Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Undead (2009)

Comedy/Horror     Not Rated

Plot

Julian Marsh is an out of work ladies' man who lands a job directing a bizarre adaptation of Hamlet. After casting his best friend and his ex-girlfriend in the show, Julian finds himself in the middle of a two thousand year old conspiracy that explains the connection between Shakespeare, the Holy Grail and some seriously sexy vampires. It turns out that the play was actually written by a master vampire name Theo Horace and it's up to Julian to recover the Grail in order to reverse the vampire's curse...If only being undead wasn't so much God-damned fun!

Acting

Stars Jake Hoffman (Dustin's Son), Devon Aoki, who actually plays a full fledged character for the first time, and Genre veteran Kris Lemche, also stars Ralph Macchio, and John Ventimiglia in supporting roles, and Joey Kern (Cabin Fever) in a small role. Very well acted throughout, not a bad performance in sight.

Gore

Mild Vampire attacks

Sex/Nudity

A random women is seen topless as she gets out of bed.

Final Thoughts

This movie is really a comedy with vampires, and barely (or not at all) qualifies as a horror movie. It was however an entertaining comedy with a well written script and characters. It was also nice to see Aoki and Lemche playing a character a bit different then what we usually see them doing. If your looking for horror, than skip this, but if you just want to be entertained, watch it, its a much enjoyable 90 minutes that surely will not leave you disappointed.
