"A splatter classic as important as STREET TRASH or THE TOXIC AVENGER!"

FOR UNDYING LOVE
"Ultra-Cool!" - Variety
"Fang-in-cheek love story!" - New York Dailey News
Undying Love is a modest, modern vampire tale suitable to hipper fans
of the genre. Improving on his first film, SLIME CITY, filmmaker Gregory
Lamberson takes an approach to the genre similar to underground directors.
Languid pacing and ultra-cool characterizations depart from what hardcore
horror fans expect." --VARIETY
"Auteur Gregory Lamberson takes a sizable step up from his 1988
splattercom, SLIME CITY, with UNDYING LOVE, an equally low budget, but
better scripted vampire tale that likewise unfolds in Gotham. While
Lamberson springs few true plot surprises in this (very) loose update
of Sheridan Le Fanu's oft-filmed femme vampire tale "Carmilla,"
his fang-in-cheek approach and steady pacing make UNDYING LOVE a fairly
entertaining garage horror flick. The director also incorporates a decent
but not excessive amount of blood and gore, plus a fitting climax that
brings his modest storyline full circle." --Phantom of the Movies,

PRESS FOR JOHNNY GRUESOME
"If you like your horror fast and nasty, then take a ride with
Johnny Gruesome. Gruesome is a loving and intelligent tribute to the
classic splatter films that set the pace for modern horror. With sharp
writing and an eye for detail. Lamberson masterfully brings a nightmare
to life. Bold and trashy in all the right ways, Johnny Gruesome is a
book (and a villain) you won't soon forget." -- Lee Thomas, author
of PARISH DAMNED and THE DUST of WONDERLAND

Undying
Love
UNDYING
LOVE, previously available on VHS as NEW YORK VAMPIRE, will make its
DVD debut as part of GREG LAMBERSON'S SLIME CITY GRINDHOUSE COLLECTION,
available from POP Cinema on July 28th!
Eschewing
the gross-out SFX of SLIME CITY, 
Marc
Makowski, Ed Walloga (my Assistant Director on SLIME) and I re-teamed
for this $35,000.00 vampire flick that I wrote and directed. John Rosnell
did an excellent job as Director of Photography, Robert Sabin and Mary
Huner returned for supporting roles, and Tommy Sweeney starred as an
angry, suicidal young man who is cursed with eternal life when he allows
the wrong woman to bite him. UNDYING LOVE garnered a favorable review
in The New York Daily News, and played as a midnight movie for 5 weeks
at the Village East Cinemas in New York City. It preceded Michael Almereyda's
NADJA, Abel Ferrara's THE ADDICTION, and my friend Larry Fessenden's
HABIT as the first "downtown" vampire film.
“Gregory
Lamberson’s NEW YORK VAMPIRE proves that imagination and talent
can overcome even the most meagre of budgets. A punchy film which tells
a good yarn with a quick pace, NEW YORK VAMPIRE’S energy compensates
for its shortcomings. A low budget allows for greater innovation and
Lamberson proves himself as a name to note. Paying attention to character,
he shoots with intelligence and flair and has a fine ear for black humour.
The film nicely favours sustaining a well crafted atmosphere. Nihilistically
erotic, moderately scary… this is a seventy five minute treat.”
--SAMHAIN Magazine
and PHANTOM OF THE MOVIES’ VIDEOSCOPE

Lining
up a shot on location for "Undying Love."
New
York Vampire
While
writing UNDYING LOVE, I struggled to create a title that avoided the
words "blood" and "vampire." When E.I.
Independent Cinema picked up the domestic video rights, the first
thing they did was change the title to NEW YORK VAMPIRE, because they
thought UNDYING LOVE sounded like a Meryl Streep movie! The second thing
they did was design titillating box art featuring a woman who doesn't
even appear in the film! I like the cover a lot more than I do the title.

Fear
“Filled
with creeping suspense and horror, solid photography and art direction,
and you wouldn't be squirming in your chair nearly as much if you didn't
care for the characters.”

NAKED
FEAR began as an experiment to set an entire film in one location, a
NYC apartment. We ended up using two. This time I pitted Robert Sabin,
the star of SLIME CITY, against Tommy Sweeney, the star of UNDYING LOVE.
Robert stars as a man who suffers from agoraphobia, the fear of open
spaces, and Tommy co-stars as his roommate, a serial killer who suffers
from claustrophobia. Although we shot it on Hi 8 Video, I feel it's
my best film. Phil Gallo made immeasurable contributions as our editor
and post-production supervisor. NAKED FEAR screened at The Millennium
in New York City, premiered at the Point CDC in the Bronx, and played
at Two Boots Den of Cin and The Screening Room in Buffalo.
SFX
make-up artist Craig Lindberg works some magic on Tommy Sweeney.
