Commentary:
Dialogue: Badly written and poorly delivered . . . butpretty entertaining at 2 am.
Vampires: Traditional or Not? Well, she’s female. Andshe likes to take her blood from the inner thigh, NOT the neck. “Button-biting” is also a passion.
Vampires: Physical Appeal: If you find a gap-toothed vampattractive, this is your show. She’s an undead Jezebel.
Gore Factor: Not gory at all; even the thigh-biting doesn’tyield any blood.
Scariness/Suspense: Not. Not scary, not suspenseful,and not funny. Most importantly, NOT entertaining.
Target Audience: Even Jim Carrey groupies (the morons)might want to think twice.
