An Amazon Original, this equivalent to an old-style TV movie from Blumhouse's television arm delivers vampires in New Orleans but not very successfully. Neither the writing nor the performances are particularly strong, with a script often stating the painfully obvious seemingly for people who have never heard of vampires but also throwing in the occasional jarring pop-reference ("I'm not Buffy...!"). It is also concerning and distasteful that a 2021 movie should choose to dress up its young teenage girl protagonists as hookers in order to gain entry to the vampires' lair. The New Orleans setting is probably the best thing on offer here.
