I Had a Bloody Good Time at House Harker

This is a well done movie and a bloody good time. Definitely worth the watch if you like the genre.

Imagine if Edgar Wright made a vampire movie with a tiny budget. It's along those lines. There were bits that were very reminiscent of Shaun of the Dead, and The World's End. It was more fun than I expected.

I love B-movies, I love indie movies, I comedy troupe movies, and I love movies that don't take themselves too seriously. This movie met all of those criteria.

That's not to say that I'm biased. If anything, I was skeptical. Usually these movies aren't worth the 90 minutes it takes to watch them. 4But, this movie doesn't get ahead of itself, and it doesn't draw out the movie for length of time (comes in around 80 minutes).

I love all horror, from Evil Dead to The Conjuring universe. It's nice to have a little comedic relief from time to time. If there has even been a "feel good vampire movie," this is it. The movie does this while paying homage to horror classics such as The Exorcist, Dracula, Evil Dead, etc.

The humor is good-natured and lighthearted. It's obvious that these guy truly enjoyed making this flick, much like The Broken Lizard crew does. It is easily with the 80 minutes needed to watch it.

I have no connection to anyone in this movie, the distributor, the studio, etc. I simply think it's a fun movie and gave it 6 stars. I will be watching it again a few more times.

The movie is really not taking itself serious. The movie is very silly but has a lot of heart. It's tough to tell if this will resonate with you or not. If you can just relax and sit back and just enjoy this ride, do it. I watched it at a Festival, so I got the reaction from others too (was very well received), so try to watch it with friends.

8 may a bit high, but I do recognize it when a movie succeeds in being go silly. That's a lot tougher to do than some may imagine. Also the "acting" is good at being bad, the relationships between the characters is plausible and the "story" flows along nicely. Likable, down to earth madness, that is over the top with its humor ...

This got several genuine laughs out of me, and reminded me of my LARP vampire days. Everyone seemed to be having fun, and the story and script were halfway decent.

Yes, some jokes fall flat, and there were a few tropes I thought were just kinda crammed in and the time could have been better spent elsewhere, but none of that was enough to detract from the overall spoofy enjoyment.

Also, digs at Stephenie Meyer and the crappy Twilight books will always put a smile on my face.
