Bloodsucking Bastards (2015)

Sadly Over-hyped

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I watched this because it sounded like another 'Midnight Son'. But I did not find anything like that, in fact, I'm disappointed. It is a B movie and showing our displeasure is definitely not worth. Because I went for it knowing what kind of film it is, so expecting a miracle was a foolishness. Honestly, I enjoyed watching this film, but did not like. Though the effort, including the production quality and performances were laudable.I don't know many of these actors, that's how a film like this works, but they did their best. The entire film was shot inside an office. The tale takes place nearly two or maybe three days, but the narration stayed in the office and built a story out of it. It is the story of a bunch of lazy office employees who always plays games in their computer placing bets. But when their new manager arrives, he demands a good result for the company to grow. So overloaded with works, employees begin to act strangely, but couple of them comes to know the reason and decides to fight against it.I think some people would like it, but to find out you are one of those, you have to take a chance on this. The film had potential, but was not fully utilised to make it a classic like you say the one I mentioned in the very first line. Particularly the last few minutes were submerged with the usual horror-comedy stuffs, so boring. If it were clever in some parts, I would have personally recommended it. Overall a better screenplay would have saved the film, but believe me, still it is the worst film of the 2015 I have seen.4/10

...mostly on the strength of its ensemble cast, "Bloodsucking Bastards" plays out like Joss Whedon-lite, which comes as no surprise given its creators' various pedigrees and associations. The feel is that of a made-for-TV movie, in that there's not a single moment of it that calls for big-screen presentation; it's all talking heads and minimal "action," which I suppose is fine for passing the time, but not much else. Ultimately, I was reminded of a low-fi version of "Fright Night," even down to the femme lead named Amanda. It's not an awful film, and pretty much accomplishes what it set out to do, but the bar was low and no one involved seems to have had much interest in raising it. Strictly for vampire geeks in need of a quick snack and willing to be hungry again within the hour.

Not going to give a long review here.The movie delivers what it's supposed to deliver. Cheap jokes and a predictable storyline. Nothing is a surprise, but in this case I actually enjoyed it. Good Sunday movie when you feel like clearing your mind before the next week and just enjoy a little humor. The characters where alright, even though the main characters was far to weak in my opinion (even though I love the actor from his roll in The Doll House). But I guess that was what they were going for. Unfortunately it got quite annoying.The movie was fine, I enjoyed it but you can't expect the highest quality movie or you'll be disappointed.

I'd say it's a weird mix between Office Space, Shaun of the Dead and Fright Night. I give it an "A" for originality as well. There were a few times when things were lining up for a cliché' horror movie moment, but suddenly things veer off the page or jump right to the point, in a hilarious way! I also appreciate how they didn't try to re-invent the wheel. It's almost like they knew where "their particular" sweet spot in comedy was...and kept riding it out through the entire movie. There wasn't any rocky highs and lows with comedy and horror mixing(like most movies of this genre). It was kind of chill and relaxed, yet just enough excitement to keep you curiously hooked on the edge. The personalities really sync in a light-hearted way, it feels pretty genuine and stupid at the same time. It's almost got like a weird sympathetic view towards the vampires too, it's silly yet believable, haha.
