A womanizing slacker (Jake Hoffman) takes a job directing a weird spin-off of "Hamlet" written by and starring a vampire.

Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

Starts off feeling clever and original but turns silly and diffused as its convoluted story spins out.

Rated: 2.5/5

Michelle Orange

Village Voice

All of the riffs are twice and thrice removed, but the effect is lively rather than tiresome, largely on the strength of game performances, Sean Lennon's atmospheric score, and writer/director Jordan Galland's clear affection for his sources.

Mike Hale

New York Times

A toothless satire whose targets include vampire mania, low-rent theater, indie romantic comedies, Scorsese, Shakespeare and Law & Order, it plays like a Web series expanded to feature length.

Rated: 2.5/5

From the Front Row

A good idea in search of a good film that comes up completely empty handed.

Rated: .5/4

Cinema Crazed

A delightful mix of intelligence, hilarity, scares and unbridled talent...

It sounds ridiculous, and indeed it is, but ultimately the film is so much fun that silliness of the plot is easily forgiven.

Rated: 3/4

Honestly, it was a little weird & cheesy, but I oddly enough really enjoyed the film. The casting was interesting... plus I'm a sucker for Ralph Macchio on film.

Very silly and not what I expected. I watched this when I was sick and it made me happy.

Has its moments, but like a vampire's unslakeable thirst, it refuses to be satisy its consumer.
