Featured reviews
I just went to the Theatre to watch this film with a bunch of friends over the past weekend! It was awesome! We all really enjoyed it. I am a huge supporter of Canadian Film - partly because Im an avid movie buff and because im a film major. What a delightfully scary, humorous film. I enjoyed the story and the slight variance of traditional Vampire themes meets new age additions that gave for a softer side to such a dark theme. Nice to see some older classic actors still doing their thing. The film was dark, humorous with a loving undetone. We laughed, we jumped and then we cried. All in all, my entire group of friends enjoyed this film.
Some good cameos - James Cann in particular - other than that, I cannot see how the positive reviews of this film can stand. Truly dire film on all levels - (some of the) acting, script, plot, editing, music, etc. It felt like a 'favour' movie where most of the cast pitched up for an hour or two to do their bit then it was all stitched together in to something that lasted as long as a feature film.
I kept watching hoping for the gags to come because that's what this film needed to give it any saving grace - make it a comedy because that's all that would save it. (Made in 2015? I paused the film to double check this - it felt like early 80s on a shoestring+favours.)

What can I say, this flick was pretty awesome. It had all the ingredients for a great vampire themed movie. Me and my lady enjoyed it very much! It was pretty great to have caught this film in the theatre as it just needed to be played on the big screen! I liked the vast group of Actors that come from all various types of films! And all characters were just so convincing and genuine! My girlfriend loved the music and the loving relationships between family members. I think Canadian films are highly profitable, well done and well written and this was clearly one of those. Im a huge supporter of independent film and proud to support such a terrific film. Well done
I just watched this movie in theatres and loved it. It was much better than I expected it to be. It's filled with tons of action from start to finish and each of the cast members played their roles really well. There were a few gruesome scenes, which is expected from a mobster and horror movie, but there were also some pretty hilarious one-liners and wise-guy cracks. It was just a great mix overall. Also, I love the fact that the film is Canadian made, filmed in Canada and written and directed by Canadian, Frank D'Angelo. So I'm more than happy to go out and support Canadian cinema! Overall, this movie isn't one to be missed.
I was waiting for this movie ever since the story broke that James Caan dropped out of a television series to take a part in it. I thought this has to be a great movie for an actor like James Caan to drop a series for it. Finally it came to the Vaughan Cinemas on a limited engagement. So we went the very first night. The theatre was a buzz with suspense and then it started and it literally sucked me and my friend it from the first scene. No pun intended. We were mesmerized with the big visuals and the big music. Every scene kept us on the edge of our seats as the story unfolded. The entire audience fell into the spell of this cinematic mastery as the director took us on a journey into the life of a mobster struggling with anxiety and anguish. This is a brilliant film, if I did not know better I would have thought that it was directed by Tarantino. I enjoyed it thoroughly, nice work Frank D'Angelo.
