Cool style, falls short in every other area.

The concept had potential. The lo-fi production style didn't necessarily have to be a negative. But there are few areas where this film fell short.1) The dialogue lacks maturity. I'm not opposed to profanity but the reliance on the F word makes the script feel like it was written by a high school student.2) The story line doesn't flow. When did she turn into a vampire exactly? What does that have to do with the diablo drug. Anyone who knows DMT knows that you're not likely to be functional on it.3) The acting is just bad. Frankly, I was glad that everyone died at the end. How the heck did they get Norm to be a part of this dumpster fire.Overall, I felt like I was watching a missed opportunity. If this concept had been given to a better writer and actors it could have been great. The direction and visuals were well executed given the actors and script.

A nightmare horror feature that would have worked better as a short

In LA, an artist (Dora Madison) is at a creative block, but finds herself in a nightmarish spiral of drug addiction and murder. She takes an hallucinogenic drug at a party that unblocks her artistic impasse, but also gives her a vampiric craving for blood.Joe Begos's debut feature does not hold back, with more than a hint and a shade of Abel Ferrara about it and lots of gratuitous and aggressive sex and violence. It would probably have worked better as a short film rather than a feature that at 80 minutes still feels a little long and drawn out. It does pull out all the shock stops and is most definately of interest.
