AltAss Ratings (On a scale of 1 to 5 asses)

Plot:                                

Most concepts in these types of movies are not as well thought out and detail oriented as this one.

Writing:                         

Again a much more solid effort than I honestly expected to see here.  The dialogue is sound and the pace is proper.

Acting:                                               

This is the achilles heel of an otherwise well crafted film.  Jason Mewes and Erica Cox are downright dreadful.  Most of their scenes together reminded me of a bad high school play.  What makes things worse is that the supporting cast, led by Richard Fitzpatrick, are so much better than Mewes and Cox it draws even more attention to their poor performances.

Originality:                               

Vampires are very in these days but I did appreciate the attempt at a different idea from the ever present Twilight saga of what a relationship between a vampire and human might look like.

Overall:                       

Tearing my hair out over what could have been if more capable actors had been cast in the lead roles because this film had a lot going for it everywhere else (except the sound track which was one of the worst I've ever heard).
