CommentsXp Best movie ever!
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
James Barber I couldn't stop laughing, except when it Danika took her clothes off. Seriously, for fake breasts, they were nice on that tiny frame. Add to that she was a vampire... whew!Jason Mewes has come a long way from his days playing a stoner counterpart to best friend Kevin Smith's short list of comedies. I have followed his career, and I must say, after viewing Bottoms Up, The Last Godfather, and Shoot the Hero, this one deserves ten stars.The fact is, Mewes can perform. He's had excellent lessons, having starred with great actors, like Alan Rickman and Harvey Keitel. And I find it absolutely hilarious when he freaks out over her feeding and cusses her out, then pausing and going, "Get your ass up and help me clean this f***ing mess up!His paramedic friend is funny, and he shows a lot of concern. Even if the movie doesn't show it, you can suspend your disbelief and understand he cares a lot for Mewes' character. The after credits conclusion is great. I mean, I awesome that either so much time has passed that Mewes is nothing more than a monster, or that his buddy comes back after feeding time and they play checkers and talk about "anal."No matter what, though, the movie held my attention. Especially when he wraps his ex's body up to the tune of a children's "Clean-Up" nursery rhyme. Perfect.
JoeytheBrit Jack (Jason Mewes) is a paramedic working the night shift who is depressed by his lack of girl-meeting opportunities after being dumped by his girlfriend. He spends most of his time complaining about his lot to his older workmate (Richard Fitzpatrick - who looks a lot like Rod Steiger here) who is worryingly obsessed with all things anal, until he discovers one hot - but blood-splattered - chick (Erica Cox) lying in the rubbish outside his apartment. Jack takes her to his apartment to tend her wounds and an intimacy grows between them even as Jack begins to have doubts about her nocturnal habits… I can't recall seeing many vampire films that focus on the effect of a newly-acquired status as a vampire on the romantic relationship of the person afflicted and their loved one, so I suppose this cheap direct-to-video horror is to be applauded on that count. Sadly, the subject is handled in such a dull, repetitive manner that there's little else to recommend it.The film's lack of budget is obvious from the murky lighting - even Jack's apartment is in perpetual darkness - and the negligible number of locations, but a small budget has never been a drawback to a talented, creative director. In fact, it can very often serve as a source of inspiration simply because the lack of money calls upon a certain amount of ingenuity and creativity on the parts of the writer and director. Unfortunately, neither party are capable of rising to the challenge with any authority, even though the film starts off quite promisingly with some telling moments in the interplay between Jack and his older colleague (before, that is, the anal references become boringly frequent). Ironically, it's when Danika, the sultry, recently-turned vampiress appears on the scene that the plot becomes mired in the repetitive doldrums from which it never recovers. By the final reel, the script has deteriorated to the point where Jack and Roger (Fitzpatrick) are shouting every line to each other, and inserting an expletive in every sentence in a futile attempt to inject some excitement into the lacklustre proceedings..
abisio I never had great appreciation on Jason Mewes stoned characters even if they are fun to watch; but this time is a clean person, full of personality issues though. In any case he delivers a solid, sometimes funny and sometimes sad performance as a paramedic in personal crisis. It is a pity that Erica Cox (aside from an excellent body, generously shown), is not capable of any acting; otherwise this will be an above average; almost very good movie.Jack (Mewes), a paramedic in the middle of a live crisis (his fiancée betrayed him and his life goes nowhere) finds Danika (Cox), a beautiful soon-to-become vampire and decides to protect her while falling for her. The vampire, of course needs to feed very often and her tastes are expensive in terms of human lives. The budget is minimal; most of the action occurs inside Jack's apartment and the all but the three characters existed to become food. However, there is a rather cruel portrait of middle to low class society hidden before the surface. People passing through life; completely dehumanized and selfish with no moral values. Jack had refused to return his fiancée her stuff; because he is a fetish and also as a way to get her back; however when Danike kills her; he gets very happy because she cheated on him. Jack's best friend Roger is only concerned about sex and has no respect people or privacy. Jack neighbors' are drug dealers or miserable people. With this kind of twisted people around; the vampire feels almost natural. It is really sad the movie never goes beyond the light satire. An interested and very dark comedy could come out of that with just a little touching on the story and a stricter actor's direction.
rob12357 A great way to kill some time... Watch this movie and you'll not regret it! It has the usual elements of vampire movies... seduction, carnal appetites, the innocents, the guilty... but in this one there are scenes that imprinted themselves into my consciousness probably forever. The image of a beautiful nude female vampire covered with blood and thrusting on top of her deceased victim is so surrealistic and and unforgettable I had to break my silence and write a spoiler about it. The makers of this film obviously devoted some thought to the dark world of vampires. Or maybe they were just having fun with it... in either case, it's a must see! If you want reality, turn off your TV and go outside... but if you want to be entertained, watch this one! Hopefully it will someday be released in the US without being cut to death... :)
