Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires (2018)

Director: Mike Mort

Get ready for the most outrageous stop-motion animated film ever made! It’s not 1985 anymore… it’s 1986, and Chuck Steel is ‘the best cop on the force’. But even this maverick, renegade, loose cannon, lone wolf, cop on the edge, who doesn’t play by the rules, has his work cut out when he discovers an evil is about to descend on the city of Los Angeles: the scourge of the Trampires!

I guarantee you’ve never seen an animated movie quite like ‘Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires’, and probably never will – and I’m still deciding whether that’s a good thing, or bad. Trampires is a cross between tramps and vampires. Just to be clear, it is tramps as in homeless people, and not hookers.

This animated movie is definitely not for kids. This is crude and rude with unsympathetic humour like you’ve never heard before – enough to make your ears twitch!! This is a parody in every sense of the word, and is an absolute madcap film!

The film revolves around our hero (or should that be more of an anti-hero?), Chuck Steel – a cop- trying to rid the world of vampires who feed on drunk homeless people – or bums. He is assisted by the weirdest bunch of heroes, including a horny old man.

Some scenes really are sick and vulgur, but one can’t help but have a good time with this movie. Keep in mind, this definitely is not everyone’s cup of tea, so think twice before showcasing this at a movie night with friends.

Would I watch it again? Uhm, I don’t think so…
