Good Movie -- Not What You Expect ! ! !

I landed on this movie by mistake actually, started watching because the remote wasn't near me and I had things on my lap that prevented me from getting up to change the channel. I'm glad I didn't ... here's why:

For die hard vampire fans or horror flick fans this may be too light weight for you, but since I'm not a follower of the genre that would be up to you. This film is a really good film in my opinion. I kept watching at first because I wanted to see Kevin Dillion -- who turns out to be really quite good. I think the movie is supposed to be scary, but it seems to be done tongue in cheek -- I found myself laughing at times which is good for me since I'm not real into being scared myself. So, I enjoyed this about the movie. The storyline had a few turns that were unexpected and definitely kept me watching.

So, I'd say it's a keeper. Whether for a comedy for a horror flick I'm not quite sure which to put it under. And the funny thing is I say that in a good way. It was quite enjoyable and I'd even say that I'd watch it again. I hope more people post opinions so I can come back and read what others had to say about the movie. Enjoy - I hope.
