Summary: NICE intro for a... BAD movie...
Review: Don't get me wrong: I love bad movies, but this thing is trying to be a comedy-horror-erotic film all at once, and it fails miserably. There is but one compelling thing to this movie: The intro. EXCELLENT directing, and very effective performances in the first 5 minutes. My goodness, once I was finished with this movie, I felt as I did when I walked out of seeing A.I.: Very,very,very insulted.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bloody Good
Review: If you like a bit of gore, a little hoaky stuff and a wacky story line, you'll love this movie. Bare bodies are bouncing around all over the place. Good work for a low budget film. The brief role of the mother is outstanding and very scary. She has such depth and sincerity. It will be difficult to keep a dry eye. She felt this part from the tip of her toes to the end of her teeth. I know. I was right there with her!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very Uneven
Review: The beginning of this film is amazing. The first scenes create the impression that this will be the best and most original vampire movie since Near Dark, and the direction during these scenes is excellent. It is almost like a low-budget cross between David Lynch and David Fincher, especially with its sound design (lots of drones). Unfortunately, what starts out as an excellent film which manages to be equal parts serious drama and black comedy quickly loses all of its steam as soon as the vampire's slave decides he's had enough and is going to quit. After that the directing style actually becomes weaker and at times silly, as does the comedy, and the drama almost completely disappears. There are a few moments throughout the film, especially the scenes with the old man Marvin, who is always funny, which make it bearable to sit through to the end, but ultimately the last two-thirds are just a weak, low-budget vampire film with some comedy.

Summary: This Movie Rocks!!!
Review: This film captures the best of two genres, horror and comedy. The director displays a talent and maturity that's too rare today.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: First Half Good
Review: This film starts off really well, it is full of mild horror; a vampire likes to paint using real blood, & drains a few women to top up her supply.

Then the film changes to become a typical Troma loser (an attempt at comedy?). I'm not sure if they used the scripts from two different films for this, 1/2 of one 1/2 of the other.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stay away...stay very far away
Review: This movie does not rock; this isn't even what one might call a movie. Bad, awful....Troma. The scariest thing about this flick was buying and enduing it's full running time.

Did I say run....yes, run away--to another galaxy--anywhere this horrendous thing does not exist.

Bye the by, I can't recommend this.
