Likable due to it's light touch, but not without it's sizable flaws
Timid, spineless, reluctant vampire Jeff looks after his overbearing mother (Cherie Petry hamming it up like no one's business), who is incredibly mad at her son for not fully embracing his vampiric ancestry (when she's not sucking the blood out of anything that comes to her house door). One day Jeff meets Nina, a girl who falls for Jeff's wimpy aloof ways for some God knows reason. Of course this draws the ire of dear old mom and sets them all on a road to an inevitable collision.
Jeff's incessant whining gets a tad old after awhile and the ending is pretty anti-climatic, but the film did have some charm due to how the movie was played tongue (or rather fang)-in- cheek. Fans of extremely low-budget horror fare might want to check it out, but everyone else who doesn't have that particular acquired taste would do better to steer clear of this one.
My Grade: C-
