There's not much to say about Atom Age Vampire. The name suggest some kick ass nuclear powered bloodsuckers (that would still be better than Superman 4). The film doesn't deliver. It's a Poverty Row horror movie obsessed with the time in was made in, but lacking both the quality to be good and the utter lack of quality to be "so bad it's good". It defines mediocre.
There are a few moments that shine in this movie that make it worth at least one watching. For one, the use of the "healing" properties of nuclear radiation. That had me laughing. Another thing is how poor and ineffective the doctor's monster is. He can barely even hold onto the girls he kidnaps so he can harvest their.....you know what, the reason is bullshit anyways, so it's not really that important. The one genuine character in the movie is the gardener who kills the doctor/monster at the end. I'm pretty sure a movie about a monster who is a doctor would be more entertaining then this movie. Anyways, he is an interesting character. He is mute, yet seems to display wisdom in his silence. He is torn between obeying his master and his knowledge of what he is doing. I really wish the movie showed me more about what makes this guy tick.
That's about it. Here's to hoping they actually make either a nuclear vampire or monster doctor movie.
