Looking to launch their show, a trio of internet sleuths catch wind of the emerging viral craze of a special killer who livestreams his antics online and begin investigating him only to realize they've angered a vampire carrying out the murders and must find a way of stopping him.
This was a fairly solid and likable enough genre effort. The main starting point with this one offers a great overall idea about the concept of the centuries-old vampire adapting to modern technology by livestreaming his feeding tactics involving seducing and killing random women at his parties hosted in lavish settings which generate tons of viewership and wanting to get in on the action. This comes off well enough with the investigation into who's doing it that soon turns them into targets when the material brings them together as a means of trying to use everything for their site and uncovering the truth about how he operates including drugging his victim, getting them alone, and then draining them in full view of his audience as the discovery of the obscure anatomical details to illustrate their interest in what's going on. With these scenes focused on some bloodsoaked encounters full of nudity to go along with the bloodshed to let a dark ritual play out, there's some fun to be had with this one. There are some big issues here that hold it back. Most of that is based heavily on the storyline which makes no sense and has quite a bit of flaws present within here. As there's never any reason why the main vampire decides to livestream his kills to others so they know what's going on, why he's targeting people, or what he hopes to accomplish since others can find out who he is anyway, there's a decided lack of threat to the villain with his immensely convoluted and barely cognizant main plan. Likewise, the whole purpose of continuing to antagonize and egg on the lead vampire who's trying to kill them is a rather clueless notion based on how the logic behind it is carried out for how they get the idea of continuing which again makes for some questionable motivations from the story as a whole. Combined with some obvious low-budget limitations that show up at times, it has some problematic issues at times.
