Lands well as both comedy and horror


Very funny, very bloody Irish vampire comedy-horror (and probably pretty close to how most of us would actually react in the circumstances!). Plays out like a comedy version of Salem's Lot (vampire starts to infest small out-of-the-way town, small pocket of resistance fighters gradually whittled down). No big names, but some very good performances (Nigel O'Neill and Jack Rowan as father and son construction workers leading the fight against the undead are standouts), plus great cinematography, and pretty impressive effects and makeup for what was clearly (but doesn't look like) a low-budget production. Very strong language throughout. 7.5/10.

I second that. I've just finished watching it, and I was pleasantly surprised. 8/10.
