“Lesbian Vampire Killers” is a 2009 British horror comedy film directed by Phil Claydon. The film is about two hapless and awkward friends, Jimmy (Matthew Horne) and Fletch (James Corden), who are accidentally threatened by lesbian vampires in a remote village.
The film is notable for its zany ideas and absurdist humour. One of the most striking scenes is the moment when Jimmy and Fletch come across a mysterious old curse that turns the women of the village into lesbian vampires. The idea of portraying lesbian vampires as a threat is both absurd and unique to the genre.
During the film, the two bumbling heroes embark on a mission to fight the vampires and rid the village of the plague. In the process, they encounter numerous bizarre and comical situations. One iconic scene is the so-called “Lesbian Vampire Dance Club”, in which the two main characters end up in an eccentric club full of lesbian vampires. The scenes in the club are characterised by a mixture of comedy, parody and camp, which underline the film’s exaggerated and ironic style.
Another notable scene is the climax of the film, where there is a final confrontation between the vampires and the two friends. In the process, the clichés of the vampire genre are turned on their head and interspersed with humorous elements. The film does not take itself too seriously and uses the absurd ideas to make the audience laugh.
