Arrow in the Head pointed me to this film from their recent DVD Buzzsaw, but they didn't go into the film in much detail. I have to admit, the title had me curious. Vampires? Motorcycles? Together? Sickest film ever made? Director named Dirk? What the hell is this all about?
I did some research and found the film on IMDB here. They state the plot as such:
When a motorbike gang kills an occultist, the evil spirit he was summoning inhabits a damaged bike. The bike is then bought and restored, but reveals its true nature when it tries to exact vengance on the gang, and anyone else who gets in its way.
Well ain't that a kick in the doodah? What's not explained here is who bought this cursed motorbike, who's cruising it around looking for those damned bikers, and how the motorcycle can be a vampire in general. Does it guzzle blood for gas?
The film stars no one you know or remember, released in 1990 with an equally terrible cover (complete with a man holding up a cross to the bike in sheer terror. Grab the holy water!), except that cover doesn't make it look like a motocross movie like the one above.
At least this film was released before the whole Twilight craze. Can you imagine if two of those vampire motorcycles fell in love? It'd be a smash hit!
I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle hits store shelves October 27th, but don't strain yourself running out to get it; I'm sure it will be there for eternity.
