This Dutchman looks terrible

There are bright spots, though. I actually liked the concept of a vampire civilization and how that would function on a day-to-day basis, especially the way the "normal" vampires look down on the mutated ones. It’s like they’re saying, "We’re a hundred times better than these animals." You could easily draw a parallel to what happens to our own society once we run out of the resources we depend on and see how "civilized" we really are.
But that’s it. They had one solid idea and then decided to murder it with weak plots, bland characters, and cringey dialogue. And I have to admit, they pulled it off perfectly. ☕

Rating 4/10

Totally agree. The premise is pretty original and could have been developed much more intelligently. Unfortunately, about 20 minutes in, it falls right into the trap of a standard B-horror. A genuinely interesting, provocative film was right there for the taking, and they completely blew it.

I have this friend dealing with a guy who’s basically had a total mental breakdown, and now he’s constantly acting like some kind of loser who doesn't deserve her. It’s not even a "it's not you, it's me" breakup situation because he’s still leaving the door wide open—he just won't stop preaching about how she deserves someone way better because she's so smart and amazing and whatever. She's head over heels for him and can't wrap her head around why he's being so incredibly insecure. She’s told him a million times that she loves him exactly as he is and doesn't want anyone else, but he's just obsessed with this idea that he's a failure because everything in his life is hitting the fan right now. What do you guys think about this mindset? Is there any way she can get him to snap out of it? I’ve never dealt with anything like this, so I’m totally lost on what to tell her.

She can't. It has to come from within. I don't know what he's dealing with, but clearly whatever it is has completely gutted his confidence. He’s the only one who can fix that. If your friend actually cares about him, she needs to back off and give him some space to sort through his own mess.

I was actually hoping Mali would pull something off, but looking at the group they're stuck in, I'm not holding my breath.

Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Mali all stuck in the same group? If these idiots actually had enough sense to give us a real update on this, I wouldn't be stuck watching the damn Wigan and Middlesbrough matches every single week...
