Onlyfangs

Those of us who grew up during the VHS era remember how many low budget films used to combine horror and comedy together. You had horror comedies in many different categories such as the 1986 cult classic Night Of The Creeps, or that very same year we also had Critters released in theatres across the world. The 80´s was truly a golden era of horror comedies and i used to watch so many titles. For example how many of you remember the 1988 cult classic Killer Klowns From Outer Space? It was during the 80´s when they really tried to find all kinds of combinations and it was in 1987 a horror comedy called My Best Friend Is A Vampire was released. At the time this film came out in America and in the UK i did not watch this film, noy until1 1990 if i remember correctly finding it at a VHS rental sale. It´s a quite charming horror comedy where a young man turns into a vampire, after a sexual encounter with a beautiful woman. It´s not a classic anywhere near Fright Night, Vamp or The Lost Boys by any chance, but if you enjoy 80´s comedies and don´t mind horror influences included this film could work for you. Let´s move forward though into modern days and talk about a streaming horror comedy that turned out to work well combining vampires into Brooklyn. This is not the horror comedy Vampire In Brooklyn from 1995 with Eddie Murphy we are talking about, instead this is the 2020 horror comedy Netflix film Vampires Vs. The Bronx from director Oz Rodriquez. A charming throwback to horror comedies of the 80´s and 90´s except this is a film especially made for teenagers. This film have a great mix of nostalgic vampire ingredients and great acting performances, especially from Method Man as local pastor Father Jackson. If you enjoy especially vampire films then you should check out Vampires Vs. The Bronx on Netflix. I was given an oppurtunity to watch a horror comedy called Onlyfangs that seemed to be speciifically a vampire inspired film. Since i enjoy all kinds of vampire horror films, of course this did look interesting to me. Is this one of the better horror comedies in recent years or is Onlyfangs not as funny as i was hoping it would be?

Social media monster hunter Wes ( Drew Marvick ) find out that there are a group of female vampires that actually exist. he comes up with a brilliant idea how to get these ladies fresh blood, while getting men to be seduced by them. By opening up a service called Onlyfangs, where men pay the vampire girls for certain services. These services bascially means new victims for the girls to feed on.

Some of you might remember the 1986 dark horror comedy known as Vamp with actress Grace Jones as the vampire stripper Katrina. When i watched the film Onlyfangs i was reminded of Vamp in certain scenes. Not the plot itself or any of the characters, more about the sexy approach of female vampires. In the horror comedy Onlyfangs it becomes very clear that they use hot women to give this film a certain sexy look as Vamp did back in the 80´s. I really appreciate that since i feel female vampires have always been something sensual and fun to watch, especially if the vampires are wild and crazy as these vampire characters turn out to be in Onlyfangs. This is the type of horror comedy you are not meant to take serious at all, a film that knows what audience it was made for. Combining horror and comedy together can be very tricky unless you have a good idea and have a fun plot. Onlyfangs tries to make fun of the vampire genre and at the same time make fun of services like Onlyfans. This is actually a fun idea using vampires into this platform, since we know that men will always pay for all kinds of services to see hot women. The best characters of this film is for the most part the vampire female cast, where especially female actors Kansas Bowling ( who you should see in the independent horror film The Third Saturday In October ) and Nina Lanee Kent make some of the best acting performances. Actor Drew Marvick ( who you need to watch as the Murder Clown in the anthology horror film 10/31: Part 2 ) is also quite funny as the character Wes. This film manage to capture the feeling of the 80´s with hair metal music, 80´s pop and strip club feeling of this time period, which is a great combination considering we are making fun of selling sexual content online. The only problem i have really is the length of this film. 2 hours for a horror comedy is a long time and a few scenes feel a bit stretched out. Onlyfangs will most likely be a nightmare for Swedish feminists ( considering the nudity of certain women which im grateful for ) but will definetely be appreciated by horror fans of the 1986 horror comedy classic Vamp. Directors Angelica De Alba and Paul Ragsdale clearly had inspiration from similar films such as Vamp, and that turns out to be a successfull idea considering that this film works. Onlyfangs proves that anything can sell online, even getting your blood sucked out by vampires. Maybe i should subscribe myself?
