Bloodsucking Bastards (2015)

best movie i've ever seen.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Tired of working in a dead-end job, a man slowly comes to realize that the fellow workers are slowly being turned into vampires by his new boss and must rally the remaining unturned workers who believe him and stop the vampires from taking over their job.This here was a somewhat problematic though really fun effort. What really turns this one down is the fact that there's just not a whole lot of the film that really makes it appealing which comes from the fact that it's mainly about the most unappealing cast ever. The fact that this one concerns the group who are adamantly against their career goals who turn everything into a party at their job and are absolutely complacent in their desire to slag off their work in favor of goofing on each other which doesn't make them all that appealing as their do-anything-but-their-job mentality doesn't make them engaging. The bonding nature of their attitudes towards each other and the rather generalized working-place humor featured here aren't that funny and they just tend to go for so long that this section is just not that funny in the slightest. Even with the utterly goofy way it goes about trying to show them stumbling along with the discovery of what's going on doesn't really generate the real kind of laughs it should as the concept here could've provided this one with a great deal more zany comedy had this part here been fixed. Still, there's quite a lot of enjoyable elements present here with quite some good points to it. One of the main pluses is that once it turns into a funny turn with the comedy there's a rather great deal more energy to come from this one which picks up significantly as the group finally understands their predicament with the vampires finally coming to task and really generating more goofy set-ups of them going after them. The action in the final half where they go into the backstory of having to replay the events in motion which alerts them to vampires being there and then have to fight their way through the horde working in the building and gets up to the really impressive fight in the main floor against the head vampire which generates a ton of fun bloodletting amidst the generous action that is still gloriously goofy and silly while still being serious enough to be scary enough. Given the boost from the early build-up scenes that set the stage for these scenes, that really helps this scenes work even better with that continuing in the same manner of having the comedy sitting alongside the horror and gives this a big boost during this half which does help to overcome the rather banal setup in the first half. That is what really holds this one back during the film.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

This alleged comedy horror – meekly retitled from Bloodsucking Bastards – begins as an Office Space wannabe white collar satire and ends up painting the workspace red. The Cabin in the Woods' Fran Kanz plays Evan, acting sales manager at a company which is purportedly a drab place to work even though its employees are able to play video games and watch porn at their desks. Evan has recently screwed things up with the hot HR manager, Amanda (Emma Fitzpatrick). He's mercilessly mocked by his smartass colleagues, including best bud Tim (Joey Kern). The banter reaches breaking point when a git from high school, Max (Pedro Pascal), waltzes in and steals Evan's promotion. But there's more to Max than meets the eye. Turns out he's planning to create a vampire army out of the office staff. Can Evan and co wield chair leg stakes and save the day?With its high concept promise it goes out of its way to be liked, but even as a basic concept the movie doesn't work. If the plan is to farm a staff that will function without free will, why crazed vampires and not docile zombies?The try-hard attitude is evident from the first abrasive note of the techno-inflected opening credits and continues right through to the end, a long 80 minutes later. The bleak, fluorescent-lit office has been satirically explored so many times now that smug bosses shooting finger guns or stony faces listening to elevator muzak just isn't funny anymore. The script from first-time writer Ryan Mitt is a cringer. If you're not on board straight away with the juvenile quickfire banter then this isn't the film for you. When it's not being cruel (the fat girl in the office is bullied, pure and simple) it's insufferably sarcastic in the least appealing internet forum manner: equal doses mocking and macho and inane. You know when guys in real life make each other laugh and then one of them suggests they should write a sitcom? This is what happens. The lack of sincerity and conviction is fatal. There are good self- referential meta-horrors around (indeed, when we glimpse Matthew Lillard late on, we're reminded of a great one from 20 years ago), but this isn't one of them. Between the bland and claustrophobic camera-work and the scrappy editing, we get no laughs or scares, and the occasional decent prosthetics can't make amends for the lack of inventiveness. Remember those great slapstick action scenes from Edgar Wright's Three Cornettos trilogy? Yeah, you'll be remembering them as you stare blankly at the dullness unfolding in the final act. It's an absolute horror show, and not in a good way. Avoid.

Not going to give a long review here.The movie delivers what it's supposed to deliver. Cheap jokes and a predictable storyline. Nothing is a surprise, but in this case I actually enjoyed it. Good Sunday movie when you feel like clearing your mind before the next week and just enjoy a little humor. The characters where alright, even though the main characters was far to weak in my opinion (even though I love the actor from his roll in The Doll House). But I guess that was what they were going for. Unfortunately it got quite annoying.The movie was fine, I enjoyed it but you can't expect the highest quality movie or you'll be disappointed.

Snarky horror-comedy that tries to blend the vibes of "Office Space" and "From Dusk 'Till Dawn" but doesn't quite have the wit or skill to pull it off. The comedy isn't as flat as the generic action sequences even if it goes mostly for good-natured laughs that lack, shall we say, the bite one might want from a vampire comedy. Too many of the cast members (especially Joey Kern and Pedro Pascal) are stuck doing shtick that seems like it could be thrown into any number of stories or sketches -- only Marshall Givens as a caffeine-fueled security guard and the underused Sean Cowhig as Jerry the Janitor manage to bring some spark of specificity to their roles. I wouldn't question the taste or sanity of anyone who enjoyed this film more than I did -- it isn't an abject failure -- but if you want to see Fran Kranz in a far superior example of comedic horror (one that actually doesn't forget it's a horror film), watch "Cabin in the Woods."
