Awful does not start to tell you the let down. Where in the universe do these reviewers giving 9 and 10 come from? One even wrote "best movie of the year". You got to be kidding me!

I admit, the ploy is always the same: early on upon movie release, all these people show up with lots and lots of standard / non sensical praises extolling the worse movies. Technically, this trick is as old as online reviews: it fortunately should not fool anybody. Well, except me this time... I saw the IMDB average 6.something rating, thought why not? and went for it.

Well, that was a mistake: this movie was like a bad dream with nothing to redeem it. A bad movie with all the ingredients: the misfits vampires, the violent weirdos, a meh! vague story, a bout of MMA, lots of blood, a tiny touch of gothic atmosphere and above all, Ladies and Gentlemen, real baaaad acting. If you have 1:35 hour to waste, here is the occasion.

Ohh my this was really bad. And not in a good way, but in the "I feel really sorry for these guys" cringe worthy kind of way.

I am not sure if it supposed to be a pilot for a possible tv show or what the deal was but as a standalone movie this does not work at all.

Maybe if they had a decent editor there might have been some sort of coherence to the story, but as it stands its a mess. Guess its supposed to be an origin story? The byline here at IMDB that describes the movie is the ending. Getting there is confusing and NOT AT ALL scary in the very least bit.

The main antagonist, Cory Feldman, as a cross dressing bloodthirsty john was probably supposed to be scary (?) but comes across as a sad sack of you know what. Its a spoof on Buffalo Bill from silence of the lambs, but where he came across as disturbed in a disconcerting manner, Feldman's Bill just feels sad. You simply cant help feeling sorry for him and his mediocre personage. Is this really the best they could do for a bad guy?

Ohhh yes there is another guy in the shadows somewhere but I guess they saved him for the series.

To summarize, its not scary. Its incoherent and its all been done and seen before, the main protagonist is as forgettable as they come and the main antagonist is sad and embarrassing.

I really wanted to like this.. But its just not worth seeing. The poster is OK though.

There is nothing good to say about this movie. This movie is about as good as Feldman's music. Take my word & don't waste your time or you'll never get it back.

My opinion "this is bad" from an interesting first ten minutes, with what seemed potential watchability , it went down hill and is still going. I have nothing good or constructive to say about this film. The unfortunate thing is to pass an opinion you have to watch it.

The movie is low budget, the writing is shoddy and the acting is okay. It's nothing special. I tried very hard to watch this movie. I read the reviews that were very positive and took a chance on it and really regretted my decision to watch it.

It has a lot of promise, the sound effects were spot on, the B roll was excellent but the movie really disappoints in the A roll, the acting and the editing. I became really frustrated with the way the A roll was shot for this movie. In the first 10 minutes of the movie they don't consider framing to be important, so things that need to be wide angled are shot closely and things that are shot closely are wide angled. It makes no artistic or functional sense.

There's a dialogue scene in the first 10 minutes where the main character is speaking to another influential character and the acting is just....poor. There is no tension, there is no real emotion being shown, it's like they told the main actor to act conflicted and he took that to mean act as if he was constipated! The line delivery in that conversation was so poor, the timing so bad, I wonder if the person who cast these roles even cared!

Then there's the editing. Oh God, the editing. In that same conversation they switch the A roll (primary shots) between the two characters for every line they speak. For roughly 3 minutes you have the camera going right-left, left-right, back and forth for every....single....line of dialogue, without any transition, it's almost all straight cuts. They do use L and J cuts but sparingly. If you're epileptic and can be triggered, I'd avoid this movie at all costs.

I'll try to watch it again, because I've never felt the need to write such a negative review of a movie before. I want to be fair to the people who worked on this movie, but from my first watch, it was terrible.
