After getting off work, a young woman decides to follow her friends to a local sci-fi convention being held in the area which introduces her to a vampire she falls for, but when she gets turned by the vampire must rely on her friends to help adapt to the situation and keep her human.
This was a fairly solid and somewhat likable indie feature with a lot to like. Among the better elements here is the strong storyline that manages to offer up the kind of lighthearted approach this type of subject matter feels quite at home with. Looking at the initial motivation to get them to the convention and get out into the floors of the meeting where this one can revel in its love for the kind of sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fare that would normally be present in such a convention allows the meet-cute to have a semblance of heart to it. The shenanigans featured there, involving the costumes, the film screenings, the dance contests, and general revelry used here, means that there's a genuine admiration for this type of scene that helps to allow the rest of the interactions to have a charm to them aided along by a lot of comedic touches between everyone in here. That lets the film go through a wholly enjoyable and entertaining series of exploits with the group trying to ensure the vampire tendencies they believe she has won't come to the surface. With the initial discovery of the bite marks and how she's going around displaying some of the early warning signs of being turned into a vampire, there are some immensely fun moments to be had here treating the various symptoms as if they're items on a checklist which gives this some fun times. Also, once they know the full extent of their mission in tracking down the real vampire that turned her and use that to get her back to human while taking place in the middle of the convention, there's a slew of fun to be had here as this takes a bit more serious the various interactions and tactics used to get them together which gives the film a fun energy that is quite enjoyable overall. There are a few small issues to be had here. The main drawback to this one, which isn't even that much of a drawback anyway, is the film's lighter tone and approach makes the horror aspects here leave it pretty lacking in this area. While that's to be expected given the target audience for the characters which explains a lot of the interactions found here, the majority of this one keeps itself focused on getting an understanding of what she's going through and the friends trying to help her. This is a fun time but leaves the horror confrontations few and far between so it's got a generally light setup that could put some off rather easily, and with the film's obvious low-budget limitations that pop up are the issues with this one.
