This movie seems to be one of those "remember how we used to be" films. There are many flashback scenes to the original. There's a lot of that theme throughout the film, that just screams of middle age men sitting around telling tales of "how we used to be" and "remember when we were actually cool?" It's a good movie for fans of Edgar Frog. Corey Feldman seems to be channeling a bit of Snake Plisskin there. The movie opens with Edgar all alone, having lost his best friend Sam and his brother to vampirism. Edgar gets roped into helping a woman who claims her brother has been kidnapped by vampires who are using raves to create an undead vampire army.
The plot is okay, it's not all bad. It's just that it's old. It feels old and tired. And been there and done that. And a bunch of aging men reminiscing about how they used to be cool really isn't all that cool. Maybe I'd be less harsh if Haim were really in this movie. He's only there in flashbacks, and one sad prophetic scene at a cemetery, filmed way before he died.
Just when you think the movie is all paint by the numbers, they do add a few interesting twists at the end. And the soundtrack isn't bad. All in all, it's not really a very bad movie. It's just more of a remember how we used to be film that wishes it was a lot more cool than it is. But it does entertain.
