CAESAR & OTTO MEET DRACULA'S LAWYER

 

I really get a kick out of Dave Campfield's ubiquitous comedy duo known as Caesar and Otto. They're two characters capable of being slipped in to any situation, and like a modern Abbot and Costello, they're capable of being funny in just about any horrific landscape you can think of. Campfield really has something going for himself with these two characters, two individuals so self-aware and goofy you can't help but be enamored by their willingness to confront any menace and or villain and make it out with barely a scratch and a story to tell. "Caesar & Otto Meet Dracula's Lawyer" is a short but sweet excursion for the two gentlemen who meet... Dracula's Lawyer! Who else?

These two have Troma written all over them, and they show it with their innate ability to wrangle in classic cult icons Debbie Rochon and Lloyd Kaufman in their insanity. Caesar and Otto have been accused of murdering Steven J. Dracula, and in an effort to squeeze them out of their money, his lawyer (along with a hilarious re-enactment video) seeks to drain them of millions of dollars. With accounts from Wolf men, Dr. Jekyll, Dracula's wife, and other assorted monsters,  

"Meet Dracula's Lawyer" is an entertaining and rather clever bit of short horror comedy fare that teams the two gents against impossible fates yet again. The special effects (with the use of green screen, which the film makes a point of mocking) are quite startling especially when Dr. Jekyll transforms in to Mr. Hyde, while director Dave Campfield is about as hysterical as the zany Caesar as ever with Paul Chomicki truly hilarious as Caesar's inept long suffering pal. "Caesar & Otto Meet Dracula's Lawyer" is well worthy of being a special feature in a wider DVD release, and I look forward to more confrontations with Dracula.

With goofy and hilarious cameos from Lloyd Kaufman and Debbie Rochon, director David Campfield's latest adventure with Caesar and Otto is a nice short fix with plenty of laughs and self aware humor that make this potentially a modern comedy team that can get in to all sorts of dangers and cross many genres. I anxiously await more from Campfield.
