I think this movie is geared to a specific audience and isn't something anyone would just go watch. I do like the documentary-style it was shot in and the interesting twist with the vampires.

This is awesome, I'm so tired of lame vampires, like in Twilight. It's about time we have some sexy rocker vampires instead, the story line is so original and fun.

Nice! A faux-documentary. The band members are very convincing. Loved where it was going in the beginning, but once the gore and vampire stuff started I felt disappointed.

Thanks for the review Theo. I wasn't sure about the original concept but (like us) as your mission videos are released Im beginning to see, that in your category, you absolutely fucking slay. Good luck and see you in the top 10.

I like metal and I like movies about dudes in metal bands doing ridiculous things, but I feel like you could have built the band up a little more, made them feel like something as iconic as you seemed to want to present them as. I was a little apprehensive over the vampire thing but then again, I also like its relation to the play on words in the band name/film title. Gonna watch this and see where you guys take it.

First of all I love nice work on looking like a convincing scab group of rockers - I bought it all...

Second I'm actually intrigued to see how this pans out. Get some CGI dudes in there & some sick make up wizardry and do the full short. The concept surely deserves the shot to develop the idea further and moreover - let's watch this gang of misfits thrash some guitars and eat some fans in the process. I'll put up my new Dinky Dawgs shop in Granville Station as a location - it's yours guys. lol

Lastly, any band with two head banging Chinese dudes is hilarious to me. Funny shit.
