Last May, we posted that the big screen was soon to be overrun by Lesbian Vampire Killers -- killers of lesbian vampires, not vampire killers who are lesbians (tricky English!). Now you can check out the trailer for the Welsh-centric horror flick (starring the kids from Gavin and Stacey) above.

You can't see too much in this brief trailer, but there is the obligatory sexy woman shots and salivating boys -- all set to the classic campy voiceover and recognizable screen font explanation. (You know the fonts I'm talking about -- the ones that look like they're painted on? Anyhow...) Lesbian Vampire Killers focuses on a village where women have been plagued by a vampire curse, and the surviving menfolk who send two dudes (Gavin and Stacey's James Corden and Mathew Horne) out into the moors as a sacrifice.

It's blatantly trying to tap into our cult/camp inclinations, but has it succeeded? Are these blood-drinking lesbian vampires enough to get you to the theater?

No, I don't think this latest feature is a mixture of Buffy and Foxy Brown, where lesbians get tough and hunt vampires. (Has there been a flick like that yet? If not, I'm sure we'll get it one of these days.) Instead, this seems to be about the dudes who kill lesbian vampires, or will be killed by them. Variety reports that James Corden and Mathew Horne, who star in the UK's cult show Gavin and Stacey, are re-teaming to bring down some vamps in Phil Claydon's Lesbian Vampire Killers.

Written by Stewart Williams and Paul Hupfield, this horror comedy focuses on Corden and Horne "stuck in a village where all the women have been enslaved by a vampire curse." This makes it sound like the village was a lesbian commune, or the girls tapped into their gay side after growing the fangs, sort of like Willow on Buffy. However, IMDb fills in some blanks. An ancient curse falls upon this Welsh town, so the "remaining menfolk ... send two hapless young lads out onto the moors as a sacrifice." Talk about drawing the short stick, although I imagine there are worse ways to be sacrificed.

I'm sure there will be lots of skin and all the girlie bits that make horror fanboys salivate. What I don't know much about is Gavin & Stacey. Any fans out there want to weigh in about Corden and Horne taking on lesbian blood suckers? Can they do it?
