.<br />
I think its a trend in general in US movies to not have sex in em. Horrors, for instance, are horribly under performing in the titillation stakes.<br />
Take house of Wax. Not a bad film, but wouldve been much better had Elisha Cuthbert got em out.</p>

<p dir="auto">"I am not a teen (in fact I didn't start watching Buffy until I was 22) and I loved this movie."<br />
Then let me correct myself, they went the 18-24 market route.  I liked it a lot, I just think that it could have been even better.<br />
"This would have made the movie crap. "<br />
I think, quite obviously, that is a matter of opinion, and ours will just have to remain in disagreement.<br />
"This is your only thought that I could agree with."<br />
Well at least we agree on something.<br />
I think there are too few good b-movies that have enough gratuitous nudity (Halfway House being a welcome exception).  It's like these days they feel they can do softcore horror (which is usually boring as hell) or b-movies without nudity, but they're afraid to put good, sleazy, gratuitous nudity in b-movies like back in the good old 70's.<br />
I have seen a few recently that seem to be getting on track, besides Halfway House, Shadow: Dead Riot, Actress Apocalypse, and Shock-O-Rama have done a good job of haveing a good b-movie and lots of t&amp;a.  of course there's always Troma.<br />

It's okay, I know the feeling.  Still would have like to see a decapitation or two and maybe some heart-ripping-out.<br />
