Horror/Comedy     Not Rated

Plot

Young Jeremy's life is a daily slog through teenage hell -- his only shields are his iPod and his sour attitude. He doesn't even know that change is possible, let alone that it is coming... that it is inevitable, that it is... his fate. He's about to stumble into an ancient feud between two warring vampyre clans... Santa Maria, the forgotten Queen of the Clan of the Snake has been imprisoned and left for dead in a shallow grave in the desert of Hell. It has taken centuries, but She has finally mustered enough strength to plead loud enough for the right ear to hear... And as Jeremy's love resurrects Santa Maria's corpse from from the wasteland of death, Santa Maria's love for Jeremy raises him from the numbing death of his teenage life. But when Santa Maria needs to move up the food chain to keep her returning strength growing, Jeremy's love is tested... did he really fall in love with a ferocious, predatory monster? Did she ever love him? Is he next on her banquet table? Can love ever really last forever? All it takes is the kiss.

Acting

It's not exactly a story that requires a great deal of traditional acting talents, but i think all the major players did a good job, the minor part actors, not so much.

Gore

Some vampire attacks, and some bodies oozing blood.

Sex/Nudity

A fully nude sex scene, and a women is topless while fleeing the vamp.

Final Thougths

The story starts out a bit like a teen angst mellow-drama, but once the vampire lady appears that is dropped a bit and it turn into an interesting and cheesy vampire romance, with good elements of both horror and a bit of comedy. Movie was mostly well made, with a few instances of  low budget effects in some scenes, and a bit of inexperience with the direction, and in the end amount to a forgettable, but enjoyable flick.
