The Reason I Bought It Backfired

"The reason I bought the DVD is because I am a fan of Vampire Journals, and was also a fan of Shatner's Full Moon Fright Night that ran on Scifi Channel a few years ago. You don't really notice it when you watch it on TV, but the Shatner segments in between the movie becomes annoying and kind of steals the thunder from the film.

I'll give you an example, the movie gets to a climax scene and all of a sudden Shatner's head pops up and comments about the movie with the Big Head at the bar. What he says is funny stuff, but kills the movie since it stops at a big scene, only to be interupted by Shatner jokes. So, if you want to get this movie for the movie, I recommend buying the "Subspecies" box set here that has all four Subspecies movies and Vampire Journals-uncut and without the Shatner scenes. That is the better way to go if you have never seen the movie before.

If you have the movie already, then this is a nice thing to have, Shatner does make some funny comments every ten minutes or so. So, that will become annoying if you are getting into the movie. It's up to you, but know that it does get annoying."
