Summer of Blood (2014)

Mr. Sparrow is a loser. He is more or less a sloppy, dirty, and extremely talkative and deranged version of Peter Jackson.But he is never boring. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard watching a vampire movie. This one is excellent. I love the dark humor!There are two types of vampire movies I enjoy. One is dark and serious, like Underworld, and the other is humorous, like this one.Out of the 143 vampire movies I've seen, the following are very good humorous ones I recommend to fans of the genre:Love at first bite 1979 Vampire's kiss 1989 Dracula dead and loving it 1995 Hotel Transylvania 1-2 2012-2015 Vamps 2012 (featuring Sigourney Weaver) Bloodsucking bastards 2015They are all very good humorous vampyre movies.Summer of blood is a pleasant surprise to my collection. It is so exciting, so good and funny!I laughed hard upon hearing lines like "This is what you get for not getting your education..." I might recommend the movie to school dropouts in the future. :)

Never satisfied with his existence, a chubby, pessimistic loser soon finds everything turned upside down when he becomes a vampire only to realize not everything has changed for the better and tries to find a way of coping with the situation.For the most part this here was a big waste of time. This here mostly stems from the fact that we spend so much time with the main lead here that it soon becomes tiresome listening to such inane, pathetic drivel that is forced into this one. Being a self-centered, immature hipster who can't go more than five seconds without railing vitriol on anything and everything around him, from why he doesn't want to marry his girlfriend then trying to keep her when she shows interest in another person who genuinely likes her, being completely indifferent to his job or to the apartment where he lives or even to the dates he goes on with other women, it all basically ends in idiosyncratic rants designed to be some sort of genius look at the world but are instead pessimistic, ill- formed and completely debatable points that turn him into the most unlikable person in the world. Just by being quirky he thinks this is the coolest point ever, causing him to utilize this facet for the remainder of his screen-time that it just grows more and more pretentious as time goes on and there's nothing here that's all too enjoyable to sit through with such a self-absorbed and delusional figure that's meant to be a likable lead here. As an added chip against this, the endless complaining and posturing does nothing for the film's pace here which is so bland and languid that there's literally nothing on- screen for two-thirds of the movie, even after he's changed as he goes around in more of his delusion ranting about his change that despite hooking back up with the spurned dates he previously went on and managed to get them to sleep with him in that condition when he hasn't changed from what made them rightfully reject him to begin with is so inconceivable that it takes the viewer right out of the film and reminds us all of it being a vanity project where such a completely misguided, utterly worthless condescending jerk would be able to pull off what happens here which is played off as newfound confidence but isn't in the slightest bit true of anything other than pretentious nonsense. It's just so hard to get anything out of this that despite a few decent bloodletting scenes along the way as he tries to adapt to the change here, from the alleyway attack on the college student and the main sequence of him biting each of the dates one-by-one while sleeping with them gives this one some messy blood-letting from time-to-time here, but it's all mostly undone by the film's meager budget which restricts the vampire notion to simply his contact lenses as there's barely any fangs on display or other such powers featured here. On the whole this one was beyond worthless.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Nudity and strong sexual scenes.

This was a really odd movie, but I enjoyed it. I'm sure lots of people won't like it, but I liked it. The main character is this lazy, selfish man who doesn't appreciate his girlfriend enough. It would be easy to dislike him, but the stuff that comes out of his mouth made me laugh. He loses his girlfriend when he turns down her marriage proposal and she hooks up with an old flame. After meeting and talking with a stranger, he finds himself turned into a vampire. That's when the real craziness starts. The quick and odd dialogue has me laughing as well as the insanity of some of the situations. It's a low key kind of movie that not everyone will enjoy. I found it to be quirky and clever.

At least two-thirds of SUMMER OF BLOOD is laugh-out-loud funny. The reason: Onur Tukel, the contemporary Woody Allen. The script is genuinely funny, as is Tukel himself: he babbles on like Woody Allen, so self-absorbed that absolutely nothing gets between himself and his love of himself. His first encounter with a victim of a vampire is priceless: the man's bleeding out and can't talk because his throat has been ripped out. "Can you SIGN?" Tukel asks. The man begins to respond in sign language (subtitles translate the gestures)- but it doesn't really help... because Tukel doesn't know sign language. "Wow," he murmurs, in amazement: "You really DO know how to sign..." Tukel goes on to plumb the depths of life-after-death in a way that even Woody Allen could only dream of. SUMMER OF BLOOD pulls no punches and I recommend it for Onur Tukel's performance above all else.
