Product Description
THE OLD BAT RESEARCHER, PROFESSOR ABRONSIUS AND HIS ASSISTANT,ALFRED, GO TO A REMOTE TRANSYLVANIAN VILLAGE LOOKING FORVAMPIRES.
Amazon.com essential video
One of Roman Polanski's more overt comedies, this 1966 monster spectacle stars Jack MacGowran and Polanski as a clunky but heroic pair of vampire killers. Called upon to rescue the beautiful and buxom daughter (Sharon Tate) of an innkeeper from a Draculalike bloodsucker, the duo muddle through all sorts of scrapes, the most intense being a scene in which a room full of dancing vampires realize the human interlopers are the only ones in the room who are reflected in a mirror. Scary and funny, the film has some unforgettable set pieces, a terrific score, one of the few records of Tate's extraordinary beauty, and vibrant performances. Not exactly Polanski in a relaxed mode, but clear evidence of his estimable skills as a director of both brilliance and polish. --Tom Keogh

A classic comedy horror flick February 9, 2010

It is just as I remembered it.....I saw this when I was a kid and thought it was hilarious then...and after watching it again after so many years, I found it just as funny and entertaining today. One of those cult classics.
The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me but Your Teeth Are in My Neck January 20, 2010
Paul D. Christenson
That night, penetrating deep into the heart of Transylvania, Professor Abronsius was unaware that he was on the point of reaching the goal of his mysterious investigations. In the course of which he had journeyed throughout Central Europe for years accompanied by his one and only faithful disciple, Alfred. A scholar and scientist whose genius was unappreciated, Abronsius had given up all to devote himself body and soul to what was to him a sacred mission. He had even lost his chair at Königsberg University, where for a long time his colleagues used to refer to him as "The Nut".
And thus the comedic romp begins...

A shaggy affair, this one -- Roman Polanski's very own 1960s screwball horror spoof that for all of its artistic merits is a monumental bore.
"Fearless Vampire Killers" has all of the ingredients for a rollicking good time, with a good cast, amazing sets and atmosphere, and a crazy score by Polanski regular Kryztof Komeda. Unfortunately, the story follows two dimwitted academics as they clumsily happen upon a vampire and his castle, with most of the film consisting of little more than physical comedy pieces and Benny Hill style camera tricks. There are a couple of minorly humorous bits with a clubfooted henchman, but it says a lot when the vaporish Sharon Tate winds up stealing the show as the vampire's concubine.
Polanski, who was eventually to direct two of my favorite films of all time (Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown), comes across in interviews as an extemely pompous and judgemental man; I've heard him totally dismiss Ira Levin's and Robert Towne's work on the forementioned films. But I'm calling his bluff -- because without good material he is prone to directing some pretty lousy films, such as this one and "The Tenant". However, you might want to check out "FVK" simply for the production design, music, Sharon Tate, and wonderful 60s alpine scenery.
Very Underated & Very Funny Polanski Vampire Movie. December 11, 2009
STP Wave (California)
I saw this movie many moons ago at the Fox Senator Theatre in CA & I thought it was incredibly funny & way before it's time. Beautifully photographed, & endearingly portrayed by all the principle performers, this movies is & always will have a special place in my heart & DVD library. I have never shared this before with anybody until now, but here goes, I saw this movie (alone)at the Fox on the afternoon of August 8, 1969, & the following day I witnessed the news reports & read about what had occurred the previous night before in Los Angeles. I was shelled shocked to say the least. Beautiful actress Sharon Tate, the female lead in this movie & the pregnant wife of director Roman Polanski & four other house guest were horribly murdered at their home in Bel-Air by the Manson morons. I have since then always had this strange connection to this movie ever since. It's not very often that you can successfully combine the genre's of horror & comedy, but when you do & it works, well then what you have is very funny little gem of an overlooked vampire movie. Never did Sharon Tate look so beautiful, then in this film.
