Snarky horror-comedy that tries to blend the vibes of "Office Space" and "From Dusk 'Till Dawn" but doesn't quite have the wit or skill to pull it off. The comedy isn't as flat as the generic action sequences even if it goes mostly for good-natured laughs that lack, shall we say, the bite one might want from a vampire comedy. Too many of the cast members (especially Joey Kern and Pedro Pascal) are stuck doing shtick that seems like it could be thrown into any number of stories or sketches -- only Marshall Givens as a caffeine-fueled security guard and the underused Sean Cowhig as Jerry the Janitor manage to bring some spark of specificity to their roles. I wouldn't question the taste or sanity of anyone who enjoyed this film more than I did -- it isn't an abject failure -- but if you want to see Fran Kranz in a far superior example of comedic horror (one that actually doesn't forget it's a horror film), watch "Cabin in the Woods."
