It doesn't take long to figure out this is a comedy vampire film with weak good vampires fighting strong bad vampires, or something like that. The good vampires are looking for "the chosen one" to lead them into battle as they find Bob (Robert Chapin) an under employed actor best known for Vamp Slayer 2. They assemble a group of misfits as this is also a love story and I suppose a very well done found footage tape, filmed by Mike who is now a mute.

Yes, we have seen comedy vampire v. vampire films before, with "Vampire Academy" and "Twilight" series coming to mind with the latter being funny in an MST fashion. For the most part, the humor was predictable, but good. I loved the pep talk scene, kudos Bob, for being able to combine all the great memorable cliché lines from all the other pep talk scenes of our finest and not so finest films. I thoroughly enjoyed that, and unless you are at least half-way into American pop culture films, you won't enjoy the plagiarisms.

I liked the the film which I would classify as a second tier cult classic...and that is not bad.

Guide: F-word. Sex. Promised nudity...maybe the next film.
