Ninjas vs. Vampires

Thanks to the suggestion from Kolien, I took a little time and watched 2010's Ninjas Vs. Vampires. Make no mistake it is not a horror movie. It is an action comedy, with horror elements.  It is also low budget and intentionally campy.

Basically, this is a movie where a young man suddenly discovers that vampires do indeed exist, and not only that, there is a group of "Ninjas" led by a witch that battle against them. the young man, Cole joins this group to (of course) save his love interest, and undergoes training from Aaron and Kyle (the guys in this Ninja group).  The group then has a battle against a fragmented army of vampires, the most powerful of which is intent on ruling the world.  Now this movie is intentionally silly, and has horrible CGI, and borderline acting, but the film makers use it to their advantage.  While I wasn't completely won over by this show, I did finish it without falling asleep or exiting early from boredom.  A couple of times I even laughed out loud, but I  can't wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. 

I'm going to go ahead and give this  movie a 4.75 out of 10. You might ad a point or two if you fire up a bowl prior to watching!  That's all I can say for now!  Thanks for the suggestion, Kolien!  Keep 'em coming folks!

That is quick service Mr. Boss. That is one honest review. A bunch of ones from other websites praise to the high heaven how good it is. Now I know the true scoop. Since it is "campy" I don't think I will waste my money.

Glad to hear it Kolien! I called it as I saw it. Now it is on Netflix streaming, so that made it easy for me to just punch it up and watch it. I definitely wouldn't pay anything above streaming fee to watch this movie, but it isn't the worst movie ever made by any stretch either.
