Ripping Yarns for the 21 Century

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2012)

Saw this film tonight with extremely low expectation and just needing to get out of the house. So when I watched the beginning I thought this was going to be another failed horror flick full of clichés and dull plot or simply no plot. How wrong I was. When I began to get into it I realised that this was in fact more of an old school Ripping Yarn. This is what was done so well on a lot cheaper budget in the UK years ago. It adds a ton of humour to what is a (Sorry for he pun) dead genre. Vampire stories have long gone by their sell by date and this gives them a new life. I laughed through the whole film and not once did they try to play it for laughs. It helped bring me out of a dull fog from too much work. It entertained me, not once did it scare me. I don't think it ever meant to scare anyone. This is a piece of pure fun and should be seen only as that. Think Sean of the Dead and you've got the idea.
