At Stake: Vampire Solutions

**Low Budget but High Comedy** Sorry, I suck at titles, lol. Full disclosure, I've been a fan of the AS:VS series since I first saw the 1st film at a film fest in Chicago. Really blew me away with the story, the characters, and ESPECIALLY the ending, but don't worry, no spoilers here. I recently found them again on Amazon Prime along with the sequel film and thought I'd show my support for the films on here because not a lot of people know about them. For me, the best way to describe the AS:VS films are a mix between the TV show Deadliest Catch and John Carpenter's Vampires. It's set in a world where there are vampires, but the vamps aren't super-powered, or taking over the world, their a menace. And instead of dealing with them yourself, you call a company like the AS:VS company. And the characters that work at the AS:VS company are what make the story great! They're not ex-Swat officer, Marines, or Green Berets, they're the bottom of the barrel and really the only people willing to deal with the vampires and the results are pure comedy gold! I could honestly go on about the films and the characters for a while, but you should check them out yourself. I highly recommend both of them, though I think I like the 1st one the best.

**Good Indie Comedy** I may be a little biased as I'm a native Memphian which is where the film is set, but I really enjoyed this movie. The characters especially make the movie unique and really drew me in. I'd like to see what the filmmakers could do with a larger budget and more FX, but the story and character work is great as is the acting!
