This film is not a great film. 

Make no mistake about it, this film is a terrible horror film. Not scary in the slightest, not imaginative at all(Well, the ending sort of is) and horribly acted.

So why have I given this a perfect 10/10? It's simple: 

It's bloody hilarious. 

The plot, as it were, revolves around a new guy in town, who seems normal at first, but then the killings start....

The sheer horribleness of it all is so unintentionally funny it's unbelievable. If you watch this film with the intention of being scared, then you will be bitterly disappointed. If you watch it with the intention of having a good laugh at the film's expense, then by all means seek out this film in the bargain buckets.

It's one of those films you will watch with a bunch of friends, all getting the joke and joining in ripping the hell out of it. I realise this is a bit of a harsh review, but if I were the director I would be pleased I had made someone so happy.

A true 'lost classic'. 10/10

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

Some old real estate in town has a new owner...and he's a vampire!!!
