Dead & Beautiful
Directed by David Verbeek
After a wild night, a group of wealthy young friends wake up from their drunken stupor with a freakish discovery: each of them has grown a pair of fangs – vampire teeth. Bewildered at first, the group realizes they feel stronger and more attractive than ever before. As they strain to make sense of their new situation, they lose themselves in a twisted game of taking their new vampire skills to the streets. In this new kind of nightlife, with the limits of life, love and death greatly blurred, it dawns on the group that they can no longer trust each other. Nobody can be sure of what this vampire business is all about - or, for that matter, if any of this is even real. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL

Nice twist on the theme. A couple of slow spots but, overall, interesting story, artistic production, and good portrayal of "mood."
The first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes are pretty engaging, the problem is the 69 minutes in-between.
I read a spoiler before watching that already explained the ending but everything leading up to that felt like a soap opera to me . It starts off ok but it quickly got dry and pretentiously dull , an interesting take on the vampire genre but I thought the ending was clever and funny it just meanders around alot and was it just me or were they whispering alot lol.
I read a spoiler in a review way down below on accident but it's alright because this wasn't great by any means. I do appreciate the attempt at doing something unique with the vampire genre, it starts out ok kind of kicks off the story with a bang but it gets very dry very quickly. I feel like it turns into somewhat of a soap opera feel, I actually thought the ending was clever and funny and I feel bad for rating it this low I just really didn't like it very much unfortunately. I'm happy I saw some beautiful Asian women and some cool scenery of Japan though!!
Dead & boring
