Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
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
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Michael Ledo Lisa (Clare Kramer) is a stripper with stage 4 cancer. She hasn't informed her boyfriend Maxx (Matt Keeslar) who simply believes the smell and vomit is because she is a drug addict. Lisa's dancing style catches the eye of Mariel (Serena Scott Thomas) who recruits the near dead Lisa into a vampire coven. Maxx believes Lisa is dead until he sees her out one night at the Inferno Club. Eventually Maxx becomes one of them and the story becomes one of a bizarre metaphor for addiction.The film had plenty of blood. In fact our vampires are not overly neat and bathing appears to be optional. It was a little much. Most female vampires eventually become topless except for Lisa who wears a colored see-through early on. There were times the film had that classic "Dusk to Dawn (D2D)" feel to it, but it didn't last. Fans of the D2D series with low standards should like this feature.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity.
lastliberal So what is important - life, friendship, love? The film explores these issue in a sea of blood. Twilight it isn't! Clare Kramer (Glory in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") decides that life is worth more, even if it is life as a vampire. She is totally hot and turns in a great performance.Eventually, her boyfriend Maxx (Matt Keeslar from "The Middleman") joins her. He becomes more of a vampire than she is. She seems to have some humanity in her.Jeremy Sisto ("Six Feet Under", "Law and Order") is the leader of the vampires. He steals every scene he appears in.Sure, it bears a huge resemblance to Near Dark, but it is an enjoyable ride.Music by Rasputina.
Movie-Man-Bob I'm something of a connoisseur of vampire movies. Even the bad ones are usually fun to watch. But this one... it just fell flat. Firstly, it's got nothing in it that we haven't already seen in a hundred other vampire movies. Second of all, I found it difficult to identify with or care about either of the main characters at all. They're not particularly interesting, despite several formulaic attempts to give them "depth." The only characters who are even remotely interesting or fun are the so-called "bad guys"--the vampires. Adam Baldwin, playing pretty much the same character he played in Firefly and Serenity; Neil Jackson, with whom I was previously unfamiliar, but marginally impressed; and Jeremy Sisto, who is clearly having a blast in this film, switching back and forth seemingly at random between a Russian accent and a Southern one (which was possibly the best part of the movie). Far from the first movie to have its villains be more engaging than its heroes, of course. But the problem is that the lives and histories of these characters--teeming with potential--are only just barely mentioned or hinted at. This movie could have scored at least another point or two with me if they had told it from the vampires' point of view, rather than the couple.Fans of Buffy and Angel might want to give this movie a look, as it has no less than three former cast members: Clare Kramer, Adam Baldwin, and Tom Lenk (the other bright spot of the movie--he's hilarious). But anyone who doesn't recognize the names I just mentioned would do best to stay away.
mourngrym1969 This movie was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Made funnier by the fact that it was quite unintentionally hilarious.**SPOILER ALERT*** ...not that there is truly anything to spoil, but I will follow the rules and warn you I may mention something specific in the movie while poking fun at the content, so there you are.Even for a vampire movie, this has a weak premise/plot point. Former addicts become vampires then have an attack of morality. That's the plot, done. OK, the characters... Daddy Darius looks like Shannon Elizabeth's ex-husband and let's just say his accent is funny. The Russian nurse woman could not be more stereo typical if her name was Olga Von Russky. The one that makes this movie the comedy it is is the main guy, Maxx... the actor that plays him is familiar, seen him around (probably in a toilet paper commercial). He emotes like a retarded three year old on Ritalin. He vacillates between whiny addict full of excuses to holier than thou twelve stepper out to save the world. Scene by scene, whatever supports that scenes horrid action.Note to special effects shop: blood is not orange, ever. Note to cameraman/lighting crew, blood is never purple, even when lit wrong. Note to filmmakers, blood does not spurt from every possible pin hole you put in a person, if it did, we would all just spontaneously explode.Bottom line, if you are drunk or high, this can provide a monkey barrel of unintentional laughs (and speaking of monkeys, the 'sisters' spent the entire movie naked or grunting and walking like drunken baboons). Otherwise, avoid at all costs.You have been warned!
