1/10
Orson Welles, he aint.

From the plot alone, it sounds well worth renting. Midget vampires seek the sword that contains a jewel that contains the blood of the last tall vampire, so as to make some tall vampires. On their trail is a half-breed vampire and his trusty midget sidekick.

What could possibly go bad with a plot like that? Everything. No one in this film has ever taken an acting class. No one involved in this film knows anything about production. A guy had a camcorder and some little friends, and made a movie. You can't hear what they're saying half the time, but even if you could, the main character is trying so hard to be Blade that it's really just pathetic. I was never under the impression that any of the vampires were dangerous. I never cared about the characters. What characters? Exactly. The director/actor fellow Adam Minarovich should really take a class or something. But why should he? We all rented this pile of tripe! But seriously -- the sound and camera work are horrible. It brings embarrassment to an otherwise quality plotline. (And that bad Blade accent doesn't help.)

This movie could have been Reptilicus or Terror Toons amusing. But instead, it's disappointing on an I-got-socks-instead-of-a-pony-for-my-birthday scale.
