About This Item
A group of college girls pledging a sorority stumble into a hallucinatory mix of low-budget, butt-biting vampires, unexplained time jumps, and increasingly ridiculous supernatural situations. What could have easily been a standard late-'90s sexy campus romp instead mutates into a kinetic, self-aware horror spoof. It stacks crude jokes, whiplash editing, and chaotic genre detours at such a relentless pace that it plays less like a conventional shot-on-video vampire film and more like a live-action cartoon funhouse spiraling out of control. Les Sekely's Vampire Time Travelers is also an absurdist precursor to the deliberately chaotic anti-comedy and disruptive editing later perfected by The Eric Andre Show and Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, and operates on the idea that psychically overloading the viewer is ultimately the joke. It's anything-goes structure, meta humor, and total disregard for narrative stability place it firmly in the lineage of the surreal DIY comedy that would eventually be refined for a generation of Adult Swim viewers, making it one of the most unique SOV horror films ever committed to tape.
