Summary
A vampire, played by Naomi McDougall Jones, and her IRS auditor, played by Christian Coulson, fall in love.
Surprisingly, I thought this was both a good vampire film as well as a touching romantic comedy. Often horror romance films are difficult to land, Life After Beth, did a good job of it, but many others have tried and failed, this however, gets it right.
I really enjoyed the absurdity of the premise, a vampire who gets audited and then falls in love. The very idea makes me laugh. Moreover, I enjoyed the rom-com elements and thought that the two leads had great chemistry together and became more and more of a believable couple as the film progressed.
As far as it being a vampire film, it certainly fell more into the comedy horror sub-genre than anything more hardcore. There certainly is What We Do In The Shadows vibes here, and these are used to great effect for a number of good jokes and set ups.
Overall, a lovely, refreshingly original film.
Pros.
It is funny
It is sweet
I enjoy what they do with the vampire element
The leads have good chemistry
Cons.
Minor pacing issues
