| THE REVIEW Okay, Before viewing this film I had read mixed reviews, most of which were bad. I went into this movie open minded as I was prepared to give this a decent chance. The story revolves around a boyband with a secret, the secret is they are nocturnal and enjoy the taste of blood. They also tend to kill when they don't get their way. I am being honest here that is the story! It has to be one of the most silly and stupidest stories i've heard in years. It turns out that these young men in the boy band lead by Jeremy Jackson of Baywatch....yes I said Baywatch, have spent years killing off other bands of the past, and stealing their identities. So now we have 3 hopefuls in the running to be this group's lead singer. It turns out that one is actually an undercover journalist, trying to uncover dirt on the band....lets just say he doesn't get far. The next is an African American geltleman that has all the right moves the band is looking for. All of the band agrees on this except one who seems to have racial issues. And lastly we have a young man.(even though he is probably in his 30s playing a teenager) that was prompted to audition by his Girlfriend Stacy played by the beautiful Ryan Starr. Ryan is the only reason I kept interest eventhough I was urged to stop the insanity and turn the movie off. Another thing is that all the cast members wear Von Dutch clothing.....EVERYONE, it makes me wonder if Von Dutch actually funded this movie?? Oh Paris Hilton, you started a terrible trend! This movie is truly ridiculous to me, it's a wonder why a veteran like Adrienne Barbeau would choose to partake in a film like this. The reason why this got not one, but two stars from me is the fact that I laughed my ass off in disbelief the whole entire movie....it should be labeled as comedy. And honorable mention goes to Ryan Starr. |

| GORE
METER 1/10 totally lame make-up and the blood looked like tomato soup, or even cherry Kool-Aid |

| MUSICAL
SCORE 2 out of 10 .... Some techno music, and some rather nerve-racking boy band garbage that makes N Sync or The Backstreet Boys, look like the Beatles. |

IMPRESSION OF THE FILM This film is simply a waste of one's time and energy to sit through. It is truly like a well educated 50 year old man watching an episode of "Barney the Dinosaur". It was an insult to my intelligence, I am rather let down as I was expecting a fun film, with this one...that is prior to knowing about the whole boy band thing, or anything else. The cover doesn't even suggest that it's about a boy band, even the back of it says "BAND" and boy band doesn't actually make them one. |
