The Films of Godfrey Ho: Counter Destroyer

Based on the box, Counter Destroyer looked like it had everything to do with a Nightmare on Elm Street rip off and nothing to do with Robots or Vampires, so we were SUPER surprised when a Robo Vampire appeared out of nowhere in the last 15 mins of the movie...

The plot sort of unfolded like this: A group of vampires controlled by a local priest (or monk) are making a local crime syndicate's lives miserable. The same vampire-controlling priest also feels it's his responsibility to warn a group of women that the house they're renting is cursed. (Or maybe it was haunted?) The group of women renting the house are part of a film crew that's shooting on location. One of those women is the writer of said film, and she's hard at work finishing the script for the movie that's being shot... Unfortunately for that plucky writer, a Freddy Kruger type character who has been tormenting her in her dreams has started tormenting her in reality as well! Will she be able to finish the script before shooting wraps? Will the crime syndicate be able to continue selling drugs or guns or whatever? (Did you forgot completely about the local crime syndicate?)

Rip offs abound: A Nightmare on Elm Street rip-off was absolutely being poached for footage in this movie. Multiple scenes are straight forward rip offs from films in the Nightmare series, including one that somehow mashes together the infamous bathtub scene and the Johnny Depp death scene.

And that's not all: Robo Vampire inexplicably shows up at the end to add to the climactic battle! Because why not?

But don't take our word for it: The above barely scratches the surface on the layer-cake of surprises that is Counter Destroyer (aka The Vampire is Still Alive), and it's currently available on YouTube:
