This movie was unexpectedly funny and gross. I thought it was going to be a horror style movie but it was comedy horror. The funny part is, it's so true. I've worked in an office for many years and the fact is, it drives you crazy. What could be funnier than the office dork chasing you for $20? It happens every week. The hidden affairs, ridiculous callous management, all true. The security guard scenes are funny. I love the Joey Kern actor guy, he is funny. There's no lame nudity or any lame jokes. Other highlights - the angry HR lady that is dating the main character, how the manager hits on her and she is blatantly revolted. Well done to the creators of this.

Not going to give a long review here.The movie delivers what it's supposed to deliver. Cheap jokes and a predictable storyline. Nothing is a surprise, but in this case I actually enjoyed it. Good Sunday movie when you feel like clearing your mind before the next week and just enjoy a little humor. The characters where alright, even though the main characters was far to weak in my opinion (even though I love the actor from his roll in The Doll House). But I guess that was what they were going for. Unfortunately it got quite annoying.The movie was fine, I enjoyed it but you can't expect the highest quality movie or you'll be disappointed.

In the same vein as horror comedies such as Shaun of the Dead, Bloodsucking Bastards tries to deliver laughs and scares but unfortunately fails to bring either to the table.From the beginning you can see exactly what the movie is trying to achieve. An overworked underdog is put into a situation where he has to overcome monsters, get the girl, and avoid impending death. This much is readily Apparent in the trailer and is an easy enough story line to follow for a fun B movie. Unfortunately... you have to care about the characters to actually pull off that story line.The comedic timing is off, and many of the characters are extremely unlikable, which can work in some cases, but in this case just doesn't due to the poor character development and the timing of the jokes.I would say, stream this if you're bored, but don't plan a night around it or buy it.

This mix of vampire comedy and daily life trudge can feel imbalanced sometimes. It's a pretty straightforward story with the usual good guy in work environment, his less productive buddies and the disgruntled love of his life. Then it adds literally gallons of corny bloody spectacle. While it may not open with much glee, the unworldly struggle towards the end proves to be ludicrously amusing.Fran Kranz, the same guy from The Cabin in the Woods, plays as Evan, a hard working employee of a company that doesn't appreciate him enough. Instead of being promoted, he finds himself in the verge of losing his job and also probably his life as supernatural forces begin to influence the company. The movie makes fun of its characters in highly self-deprecating manner, definitely not your usual troupe to fight the undead.There's an underlying analogy of dutifully working for scraps, which isn't polished enough at first. The fun starts as these mostly incompetent characters have to face not only their dreadful job, but the titular bloodsucking foes. It produces a hectic cynical parody that gets better as more blood is spilled.Script is well written enough to be identifiable and the delivery from actors is often openly mocking both real as well as nocturnal life. There are lots of visual cues involved, which may be over-the-top yet strangely effectively humorous. Its pace and editing slightly resembles Shaun of the Dead, both have dead-pan sarcastic delivery of dreadful situation.At the beginning the movie feels incessantly rude and a tad outdated, although there's enough comical content in latter half to raise the enjoyment from its stiff opening.
