Call it a quaint vampire movie from Canada, simply because it its. In 1969, during the moon landing, Boya, a Canadian vampire, decides to sleep...for 25 years. Some dork with the worst slice in golf is whacking balls around and conks him on the head, waking him. After scrounging for some rats blood to snack on, he decides to rejoin society. Once he finds a crappy apartment and a donut shop, he starts to slowly gain some life back in his undead ass.
After befriending a cabbie and donut shop maiden, it somehow becomes a Canadian Mob story-line involving David Cronenberg. Man, even the mob is super nice. It's hard to take them serious despite the baseball bats and dinky little gun.
Sadly, the story line isn't really that interesting. We've seen this before. The action is low, the horror is very mild, and there's a defibrillator scene that is unrealistic as hell, and the characters are as deep as a wading pool. It's billed as a 'comedy horror', but even the laughs are light. But strangely, I liked it. It's hard not to like anything Canadian.
Sunday: 4 more to go?!? Man....still better than puppets....
