A guy goes home with an attractive woman believing he's found himself a casual hookup.
What is this? OMG. I like Justin Long but I don't want to watch him rambling, at times incoherently, for nearly 90 minutes. There's so little dialogue that all you hear is him trying to carry the whole weight of the movie on his shoulders while the rest of the cast asked stupid, repetitive questions and stares at him. It was a bit ridiculous. The story is so obvious. You know where this is heading in the first five minutes. It's not very creative or interesting.
I made it through the whole film but this just turned out to be a flop for me. It's not something that I'm gonna be hyping up.

Really?
Who wrote this dialogue
We just tried to watch this movie. Whoever wrote this dialog clearly has never interacted with real humans. 20 minutes in and Justin Long's character was so unlikeable with the ceaseless rambling that we gave up. There was zero action or anything compelling to hook someone in. This would probably be suited best as a low budget play instead of a movie. The preview to the film was intriguing but if you can't hook an audience in the first 20 min of an hour and a half film the entire script needs to be rewritten. Overall I will give this a one star for the reimagining premise but sadly cannot give it any more than that.
Surprise... there is no surprise!
The actors give this their all, but really this is just a slow and predictable ride to a dull payoff. Starts off fine with some fun interplay and dialogue between Long and Bosworth. Becomes less interesting as more characters are introduced. Within 20 minutes, I suppose that there may be 6 or 7 people in the world who don't understand that this doofus is spending the night with vampires. If you're not getting it after the characters identify themselves by name, you're just not into vampire movies. Because I liked the actors well enough, I was willing to finish this in the hopes of a twist ending...
Well.. NO!
