Not going to lie, with all the Christmas horror-hype these days, it's pretty clever to get out ahead of the game and capture that Christmas vampire market.
Considering such, this film stands out from most of the other more recent Christmas horror films, not only because of it's original angle...but also because it is a mostly competent film.
In it, we find ourselves following a fledgling vampire romance novelist, on Christmas...just as she is about to have a life altering experience....after a bat crashes into her back window.
She takes the bat in, with plans on rehabilitating it...but- to her luck- it turns out to be an real live actual vampire.
Smitten by her newfound fate, she not only takes the injured vampire in...but even acts to protect him from a renown vampire hunter, who has been hot on his trail.
Though, of course she also uses the oppourtunity to learn more about the "rules" that apply to vampires...and get him to critique her book.
However, not everything is as peachy keen as it seems...because when the injured man reacquaints with his two friends...they kick the poor woman to the curb, and take over her house.
So, she's left to fend for herself...and fight for what's rightfully hers.
The whole thing is tinged with an air of dark humour...particularly the ending...which has a clever twist.
And there is a decent amount of gore!
Which is why it is such a fresh and refreshing Christmas horror that is worth enjoying this holiday season.
5.5 out of 10.
