Writer/director Onur Tukel turns in a hilarious performance as the monumentally lazy, socially oblivious and commitment-shy Erik Sparrow, who is dumped by his career-woman girlfriend (Anna Margaret Hollyman, White Reindeer) when he rejects her rather charitable marriage proposal. Feeling lost, he turns to a disastrous string of online dates that successively eat away at his already-deteriorating confidence until a lanky vampire turns him into an undead ladykiller, with a maniacal sex drive matched only by his frenzied need to feed on blood. A collision of absurd, self-deprecating wit and existential curiosity, Summer of Blood is a hilarious horror-comedy with a clever bite all its own.

Loved this.
"This is freaking hilarious. And bloody."

Decent vampire comedy
"Jerk with g/f trouble gets bitten by a vampire and turns into a sex god. If that sounds like a fun time go for this vampire comedy. I wouldn’t consider this top tier but it is a fun indie comedy. Just don’t go in if you need a likable protagonist."
— Brent B. (4/5)
