VampyrZ on a Boat Movie Review

Sara and Max's new whirlwind romance is interrupted by a vampire outbreak on a medical research ship. Max will stop at nothing to get back the girl of his dreams, even if it means several heads will roll.

What do you get when you cross an ex “fixer for the deep-state” with a nearly empty ship that’s been rented out for top secret medical research? An unlikely May-December romance hindered by a vampire infestation, of course! Mark Allen Michael’s new release Vampyrz on a Boat is an oddball “romzomhorrorcom” that B-movie lovers will swoon for. Never heard that term before? We made it up just for this movie, because it deserves a class of its own. Trust us, you’ve never seen anything like it.

When Del (Curt Lambert) asks his buddy Max (Dallas Valdez) to come babysit his uncle’s ship for some quick cash, Max declines. He has a one-eyed cat to care for, after all. But when the beautiful Sara (Carrie Keegan) walks on scene, Max falls in love and changes his tune. Max helicopters onto the ship and steps out onto the deck David Caruso style to some pretty fantastic action music that promises we’re in for a wild ride. Instead, Del introduces Max to his uncle, Captain Bob (Robert Acres), a corny drunk who carries his ancestor’s pegleg around for luck. Between jokes and wisecracks, the Captain explains why he needs the men on board. Someone has rented his ship to run a medical experiment at sea, and they’ve paid big money to ensure it sets sail with only a skeleton crew, and to knock out the ship’s communication system. Captain Bob wants Del and Max to find out what the research is about and to protect his ship.

Del takes Max to his security command centre and points out a mystery that’s been bothering him: high tech heat sensors show the outline of a man sitting in a chair in a locked room who never moves, but he emits a bat-like sound. They join Captain Bob in the medical lab run by Adele (Kate Rees Davies), a mad scientist who doesn’t care who dies on board as long as her research continues. That “man” sitting in the locked room? He’s very old, and he’s indestructible…but he’s also dangerous…and he’s also escaped. Adele wants to use his blood to find cures for human diseases, to stop the aging process, to become rich and famous, and she tells the men to go find him, and bring him back alive. Aliiive!

From this point on, the story becomes very confusing. Max and Sara have already gotten down and dirty at least once and professed their undying love for one another, Sara has been bitten by the vampire and is infected (but Max doesn’t know this yet), there are rando’s with chainsaws popping up here and there, and a dude with a ventriloquist dummy who giggles while he talks. Most of the crew is already dead after an incident in the cafeteria. While Max and Del search for Adele’s vampire, Max is repeatedly bitten but never turned or infected. At one point he takes a hammer to the head and goes to Adele to have it removed, which is one of the funniest scenes in the film. If you miss the gags the first time, don’t worry, you’ll see them again. For some reason, removing the hammer from his skull throws Max into a Groundhog Day-esque time loop that is never really explained. His sanity is questioned in one scene when he tells Del about the time he spent receiving electroshock therapy in an institution, but nothing more is ever said about it. This could have been used to flesh out the “this is all a manic dream” potential the film had, but it wasn’t. Instead, it turns into a loop that only Max is somewhat aware of, which oddly helps to develop his character. With some memory of what’s already happened, Max becomes quicker when he encounters the same obstacles, evolving into a hero that none of us were expecting.

What the film lacks in cohesion, it makes up for with enthusiasm. It’s clear that sound designer Corey Brown was passionate about the project, as was cinematographer Stefan Colson. The musical choices were perfectly matched to every scene, amplifying the action with power rock tunes and exaggerating comedic moments with almost cartoonish melodies. Coloured lighting was used to enhance the anxiety of being trapped below decks in a military sized ship with killer creatures, and tight camera work made the characters’ movement around the ship realistic. The editing of every aspect of the film was flawless. For a low budget indie, the crew used what they had with the expertise of a much larger production.

With enough funny lines to compensate for the cringier ones, Vampyrz on a Boat passes as a comedy. It has more than enough gore for any horror lover, and while more could have been done to help the storyline make sense, it’s fun as it stands.

Fans of old school low budget B-movie creature features will love this one for its silliness, improbable plot, and decent special effects, and reviewers should appreciate the effort put into the production details. Indie creators make films like these for the love of the genre, and Mark Allen Michaels is a master of his art.

Movie Review: Disaster at sea -- "VampyrZ on a Boat"

Movie Review: Disaster at sea — “VampyrZ on a Boat”

The latest horror tale from the director of “Valentine DayZ” is about a cargo ship with a vampire in its hold — “VampyrZ on a Boat.” It is badly acted, with a mostly high-mileage cast that for the most part hasn’t exactly mastered this acting thing over the course of what one hopes have been long and happy lives. Even the younger players are pretty bad, just to avoid any hint of ageism…
