Pretty Good

hyped garbage

Good start, but then it gets ruined

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I really found the story to this film interesting. You see a lot of vampire movies out there and the vampires are usually all the same or have a lot in common. This is a strange take on vampires. They have about 10% in common with vampires you usually hear about and it is a bit humorous that they all live in a business building that is one of the highest grossing businesses. You can also say they are a little like a vampire zombie mix. The cast is OK. Some better than others. You will see side characters like Robert Wagner or Jason Mewes. Darrell Hammond is one of the head vampires, but his acting was a little off. The 80s star Judd Nelson is in it and he was OK. I always liked him better in his teen days though. Dave Foley is hard to take seriously, but in this role, he kind of fit. The main role was Steve Burns and I think he did a great job. The one thing I enjoyed about this film was the dialog. It really had some catchy words that you can sit and love to listen to. Explanations of how the vampires came to be would be a good example. So overall, it was an enjoyable movie. The only really problems were some slow parts and part of the cast that really didn't seem into it.

A lot of comedy movies suffer from the problem is that they are built on one joke, which they drag out for 90 minutes. This is probably Netherbeast's flaw. the plot is that a company that only employs vampires was set up in the 1880's to give them a safe place to work. So there is the juxtaposition of typical office life jokes in the vein (no pun intended) of "The Office" or "Dilbert" against the fact that they are all vampires.... ha ha. The nerdy hero vampire is smitten with the new human hire who was brought on board by the CEO, who is suffering from Vampire Alzheimer's and has forgotten he is a vampire. Meanwhile, there is a scheme going on in the office for a few vampires to make themselves more powerful.It's a fun little film.

A bloodsucking corporation is nothing new, but a corporation full of blood suckers is interesting and really quite funny.There were really not outstanding performances in this film, although Amy Davidson was cute as the human hire in the corporation. Most of the cast contributed to the humor, so it was a group effort.The PowerPoint's throughout were really funny and added to the comedic atmosphere of the film.The corporation is dealing with a CEO with Alzheimer's, while a hostile takeover is happening.It was definitely a different approach to the vampire story.

I had this movie described to me as a vampire comedy, so I figured I'd like it. It isn't, and I didn't.The thing is, these creatures aren't vampires - they're a new type of creature that I hadn't heard of yet. Which is great, 'cause we need some original ideas in a world of remakes and sequels. Unfortunately, though, since these are new creatures the filmmakers spend most of the movie explaining to us who they are, their history, their likes and dislikes, how they live, how they die, etc. This goes on . . . and on . . . and on. It constantly interrupts the movie. The filmmakers try to make these scenes of exposition visually interesting but it all comes across like a Powerpoint presentation.Exposition aside, the story itself is pretty good but I would have liked to have had things explained in a more sophisticated way.The comedy is there in spurts but it is too uneven throughout the film. The opening scene and the film's climax are the two funniest things in the film. Throughout the rest, though, it felt like a big inside joke that I wasn't in on. Some scenes fall completely flat, some resort to toilet humor, and some make no sense.As far as actors go, Darrel Hammond is funny doing what is essentially his Bill Clinton routine from SNL. His opening scene is hilarious, but unfortunately he takes a backseat quickly. David Foley is completely wasted in a flat role. I couldn't believe that they bothered to cast one of the funniest men alive and have him do nothing interesting. Jason Mewes pops up for a pointless buddy role halfway through the film. Judd Nelson definitely steals the show as the movie progresses and is at his best in the film's climax.My other gripe is that the chemistry between the lead actor and the main girl felt very forced. I didn't buy their relationship for some reason.Overall, it provides a few laughs but feels like a missed opportunity. I would suggest it on DVD only to fans of independent cinema who can get over things like horrible lighting and camerwork. This is one of those movies that will probably get a cult audience but everyone else will hate.
