About
If you enjoy chaotic, off-the-rails comedy-horror and a lead performance that goes big, this could be your kind of midnight movie, especially if you like the vibe of Idle Hands or House; Not for you if you want a tight, serious vampire story.
Pros: wildly over-the-top lead; dark, bizarre humor; cult-meme energy | Cons: uneven tone; slow, repetitive stretches; disturbing, tasteless moments
