Chris Mack's feature film debut is an unsettling blend of kitsch and blatant horror, concerning a group of disparate friends who are vacationing at a secluded house in Vermont. They soon discover that it's anything but Maple syrup the local inhabitants want! One of the women wanders out into the woods and meets a vampire, but when she awakens no one believes her. He eventually shows up at their doorstep, claiming to be a friend of the woman's deceased brother. Yet her brother, who resembles a cross between Opie Taylor and David Spade, isn't really dead, just one of the undead. Among the first people transformed is a pothead, which makes for an incredibly disgusting scene later when he's shown trying to grind raw meat in a juicer, then using blood instead of water in his bong! And then there is the scene with the vampire sucking blood out of IV tubes! Overall, a decent addition to the filmic vampire mythos.
