Summer of Blood (2014)
Monumentally lazy, socially oblivious and commitment-shy Erik Sparrow is dumped by his career-woman girlfriend when he rejects her rather charitable marriage proposal. Feeling lost, he turns to a disastrous string of online dates that successively eat away at his already-deteriorating confidence until a lanky vampire turns him into an undead ladykiller. Soon, Eric is prowling the streets of Brooklyn in search of anything to satisfy both his maniacal sex drive and his hunger for blood.

    Good fun

    Great fun. Got not too much to add to the other reviews but I thought I would add a good one to balance out the humour failures from the 'auteur director expert' ones. I enjoyed the dialogue which appeared to be add libbing. OK nothing too original as far as plot was concerned but snappy dialogue and no holds barred on what a sad bunch of w anchors we men are. Considering what high ratings some of the god awful blockbusters get on IMDb this nice little indie deserves more appreciation and a wider audience. It may not be Brain Dead but I enjoyed it far more than Prometheus, which I watched last night on double speed. With its rent-a-plot full of holes and the cast of stereotypes. Will now get Onur Tukel's next movie Applesauce to watch.

    Wretched hipster vampire effort

    Never satisfied with his existence, a chubby, pessimistic loser soon finds everything turned upside down when he becomes a vampire only to realize not everything has changed for the better and tries to find a way of coping with the situation.

    For the most part this here was a big waste of time. This here mostly stems from the fact that we spend so much time with the main lead here that it soon becomes tiresome listening to such inane, pathetic drivel that is forced into this one. Being a self-centered, immature hipster who can't go more than five seconds without railing vitriol on anything and everything around him, from why he doesn't want to marry his girlfriend then trying to keep her when she shows interest in another person who genuinely likes her, being completely indifferent to his job or to the apartment where he lives or even to the dates he goes on with other women, it all basically ends in idiosyncratic rants designed to be some sort of genius look at the world but are instead pessimistic, ill- formed and completely debatable points that turn him into the most unlikable person in the world. Just by being quirky he thinks this is the coolest point ever, causing him to utilize this facet for the remainder of his screen-time that it just grows more and more pretentious as time goes on and there's nothing here that's all too enjoyable to sit through with such a self-absorbed and delusional figure that's meant to be a likable lead here. As an added chip against this, the endless complaining and posturing does nothing for the film's pace here which is so bland and languid that there's literally nothing on- screen for two-thirds of the movie, even after he's changed as he goes around in more of his delusion ranting about his change that despite hooking back up with the spurned dates he previously went on and managed to get them to sleep with him in that condition when he hasn't changed from what made them rightfully reject him to begin with is so inconceivable that it takes the viewer right out of the film and reminds us all of it being a vanity project where such a completely misguided, utterly worthless condescending jerk would be able to pull off what happens here which is played off as newfound confidence but isn't in the slightest bit true of anything other than pretentious nonsense. It's just so hard to get anything out of this that despite a few decent bloodletting scenes along the way as he tries to adapt to the change here, from the alleyway attack on the college student and the main sequence of him biting each of the dates one-by-one while sleeping with them gives this one some messy blood-letting from time-to-time here, but it's all mostly undone by the film's meager budget which restricts the vampire notion to simply his contact lenses as there's barely any fangs on display or other such powers featured here. On the whole this one was beyond worthless.

    Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Nudity and strong sexual scenes.

    What did I just watch?

    Nothing happens for the first 30 minutes. Then something happens. Then nothing happens for the rest of the movie.

    You know how people say that's the worst movie I've ever seen? Well this isn't that. This movie is just boring. There is way too much dialogue, way way too much. It's also not funny. Even worse, I am inclined to say it's not a horror movie. It's this guy (bleeping) off in a bathroom to a fantasy of making a comedy horror and then doing neither.

    Anti-hipster satire needs a lot more bite

    I must have watched a completely different movie from the other reviewer, but I could not stand this film. The main character is so abominably unlikable and annoying that it's hard to see the point - sure, pretentious hipster wastrels are a reasonable target for satire, but you have to let us out of his insufferable orbit a bit or else we can't breathe. And when the movie's plot (such as it is) centers around this schlub's relationship with his girlfriend, an attractive, up-and-coming lawyer, it robs that plot of any motive power when we can't figure out why anyone, let alone her, would be with this guy. Agonizing to get through.

    Okay movie ruined by horrible main character

    Imagine all the horrible characteristics of everybody you ever knew, put into this one despicable person. And the movie revolves around him. Within the first 20 words he spoke I wanted him to die really horrible. The other actors and the crew were good enough. The blood fx and all were really awesome. Just this one charater turned a 7 star movie into a 4 star movie.
