Nothing fancy here, the low budget shows in every scene but basically this is an OK horror comedy with a lot of love for 70s and 80s bikes and some cute gags; the music is not bad either and there's some good screaming.
Sadly, the whole thing goes on for much too long and at a snail's pace - as if the filmmakers had decided that full feature length was compulsive (which it is not, especially for such a one-trick pony). There are only so many ways in which you can portrait an inanimate object as menacing and frankly the movie starts to drag sooner or later depending on your goodwill. To fill the whole time, there should be more plot, which brings me to the burning question why the titular "vampire" Norton Commando doesn't spawn any bloodsucking offspring throughout the movie ... a finale with a whole armada of vamped-up bikes (sorry, couldn't resist) would have been the obvious way to go. Oh well, budget restrictions I guess ...
Recommended for fans of those bikes (like me) and cheap laughs (like me) but don't expect any wonders and keep that bottle handy!
