      Bert: Hey, did you know the fake blood is mint-flavored?

      Jay: Bert, what did I tell you about eating the props? Now go wash your mouth out with soap. You look like a fucking vampire.

    A delightful film.
    Recommended to any who have a high tolerance for silliness and a sense of humor. Piper proves that one does not need a huge budget or big-name actors to make an excellent movie. It's not exactly high drama, but if you go to this movie expecting to laugh you will not be disappointed.
