Love at First Bite (1979)

Directed by Stan Dragoti
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, MGM)

Quotable but ultimately silly spoof of Dracula. George Hamilton plays the count as a suave but dumb immigrant from Transylvania in the big lights of New York City. His non-hunchback assistant is a bug-eating Arte Johnson. The count is in love with model Susan Saint James, a narcissistic pill-popper and boozer. Her husband is a psychiatrist and just happens to be a descendant of vampire killer Van Helsing. It all comes across as second rate Mel Brooks, never funny and frequently inducing eye-rolls.
