You read that right…and to get the feel for what the film is like, think drive-in grind house circa 1975. Well, except it is modern and a lot less gory for gory’s sake. Admittedly, I love these kinds of films. If you do too, run to see this. This is an A+ rated B flick.

Story goes…Bonnie (Tiffany Shepis) and Clyde (Trent Haaga) are out and about killing and robbing - the usual outlaw's in love fare. But, faster than you can think, "What gorgeous cinematography...," the two meet up with an old cohort and get in a bit of a shoot out. And one of their men done get shot up real good.

In need of a doctor, but a big helping of fear of Johnny Law, they recall hearing about a Dr. Loveless who lives down the lane. Loveless (Allen Lowman) recently “bought up” all the hookers that had been stabled in their latest hang out. Thusly, the duo figures he’s not exactly a straight-edged chap, and Bonnie heads out to drag him back to help. She'll use her feminine ways or her .38.

Meanwhile, Dr. Loveless has been busy with his hooker stash. Feeding them to Dracula (Russell Friend)! No explanation as to how Loveless has a no-skinned-at-present vampire in his multi-chambered creepy house in the country…Drac is just there. Loveless is helping him (without being asked) to be reborn. The idea is the fancy never die-rejuvenating blood Drac flows with can be used to do transfusions with Loveless. See, the maniacal doctor has some kind of freakish ailment that involves his being “processed” frequently, and his weird illness includes the need for him to wear a bag over his head, with only an eye hole (think elephant man).

The film is superb for its genre; goofy, kitschy comic-book to film style. There’s lots of lusty bits and they have fun with them. The actors are all good, the story is whacky, but enjoyable, and the score, and look of the film is great. Sure there are a few moments you make sure the exit lights are illuminated (or dvd remote is close if viewing at home)…but, before you exit stage left, the piece picks back up. I wanted to smash the silly dollar-store gargoyle on Loveless’ desk for a tiny example…

Bonnie is perfectly sociopathic, Clyde’s a looker, Dracula is creepy, and Loveless makes your skin crawl a few times. As actors go, watch for Tiffant Shepis. This may be on her THS reel in a few years, “Can you believe and Oscar-winning actor did this?” she’ll coo through now-stylized eyes at Ryan Seacrest’s latest waif reporter on the red carpet.

The good doctor’s oddball sister, Annabel (Jennifer Friend), starts to grate on the nerves at the same time she grows on you. Like a fungus, but without the itch.

Bottom line? BCvD is a fantabulously entertaining schlock mock bit of Friday night party-with-a-film on haggle-the-screen fest of pretty darn good film making.

Snack recommendation: BBQ (Tempeh for us veggies), thick potato salad, and beer.
