I am a lover of everything about Vampires and have much experience with the legends from my homeland. I think this film "Cult of the Vampire" did a good job telling an interesting story but I think the best part was the lead actress Iva Stelmak. She was very powerful and convincing in her role as Xandra. I am happy this film was made. I watched the film a second time with my roommate and it was just as good a second time.

Art-house Euro styled horror film with a good no-name cast. The lead actresses; Iva Stelmak and Megan Porter are perfectly cast and bring depth to their characters. The music makes this film more powerful because the lyrics tell the story as well as the dialog and actions. Pacing is fast and not predictable. It has a "Cult Classic" vibe for us Vampire aficionado's. "Cult of the Vampire" is on my list now as one of the better Vampire films the last few years.

I don't usually do these reviews, but wanted to say a a few good things about this movie. I am super into Vampires, everything and anything Vampire. This movie tells a tale that's totally believable... I love it! It's nice to see a normal betrayal of these beautiful creatures and stunning they are... Iva Stelmak and Megan Porter are cast perfectly for this story. The film is definitely more art-house than horror. Stylized with flashbacks and some metaphoric scenes; the purple heart (love), a flower floating by in water casting a dark shadow in tow. The scenes go from black and white in Paris, dull color in Los Angeles. The music rocked and was another element that connected me and made this movie engaging. Love the songs, the vibe, the emotions the lyrics and melody play. Made me feel in touch with Xandra. Hopefully they make a sequel, would love to see Xandra and Camille back in action.

Cult of the Vampire is a creative and refreshing tale that weaves an engaging story of love and music. Great acting from the leads; Iva Stelmak absolutely kills it as Xandra and Megan Porter who plays Camille, her metamorphosis is maybe the best I've seen in vampire films. The story is unique and engaging, filmed in Paris and Los Angeles and balanced by an amazing music soundtrack that carries you through this film. The film could have been longer and and the end could have been drawn out a bit more, but I understand many Indie film stay around 80 minutes. It's refreshing to see a female led story and production hit so many positive notes, risky for any filmmaker in the underground of our male dominated Hollywood.
