9/11: Coming from Roman Polanski, The Fearless Vampire Killers is extremely disappointing.

There have been countless vampire movies, and this never stands out. Also, believe me, I've seen a good fifty to seventy-five of them which is so many that there should be a new Hollywood law banning any more. They're all the same. If you want to have a truly pleasant vampire experience, just read Bram Stoker's book Dracula. Nothing will ever come close to it.

Back to The Fearless Vampire Killers, it's apparent the filmmakers happened to find beautiful settings and then proceeded to do impromptu scenes from start to finish. Also, they make attempts at comedy which fail to generate a single laughter out of me. Pretty much, I was looking at my watch and asked, "How much longer?"

All in all, Roman Polanski is officially overrated.
