I started watching because the title and synopsis sounded interesting. I had to keep watching as it was such an odd spectacle. This movie has no climatic storyline, unless you count the last 15 minutes. But even then...it's pretty far fetched with no lead up. Some scenes used altering filters to portray a different time of day although shadows can be seen. And the low budget musical scenes were off putting. Transition scenes seemed almost like stock footage. I will admit there were some small giggles. Overall, this was just a really odd low budget film. Interesting but very odd. I wouldn't pay to watch it.

A bewildering take on the vampire genre
gwynmoses13 October 2021
As an independent, low budget Scottish film it combined dramatic and stunning scenery with a style that could only be described as deliberately over the top and hammy. At least, I assume it was deliberate as otherwise it would be the equivalent of second rate regional amateur repertory theatre played to half empty village halls in places such as Scunthorpe and Whitehaven.
I will admit to staring at the screen open mouthed with shock for much of the film, but there was also a family who were rolling about laughing hilariously at some of the humour, from fart scenes reminiscent of Blazing Saddles, to Dracula posing in budgie smugglers. There were also a couple of ill fitting musical numbers including a pastiche of the Time Warp.
Overall there was some reasonable plot and character development and the acting of the girl who played Flora, the undertaker's daughter, stood out because the dialogue was delivered in a natural way rather than hammed up.
I saw this in a small independent cinema so stayed until the end, but it would have been switched off after less than 5 minutes if it was on TV.
