When I selected this movie to watch, I didn't realize that it was going to be five short stories. The first one had quite a bit of potential. It was funny, true to the point and engaging. Rest of the stories went downhill from there. Yeah, as five experimental shorts from budding directors, they all had some thing going for them. Then again, getting vampires and eating blood and flesh takes the eroticism right out of the whole experience. Thanks for that; not what I expected from the title and genre this was listed under.  My Rating: 5.0
