Paul Magne Haakonsen As much as I enjoy movies that involve the undead in all their shapes, forms and sizes, then "Strigoi: The Undead" just didn't appeal to me, and I ended up giving up on it shortly after 45 minutes into the movie.Why didn't the movie appeal to me? Simply because it was so incredibly slow paced, so horribly, horribly slow paced. Nothing much had happened 45 minutes into the movie, so my interest was smothered and terminated. It is rare that I stumble upon a movie this slow paced. It was just awful.It should be said that the acting in "Strigoi: The Undead" was actually quite good. And it is always nice to see brand new faces and talents in a movie. Just a shame that they suffered under a boring script and a lack of storytelling talent at the hand of director Faye Jackson.All in all, this is a boring movie which isn't worth the time, effort and most importantly of all not worth your money.

Dawn Pilkington My husband and I loved this movie for: 1) it's quirky humor -- humor that we found intensely funny (laughing out loud in almost every scene). One running joke is about Vlad's squeamishness. In spite of going to med school, Vlad failed to practice medicine, presumably b/c of this reputed squeamishness -- well-known to everyone in the small town. So, just about every character says something to Vlad about his squeamishness, as he is faced with increasingly challenging or gruesome tasks. The remark: "Everyone knows you're a pussy, Vlad" is repeated by several characters. The delivery is not teasing or mocking; it's deadpan and matter of fact way, which is much funnier. 2. the political and social context -- very interesting3. the blood sucking/greedy eating as a metaphor for the communists' greedy thieving of people's landTips -- it's not scary -- not supposed to be, but it has a few gross out moments.LOVED IT!

samkan Only ten COMMENTS so far but I think Gavin and Bradlee got it right: This is a tongue-in-cheek adventure using a legendary genre with contemporary setting and language but mining some of the funniest deadpan humor ever! Truly the plot and it's background are interesting enough but I found myself laughing out loud at the characters and dialog. Such is never stand-alone comedy but situational; e.g.:Vlad: "Were you drinking my blood?" Grandfather, "It's okay." Vlad: "No it isn't! Were you drinking my blood?" Grandfather, "It's okay."Vlad:"NO IT IS NOT OKAY!" Much humor happens just in mere pauses and blank stares. Other hilarity results from the contrast between the horrific legend and storyline competing with the mundane; e.g., on more than one occasion we are engrossed in a character's suspicious, furtive actions only to discover he is looking for cigarettes. Similar, however frightening are the scenes involving the insatiable appetites of the undead, I LOVE LUCY comes to mind in mother's race to serve more food before herself becoming the meal! You may have a hard time getting a grip on how to read STRIGOI. Once you do it's an hysterical ride!

lanoraruiz I can't believe I sat through the entire movie without turning it off! This could have been a great movie. The concept and the history involving the location could have made this a great movie but somethings never happen like you hope they would. First why is this movie in English? Do they think everyone is so dimwitted that they just won't read subtitles? Secondly the phony accents do not match the nationality. I know Romanians and they sound NOTHING like the people in the movie. If you have watched everything available and it is a rainy Sunday and you don't mind watching a movie that has an ending that is even more confusing then any thing you have ever seen then watch Strigoi, but do not say you where not warned!
