Trama e commenti:
freeforumzone.leonardo.it: «Il film tratta
il tema di cosa vuol dire essere una creatura della notte, con i succhiasangue
che guardano programmi di cattivo gusto e si vestono in modo più che normale,
dall'altra parte i novelli Van Helsing che sembrano usciti da dei fumetti e che
si improvvisano eroi. Ci sono alcune scene spaventose ma il tono generale è
quello della commedia nera con anche un po' di scene sanguinolente; la storia
sarà raccontata come un documentario».

taliesinttlg.blogspot.it: «...The
film is a mockumentary and thus the level of cameras used is perfect, any flaws
in lighting – a problem with the documentary filmmaking process. Said
documentary is being made by Ian (Michael Mergan), Mike (Ryan Sullivan) and Kate
(Maria Collins). Their subject, vampires and the hunters who hunt them.
Henry - crispy critterThe film actually starts with Henry (Alex Tosspon), who is
mixing up a thick paint. He shaves his head, strips and puts in protective
contact lenses. Then he smears himself liberally with the paint. It is Henry’s
daywalking experiment (13th attempt). He walks into the sunlight and rejoices,
he can see the sun, but then he starts to burn. He makes it back to the garage –
somewhat crispier than he was before. Henry was a surfer before being turned and
desperately misses the sun. At the end of the film we hear him talk of Seattle
and the high suicide rate due to, he believes, the many rainy days and lack of
sun. “Being a vampire,” he says insightfully, “Is like living in Seattle all the
time.”
Avi Hartman as AviThere are several other vampires all sharing a house and one
of the astounding things about the film is that, whilst we don’t hear too much
about most of their backgrounds, we learn enough about their characters to bond
with many of them. Avi (Avi Hartman) is a paramedic and Larry (James Brownlee) –
or Laurencio de la Ciscaren – claims to have been an assassin but now is a
doorman at a hotel. He is a traditionalist vampire, sleeping in a coffin whilst
all the others sleep in beds. Thomas (Adam Langley) is a frat boy and the
youngest of the vampires, whilst Darren (Brandon Hayes) owns the house and
several businesses».
