Bloodsucking Bastards (2015) If the film's title Bloodsucking Bastards hasn't given you a clue as to what to expect here then maybe the tagline 'Work it sucks the life out of you' will. Yep, this a vampire comedy horror billed as 'Office Space meets Shaun of the Dead'. By comparing itself to two cult flicks where laughs are high sets an awfully high precedent for director Brian James Connell's movie. It is a level that it fails to reach but that doesn't mean that his premise, where the bosses are literally sucking the staff dry in order to improve a company's performance, is without any charm or fun along the way. It's initially difficult to warm to our lead character Evan (Fran Kranz). He's no Shaun, as in Shaun of the Dead. Sure Shaun is put upon at work, has a slobby best mate and girlfriend issues, but his circumstances are more or believable, and therefore more relatable. Evan is too much of a victim. for the most part, so it's no easy to emphasis with him. Evan has messed up with HR director Amanda (Emma Fitzpatrick), with whom he is romantically entangled, or was until he responded badly to her saying she loved him one evening. Evan finds solace in believing that a forthcoming promotion to Sales Manager will be his only to find it offered to a company outsider. The outsider is smarmy, slimy, slick Max (Pedro Pascal), an old rival of Evan's. No sooner has Max made himself known co-workers start disappearing and/or change into a more aggressive persona with Evan's colleagues slow to pick up on the changes. Obviously filmed on a budget, but filmed and played with enthusiasm and glee, Bloodsucking Bastards overcomes its shaky start - it takes awhile to warm to the characters - and never overplays the vampire angle with puny related puns. Some visual panache is called for rather than the static camera-work on offer and it's also slow in finding its feet. The screenwriters clearly enjoyed dispensing the earlier 'witty' and crude insults, failing to realise that their script works better with the lighter asides - such as colleagues asking what the character Dave actually does each day at work aside from going around telling people they owe him money. Fran Kranz (Evan) will be familiar to genre fans as the stoner from the overrated The Cabin in the Woods however the real stars in Bloodsucking Bastards are Joey Kern, as Evan's laid-back best friend Tim and David F. Park as Dave who seems to have no real function in their workplace. Things get suitably bloody come the climax and the earlier reservations are completely forgotten. Bloodsucking Bastards plays like Shaun of the Dead, albeit with vampires and not zombies, and whilst it's not in the same league is does pick up halfway through and becomes a lot of fun.

Bloodsucking B******s is a 2015 horror comedy about Evan, an employee at a soul-crushing telemarketing job, working with his slacker best friend Tim and his (ex)girlfriend Amanda. However as soon as his nemesis Max receives a promotion Evan was supposed to get strange things begin happening around him: the office gets darker, and coworkers either die or go through personality changes. When it's discovered Max is a vampire who is turning coworkers into the un-dead, it's up to Evan, Tim, Amanda, and security guard Frank to save the office from a a vampire take-over. You're probably wondering why I said that this movie is better than Office Uprising. Well, to put it simply, it's a lot funnier. This film manages to balance comedy and horror excellently. The actors all are excellent, mad props to Joey Kern who steals the show and has some of the best parts. Fran Kranz makes for a likable protagonist, and Pedro Pascal is a great villain, and you definitely want to see him defeated. Plus, the gore is excellent. By the end, all of the characters are covered in blood, and it's a beautiful sight. Plus there are some awesome vampire deaths, but not without some hilarious lines sprinkled in. So yeah, if you liked Deathgasm or Office Uprising I highly recommend this film.

If you work in a corporate environment you will appreciate this very much. I assume the folks who rated low didn't appreciate all the overused office jargon & other Easter eggs. Keep an open mind.

Gory, funny, nice character development, and some action. 'Bloodsucking Bastards' isn't quite on the same level as 'Dead Alive,' or 'Shaun of The Dead,' but you can see the director was probably influenced by both films somewhat. Fran Kranz did a decent job in the lead spot, although I'm not a fan of his. Joey Kern spent most of his time scene stealing, and carrying the film for the most part, along with Marshall Givens, who didn't get nearly enough screen time. The film does a good job with the gore, maybe too excessive at times. The humor of the film solely rides on Kern/Givens, so it's probably not nearly as funny as they were hoping it would be, since Fran Kranz style of humor just flies right over my head. If you're looking for more laughs, look no further than 'What We Do in The Shadows,' which packs a lot more bite. Pun intended. Don't get me wrong, I laughed several times, but there's a handful of other moments during the film, where I thought I should have laughed, but didn't. 'Bloodsucking Bastards' is certainly worth checking out. If you like gore, a little humor, you can do worse. I just thought the film was lacking whenever Joey Kern and Marshall Givens weren't on the screen, which, fortunately, isn't very often. Random Ramblings of a Madman: Fran Kranz belongs on television - he's just not a guy who should be a lead in your film. He's the best friend of the lead in your film. Basically, he's a supporting actor, best forgotten about once the credits start to roll. 'Bloodsucking Bastards' is a nice effort, and an enjoyable one time viewing.

Meh! I didn't hate this movie but nowhere in the movie I burst out laughing or thought "wow that was a good one" when it came to dialogs or action. And this movie really tries VERY hard to be funny and clever. I enjoyed it but in the end, the vampires are generic, action is boring, protagonist is boring and so is the main villain. I guess the only interesting characters were the side characters.. but not that much. I liked the bloody kills, they were funny, but everything else during action was boring. Vampires themselves are the generic types you see in average vampire shows like Buffy or Angel. Nothing new going on with vampire lore, definitely nothing new going on with the office setting. In the end, it isn't a bad movie. I wasn't bored. I just wasn't entertained enough.

British title - Bloodsucking Bosses. Now I would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch a single episode of TV comedy The Office, so right off the bat this was unlikely to appeal to me. I found the humour just annoying and could have happily skipped the first 45 silly minutes. Then horror things start to happy in the form of vampires but too late in my opinion. I appreciate that many found this funny but I didn't, it just sucked.

This alleged comedy horror – meekly retitled from Bloodsucking Bastards – begins as an Office Space wannabe white collar satire and ends up painting the workspace red. The Cabin in the Woods' Fran Kanz plays Evan, acting sales manager at a company which is purportedly a drab place to work even though its employees are able to play video games and watch * at their desks. Evan has recently screwed things up with the hot HR manager, Amanda (Emma Fitzpatrick). He's mercilessly mocked by his smartass colleagues, including best bud Tim (Joey Kern). The banter reaches breaking point when a git from high school, Max (Pedro Pascal), waltzes in and steals Evan's promotion. But there's more to Max than meets the eye. Turns out he's planning to create a vampire army out of the office staff. Can Evan and co wield chair leg stakes and save the day? With its high concept promise it goes out of its way to be liked, but even as a basic concept the movie doesn't work. If the plan is to farm a staff that will function without free will, why crazed vampires and not docile zombies? The try-hard attitude is evident from the first abrasive note of the techno-inflected opening credits and continues right through to the end, a long 80 minutes later. The bleak, fluorescent-lit office has been satirically explored so many times now that smug bosses shooting finger guns or stony faces listening to elevator muzak just isn't funny anymore. The script from first-time writer Ryan Mitt is a cringer. If you're not on board straight away with the juvenile quickfire banter then this isn't the film for you. When it's not being cruel (the fat girl in the office is bullied, pure and simple) it's insufferably sarcastic in the least appealing internet forum manner: equal doses mocking and macho and inane. You know when guys in real life make each other laugh and then one of them suggests they should write a sitcom? This is what happens. The lack of sincerity and conviction is fatal. There are good self- referential meta-horrors around (indeed, when we glimpse Matthew Lillard late on, we're reminded of a great one from 20 years ago), but this isn't one of them. Between the bland and claustrophobic camera-work and the scrappy editing, we get no laughs or scares, and the occasional decent prosthetics can't make amends for the lack of inventiveness. Remember those great slapstick action scenes from Edgar Wright's Three Cornettos trilogy? Yeah, you'll be remembering them as you stare blankly at the dullness unfolding in the final act. It's an absolute horror show, and not in a good way. Avoid.

I was actually going to rate it 7/10 until Matthew Lillard cameo. Up until that point it was still very good, but the horror part was trailing behind comedy. Lillard by himself is worth at least extra rating point for every film he was ever in. But then it all comes together and its satisfactory experience. Which, for a B movie is great for me as I am type that tends to rate stuff low, especially if its too hyped up and loaded with fake reviews. This is a kind of movie you keep to use for a first date, especially if you, like me, have average of 3-5 first dates a week. And if you ever worked with or in boiler room telemarketing operation, there are few scenes that are pure comedy gold. Do yourself a favor and see this movie. Either with a date who has sense of humor, or with friends and a pizza.
