Love at First Bite Reviews
One of my favorite movies as a kid (around 2nd grade). I'm not sure what that says about me or this movie:)
The costumes of the actors seemed to be very real, as if they were in their roles. The dress is really beautiful.
Very clever context and worth to watch it
A rare movie mixed with comedy and horror genre. Incredible
I thought I'd give it a shot, but man that was bad. I think I laughed once. It was on YouTube.
A great time capsule of late 70s comedy.
another Dracula film but with more laughs and romance thrown into the mix George Hamilton stars the most famous vampire and funny enough he's actually kicked out of his Transylvanian residence now he and his servant Renfield are forced to reside to 1970's New York City life Dracula also intends to track down model Cindy Sondheim (Susan Saint James) in hopes of finding true love, little does he know though that her psychiatrist boyfriend Rosenberg is actually a descendant of his arch enemy Van Helsing her boyfriend is also onto Dracula making things a bit more tricky so even if it means he looks crazy by comparison he'll do whatever it takes to save Cindy the big question is whether or not Cindy wants actual love with someone like Dracula it's actually pretty goofy watching the lord of the undead adjust to the modern urban cityscape but there's something so lovable watching him in this light plus he seems like the only being in the world giving someone like Cindy a new perspective about life and commitment eternity is lonely and loveless, is a woman's career like a man (it's fun for a while but deep down is it what they want), in a world without love it is better to be dead a very likable 70's flick that's not too scary but so full of chuckles putting a modern spin on the prince of darkness
Very humorous, with quite a few clever lines. Good acting, for a comedy. It is not as sophisticated as, say, "There's Something About Mary", but LaFB has a light touch, clever writing, and an enjoyable cast.
Low budget, low brow, predictable. A couple of funny lines, some fun banter between Hamilton and Benjamin, a bland but passable performance by St. James, decent cameos by Hemsley and Sanford, but overall not very watchable. The movie seems to be inspired by Young Frankenstein from the same time period but is not nearly as smooth or polished.
One of George Hamilton's best performances in this spoof of Bram stoker Dracula. Veteran make-up artist William Tuttle, who created Lugosi's Dracula look in 1934, gives authenticity to this portrayal of Count Dracula in modern day 1970s New York. An ensemble of comedic talent keeps the story alive in this dead pan comedy of searching and quenching eternal love. Originally experience this film on Fritz the Night Owl syndicated show. #IMDB #1979 #Loveatfirstbite
Not the least bit funny.
It really is a three star film but for Hamilton's performance and for nostalgia's sake (this was my first Dracula film) it gets an extra half star. Looks great on Blu-Ray. Good job Shout Factory.
Yikes. That was painfully unfunny. The string of corny one-liners that don't land at all are almost cringeworthy. The premise of Dracula wandering around in the 70s is kind of amusing, but was done better by Christopher Lee.
Love at First Bite was released in 1979 and stars George Hamilton as the infamous Dracula. The movie didn't do well when it was originally released, but it garnered enough of a fan base from folks who grew up watching it on cable in the 80's. If there's one thing you can say about George Hamilton it's that the guy was charming, and he didn't mind being silly from time to time. He's pretty much the entire reason to see this movie in the first place. While I'm quite fond of his dual performances from Zorro The Gay Blade (and in general, a fan of the movie itself), this one doesn't seem to have quite the same... well, bite. It's certainly not one of the funniest movies ever made, nor is it one of the funniest spoofs ever made. It's generally inoffensive but it doesn't come packed with laughter either. I'm sure that the people who grew up with the movie (I'm not one of them) find it a lot funnier than I do, but that being said, I still found some nice jokes in there from time to time. There's unfortunately a bit too much in of Susan St. James, who just isn't appealing to me at all.
More inventive and actually funnier than Brooks' offering, Dragoti's Dracula parody is full of zany little gems, even if it does a take a while to really get going.
Dracula Does Disco and Arte Johnson steals every scene as Renfield. A great ensemble cast with George Hamilton and a long list of cameos from stars of the era. The only thing that sparkles is the mirror ball during the dance scenes. A lost almost classic.
