Vampire Boys 2: The New Brood (2013)

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

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.

VAMPIRE BOYS 2: THE NEW BLOOD seems to be some kind of gay vampire film, and I should note from the start that I haven't seen the original film. Not that I appear to be missing anything: this is dreadful stuff indeed, a purely amateurish production which simply consists of young male cast members stripping off for pretend gym scenes and occasionally romancing each other. The main characters stand around and chat in endless stilted scenes and there's one lame, half-hearted fight scene towards the climax to make you laugh. There's no discernible vampire action or bloodshed either, rendering this a complete waste of time, the kind of film that makes me wonder why the effort was made to shoot it in the first place.

There are some films that only deserve a review because of others so bad you can't even attempt one. This is the case of VB2TNB. There is some plot there, though awfully developed: the 'good' vampires are menaced by the appearance of a 'bad' vampire trying to form a squad of vampires to fight...who they? And so the story stays, and all is only explained at the end. But he film wouldn't be so bad if the actors could minimally act. They deliver their lines monotonously, with no space for emotion. Do Vampires have no emotion at all? The scenes of battles are equally poor, being there nearly for the sole reason to watch frontal nudes, something the leads and other characters are always ready to offer. Even for a great vampire fan this film is a flop, intended for a gay audience with very low expectations.

By the end of the first Vampire Boys movie, I had finally gotten used to how bad all of the actors were, and in fact had become quite fond of them. They were so bad that they were actually good. The original Caleb was especially annoying. Yet, I found myself strangely looking forward to the prospect of watching the sequel. I was particularly looking forward to seeing how awful Caleb would be this time around...Unfortunately I'll never know how bad the original Caleb would have been the second time around. It was a crushing blow to learn that Jasin and Caleb are played by different actors in the sequel. The new Jasin totally sucks. The new Caleb isn't nearly as grating as the last one. He's just cute and boring. I don't understand why they bothered making this sequel when they couldn't even get any of the actors from the first movie to come back (except the girl). Because of this, I found Vampire Boys 2 to be a huge disappointment.

I'm sorry but this movie isn't worth watching at all. Unless all you are interested in is looking at the male body and looks then go for it. It seems acting classes for these so called actors was not a requirement and I became quite annoyed and irritable. At times you can see that the actors are trying too hard in getting their lines out and certain scenes are over done or too dramatic. The story line is basic and as a book, this may have been better than a film. These young half naked men are better to star in a porn movie because apart from their bodies, the talent isn't there.I do give credit to Steven Vasquez for trying but after the flop of the first Vampire Boys why the hell create a second part which is far worse?
