Greg Mckeon playing 20 something wasn't believable
Something to watch while drinking with friends to laugh

I liked this movie. It's no dumber than the Twilight movies, and it's lots more fun. Jason Lockhart is actually good, despite the stupid way he has to talk, and there is real, believable chemistry between him and Christian Ferrer, even though Ferrer is not attractive and if Lockhart is gay I'm Ronald Reagan.
I don't know what all the reviewers who hated this movie expected, but I expected to hate it and ended up enjoying it a lot. And not because it's bad. To me, movies are NEVER so bad they're good; if they're bad, they're just bad. This one is amateurish and dumb, but it's also sexy and fun. I actually wanted it to be longer.

Synopsis: Vampires made by an Ancient One on their 100th anniversary of becoming a Vampire must do the same else they and their progeny die. Jasin (yes that is how it is spelt) and his "brothers," come to LA to find "The One" for Jasin so they can all live together. Unbeknownst to Caleb, a young, gay, college swimming star from Ohio just moved to LA, he is "The One."
Pluses: Just how bad the dialogue was. It was awesomely bad! The acting was so wrong. Their skills of fake drinking coffee were brilliant! I had no idea it was a gay equivalent to Twilight, I was surprised when the leads were acting, well, gay. The sunshine myth is just that, a myth - turns out Vampire Boys tan quite nicely. Their abs weren't nearly as fake as suggested by the poster. It was just insanely fun.
Minuses: The score/music - it was atrocious! That being said, once you got used to it, it kind of added to the experience. The token female looked like an ex-hooker with bad plastic surgery. What was with the shock shot of extra large genitalia? Jasin's hair.
A few of my friends and I love catching terrible movies - when I saw this was rated at 2.4 on IMDb, I thought I had to see it. After a busy week and tiring Saturday, I skipped a BBQ and livetweeted the movie - you can see that here though don't forget to keep clicking more till there aren't any more - then read from the bottom up. It wasn't the worst movie I have seen, but its approach was super fun, and I had an absolute blast watching it. As someone who doesn't much care for the Twilight franchise, this was just brilliant. That I had no idea what I was getting myself in for, made it even more fun.

Jasin (Jason Lockhart) and his vampire brood's time is running out. In order for them to survive, Jasin needs to find a mortal to turn into a vampire to spend eternity with.
There are numerous complaints one could have with this film. If you are homophobic, the overt gayness and exposed members might turn you off. But even if you dig gayness, there is plenty to scare you off -- mostly the absolutely terrible, emotionless acting. But also the complete denial of vampire mythology.
The film does try to explain that vampire legends are myths, but this more or less removes any reason to call them vampires at all. Sure, they feed on blood... but this is all. Sunlight, mirrors, stakes, garlic and crosses are all perfectly fine.
The only part I really liked at all was the flashback of how Jasin was turned into a vampire. But this was maybe one minute long and then it went back to terrible acting. I suppose I could be thankful the film is only 70 minutes long, but it feels like an eternity. Special thanks to Dan McGinnis for finding this gem.

The sexy boys are the main attraction and I watched it with little expectation. With that said, It felt as if it were a film made by high school students with zero experience in film-making. The lack of budget combined with terrible acting and cheesy dialogue = a great example of how to not make a film. So if you are interested in making one yourself, I highly suggest to watch this to avoid making the same mistakes. I cannot say I was at any point drawn to the characters and the story but I did wonder if it could get any crappier...it always did. But hey! if you want to watch it for the sexy shirtless men making out, I say go ahead and enjoy yourself! Just fast forward to the fun!
I give it a 3/10 due to the attractiveness of the male actors because they were the only enjoyable thing about the film.
