This dire movie stars James Corden and Mathew Horne from BBC’s Gavin & Stacey, and it proves yet again how difficult it is to transfer comedy from the telly to the big screen. Better comedians than these two have failed, including Tony Hancock.

Corden and Horne are not helped much by a posse of scantily clad girls who are attacked by a lesbian vampire and sent all sapphic by the experience. None of the female roles is played with anything but caricatured pantomime gusto. The horror is palpably absurd and the comedy reliant on a screenplay of which the starry pair ought to be ashamed. A short dose of Laurel and Hardy might be in order. 

The plot has them on a walking holiday when they find themselves stuck in a remote cottage deep in a forest. It turns out that a lesbian vampire, Queen Camilla, lives again after being executed by a vampire hunter back in the 17th century. Armed, courtesy of the local vicar, with the same sword the vampire hunter used to dispatch her, Corden and Horne somehow manage to lift the curse and ogle the girls to their hearts’ content.

Is all this politically incorrect? Yes, of course. But, believe me, it isn’t worth demonstrating about.
