This was obviously a low-budget movie. I say this because there are frequent continuity issues (peculiar silences and editing) that look like the film needed final touching up before releasing.
I have no problem with this, since I tend to focus on the story and the acting. I liked the story, since it had an interesting premise: in a small city, a real vampire, "Vanessa." is working at a blood bank, and a wanna-be vampire, "Bento," works in a comic book store. Both of them drain bodies of blood, but of course the wanna-be vampire has to use needles. Curiously, they both leave their victims in trash bags at the same part of the city dump, so the police are coming over every over evening and discover new corpses! As luck would have it, the real vampire lives next door to the main detective working on this case; they soon get chummy. And both the real vampire and the wanna-be vampire go to the hardware store at the exact same time to buy more trash bags for their victims.
Things are coming together and we are soon going to find out who gets out of this alive!
I give this movie five stars. I enjoyed it.

I saw this movie just last night. It was filmed with no-name actors primarily in one location. Clearly, it was done on a shoe-string budget.
I think that, based on what they had available, they did a wonderful job. It was suspenseful and scary at points. I especially enjoyed how they portrayed the sinister bad guy who had some serious personality problems. We don't get the full story on the guy, but enough to appreciate what a total creep he is.
In many ways, this story was tighter (76 minutes) and better made than many million-dollar productions out there.
I truly hope to see these actors in future films!
