I never had great appreciation on Jason Mewes stoned characters even if they are fun to watch; but this time is a clean person, full of personality issues though. In any case he delivers a solid, sometimes funny and sometimes sad performance as a paramedic in personal crisis. It is a pity that Erica Cox (aside from an excellent body, generously shown), is not capable of any acting; otherwise this will be an above average; almost very good movie.
Jack (Mewes), a paramedic in the middle of a live crisis (his fiancée betrayed him and his life goes nowhere) finds Danika (Cox), a beautiful soon-to-become vampire and decides to protect her while falling for her. The vampire, of course needs to feed very often and her tastes are expensive in terms of human lives.
The budget is minimal; most of the action occurs inside Jack's apartment and the all but the three characters existed to become food.
However, there is a rather cruel portrait of middle to low class society hidden before the surface. People passing through life; completely dehumanized and selfish with no moral values. Jack had refused to return his fiancée her stuff; because he is a fetish and also as a way to get her back; however when Danike kills her; he gets very happy because she cheated on him. Jack's best friend Roger is only concerned about sex and has no respect people or privacy. Jack neighbors' are drug dealers or miserable people. With this kind of twisted people around; the vampire feels almost natural.
It is really sad the movie never goes beyond the light satire. An interested and very dark comedy could come out of that with just a little touching on the story and a stricter actor's direction.
