Vampire Hookers could have been merely boring and terrible in a sympathetically watchable way, had director Santiago not devoted so much film time to popular Filipino actor Vic Diaz’s portrayal of an aspiring vampire with a flatulence problem. This recurring gag complete with Diaz flapping his hands and making screwy faces pushes the film into the realm of atrocious and holds its head under until it stops struggling.
