Bloodsucking Bastards is a movie you’ll like if you like movies titled Bloodsucking Bastards. Starring that neurotic dude from Cabin in the Woods and about a couple office workers who realize that their colleagues are being turned into vampires by their new corporate overlords, the movie is a mindlessly entertaining and cheaply gory comedy-thriller that is exactly what the filmmakers intended it to be.

Full of sharp-though-not-quite-intelligent dialogue and Edgar Wright-wannabe quick cuts, Bloodsucking Bastards isn’t exactly an accomplishment of film. But it lives up to its title, adequately delivering running jokes that do eventually pay off and introducing a band of likably idiotic characters that are more than charming enough to be solid protagonists (or antagonists).

The concept is silly from beginning to end and no one involved in the film is kidding themselves that it’s anything but. Fran Kranz (that neurotic dude from Cabin in the Woods) is highly entertaining, and Joey Kern does a terrific job as his office buddy. Pedro Pascal, fresh of having his head crushed like a watermelon in “Game of Thrones,” hams it up just fine as the primary villain.

Working off what must be a miniscule budget (despite featuring more than a couple recognizable faces, even if a few are nothing more than cameos), the filmmakers appear to have spent most of their money on exploding blood bags—once the vampires start dying, they literally explode, shooting blood everywhere. The movie is so low-budget few vampire deaths are even shown on screen, but the resulting bloodbaths are effective nonetheless.

Bloodsucking Bastards is dumb but entertaining, witty while stupid. But if you were intrigued by the title of this movie, that’s probably a sign you’ll find something to sink your fangs into here.
