The film revolves around an office worker in a company that appears to still be facing fear for more than his job. He faces a terrifying path, with strange disappearances and strange deaths indicating that the office has become a place for a strange group of people.
I'm forgiving of DIY productions that work without much of a bottom line, but there are some basic film techniques that still need to be considered, and don't cost a dime.
Brian James O'Connel's Bloodsucking Bastards is a corporate comedy where the new-hires are also vampires, but remain, for all the occasional big-stake takeovers or explosions of blood, more like metaphors for a certain model of middle management.
A mash-up of Office Space & Fright Night, BB takes some time to get going but when it does, the jokes fly almost as fast as the gore, resulting in a feel-good film that's a wonderful tribute to vampires & raucously deconstructs the modern workplace.
Bloodsucking Bastards is the workplace comedy you didn't think you needed, boasting a satirical intelligence that's even sharper than its blood-coated fangs.
While it's not offensively violent, it's full of sexist jokes. And while many viewers will be able to relate to jabs at bottom-feeding companies, they'll probably wonder how such a lackluster script ever became a movie.
Bloodsucking Bastards is as juvenile as its title suggests, but with a strong script and a stronger cast, it's also a lot of irreverent, gore tinged fun.
...the film sinks its teeth into toxic elements of office culture, such as the trampling of individuality...or simply how no one ever bothers to learn the janitor's name.
