Featured reviews
Good actors with nothing better to do. This movie sucked, I kept waiting for anything to happen. An hour and 19 mins into the movie it finally does, then it is over! Lame. Please do not watch this movie if you value your time. Not sure the point of even making a movie so unfulfilling. If you watch this one, be ready for long walking down the hall scenes. Also filled with plenty of boring conversation! Sad thing is I really like Long, albeit he was better fitted in comedy. I feel like this movie was below the bar for both of the leads in this movie. I guess if you enjoyed that movie Tusk he did then you will enjoy this one but for me it was just not my jam. I need more going on in a movie so I don't fall asleep!
The film gave me hope with its beginning. But was a let down by the time it ended. Justin Long really uplifts this film with his acting but the lack of chemistry amongst the other actors, and zero depth in the script made it impossible to like this film.
There were moments like some conversations between the characters which reflected a proper writing but it fell off in the rest of the film. Couple of jumpscares does the job well but that's it. For a moment it does take an interesting turn but then just leaves that part hanging which could have made this film a bit more interesting.
The ending seemed forced. It would've worked if it was a short film.

We just tried to watch this movie. Whoever wrote this dialog clearly has never interacted with real humans. 20 minutes in and Justin Long's character was so unlikeable with the ceaseless rambling that we gave up. There was zero action or anything compelling to hook someone in. This would probably be suited best as a low budget play instead of a movie. The preview to the film was intriguing but if you can't hook an audience in the first 20 min of an hour and a half film the entire script needs to be rewritten. Overall I will give this a one star for the reimagining premise but sadly cannot give it any more than that.
Pretty decent film told in real time, I think only made more enjoyable due to Justin Long. He played his character perfectly. This guy who thinks he's suave, looking for a good time, who is still rather awkward when it comes to women.
It's obvious from the title and trailer what's going to happen, so there's not much of a shock factor here or any surprises unfortunately, which would have made it slightly better.
Not overly keen on Kate Bosworth's casting. I actually think they should have swapped Kate's character with the second sister...she was a far better actress. Overall a decent watch but it's pretty predictable.

It must be tedious to write movies like this one: the ending is obvious from the premises, so the remaining time must be filled by characters' development.
Unfortunately, the evil one (Long) is not evil at all, and the heroines (the vampires) are not heroic. Instead, they all share bad lines.
After 90' of watching, one gets the long predicted ending - and there could have been an interesting plot twist: e.g. The victim could have proved himself as a vampire hunter and kill the monsters...but this is simply forbidden in Hollywoke.
More, if the movie had not involved a male dismemberment, it would never be done.
So pathetic.
