![]() ![]() These are some of the funniest scenes in the movie, his attempted murder of the count. He changed his name for professional reasons and once he learns Dracula himself is in town putting the bite on his ex he wants nothing more than to kill him. Jeffrey Rosenberg, but what we learn is he’s really a Van Helsing. This is where Richard Benjamin comes into the picture at the 42–minute mark. To complicate matters Cindy has an old boyfriend, who’s a psychiatrist, she still sees. ![]() LOVE AT FIRST BITE RENFIELD MOVIEThe other movie I’m be reviewing soon on this double feature, Once Bitten (1985), and Fright Night (1985). You know there are also two other vampire movies that have similar “nightclub/dance scenes” in them. Renfield finds Cindy and eventually Drac and her meet in a disco, where he seduces her with his undead charms on the dance floor to the musical stylings of “I Love The Night Life” by Alicia Bridges. This doesn’t work so well in the beginning. The fish out of water plot is where the meat and potatoes of the comedy comes in and he reluctantly adjusts to living in his coffin in a hotel room and flying out into the city to find fresh victims to drink. No, he’s not pleased by these turn of events but now he can go to New York and make Cindy his. Her last reincarnation was as Mina Harker and he’s determined to fall in love with here again.Īn abrupt visit by three townsfolk sets these plans into motion for he’s being evicted to make way for an Olympic training facility his castle will soon become. He’s met her two other times within his immortal lifetime. He’s still living in his castle in Transylvania with Renfield (Arte Johnson), but he’s been smitten with this model in New York named, Cindy Sondheim (Susan Saint James), whom he’s only seen through fashion model magazines Renfield routinely buys for him, more likely steals. Hamilton plays Count Vladimir Dracula who as the movie opens is at a crossroads in his life. The comedy is obviously a bit dated in some scenes, but comedic performances from Hamilton, Arte Johnson and Richard Benjamin still resonate. For the most part Love At First Bite still holds up for me. I remember it being funny too and would love to revisit it someday to see if still holds up. LOVE AT FIRST BITE RENFIELD MODI have The Power on MOD from Warner Brothers, but have not seen Zorro since those early cable days. I think this was around the time we first got cable and I remember George Hamilton from two other movies: The Power (1968) and Zorro: The Gay Blade (1981). I was 10 when Love At First Bite (1979) first came out, but probably a year or two older when I saw it on TV. ![]()
