1990 - 90m.

Maybe they should have called it "Rot-ula" it would've been more fitting.

Dean Cameron plays a vampire who seeks out his reincarnated girlfriend, falls in love and tries to stop the curse that has her die at the hands of a ham-bone weilding pirate all the while playing really bad music in his band.

Cameron who has been good in other films (Bad Dreams and as "Chainsaw" the Leatherface freak in Summer School come to mind) is the best thing in this awful comedy but that's not saying a heck of a lot. From the cast filled with has-been musicians (Toni Basil, Thomas Dolby, etc.), to the wretched music interludes and right down to the feeble "romantic" scenes this is a terrible waste of film from director/co-writer Bercovici who's best known for making the original Ghoulies movie (not exactly a cinema classic itself). Avoid.
