Featured reviews
It's a fun movie with good effects and a lot of laughs - I watched it on a whim but usually I'm into more actual horror.
I enjoyed the concept, as always Dave Franco plays a dag but it works really well for him. Snoop is a legend and a total badass, and you'd expect nothing less from him.
Jamie Foxx is great, well the entire cast is great. Did we always have to use 600 characters to write these reviews???
Like my title says, if it wasn't star studded it honestly probably wouldn't have been as good as it was, but that's true for many movies I suppose.
Watch if you have 2 hours to kill and no real expectations of a Vampire Hunting movie.

This is far from masterpiece especially with all the plotholes and disconnected information and cheesiness but overall I feel that it delivered on entertainment.
I like the dynamic of Bud and Seth much like the movie Bright and Hitman Bodyguard. The action is also great albeit some wonky cgi here and there but it is fast and there's some actual choreo into it. The ridiculousness adds the fun like those Fast Furious where some scenes are just over the top but that's the point of it. Can't help but laugh because it's so stupid especially how non chalant most of the characters are or even the situation is.
The premise isn't anything new. They did add some of their vampire lore in there but it barely scratched the surface to warrant an applause.
Anyhow they didn't skimp on the gore. Snoop Dogg scenes. All scenes of Seth. Those are pluses for me. And I was entertained. Brain off movie.

This is exactly the type of Friday genre-flicks I want Netflix to be making
silly ridiculous humor + stylish vampire hunting action = max fun 🎃💀
P. S. would make a perfect double feature with 2011 Fright Night.

...Snoop & Jamie in one movie AND killing vampires - what else do you need? Who cares about the plot or anything else.
Add the great soundtrack and really well done fight scene with some innovative takes, which is really hard to do these days, when you mostly have the feeling that you have watched every fighting move possible. Great entertainment!

It must now have been long enough that the 90s action films are considered "classics" as this is one of those good time movies that could have been released in 1996 alongside From Dusk Till Dawn... Although I just don't think the professional screen writers are currently hitting the mark... I mean we have the technology... Unsane was filmed on an iPhone 6 a few years back...!!! But it all comes down the story, great actors and directors can't really fix that...?!!
I wish more studios, like this film however, were not afraid to give a good new action flick an R18+ Rating so the action can be turned up to 11... It wastes no time setting up the premise and utilises CGI to enhance the creature effects and action sequences well.
It's not a perfect film by any means... But it knows what it is trying to be... the story, the dialogue and the writing in general are average. But you do get... Crazy characters, a good guy trying to make ends meet, some comedy and lead character banter, Just some 'ol B-grade good fun really...
It's a shame though, just like with 'Night Teeth' or 'Project Power' the potential is there... But we end up with a fairly generic throwaway action comedy...

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAll the contortionist vampires were hired performers from live shows like Cirque du Soleil. This was a way to not only show a different type of vampire, but provide jobs for performers who were out of work due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
- GoofsIn a scene where Audrey (Karla Souza) is walking past a real estate sign, it reads "Viva La Valle". It should say "Viva El Valle". In Spanish, La (The) is feminine and Valle (Valley) is masculine. This is a very common misuse of the word "la" in Hollywood movies or TV shows.
