This movie had me laughing all the way through. I was surprised and did not expect it. I love horror movies that's are funny. Definitely one to check out for sure!!!

This movie had a real 80's vibe about it (especially the music) and reminded me of movies like "Vamp", "Return of the living dead" and "Demons". It's definitely not an A-grade blockbuster and the special effects are OK at best but it was still a bit of fun. The acting was not terrible, I've seen a lot worse. I was super surprised to see James Remar in this movie, especially the role he played. Most of the actors playing the vamps did a fairly decent job and were believable. It's not going to win any awards but if you're sitting at home wanting to waste an hour and a half you could do a lot worse. Cheers :-)

Came in with low expectations and was very pleased by the time the credits rolled. The writing was pretty good and they made the best movie they could have given the budget they were working with. The gore was well executed and the SFX teams did a fantastic job. I don't think I've ever watched a low budget movie like this and been so blown away by the editing and sound crews. Honestly, the sound crew and gaffers knocked it out of the park. The editing crew also made their cuts perfectly and there are no lingering nonsense shots. Everything was tight and cohesive. If you are a fan of the horror comedy genre, this is an absolute "must see" of a film and I guarantee you will have a few laugh out loud moments.

"The Night Watchmen" is a vampire movie with clowns … but the clowns are the vampires and – in fact – the titular night watchmen are the clowns! Does that make sense? If not, it doesn't matter. It's a horror comedy with the emphasis laying heavily on the comedy part, and although enjoyable enough while it lasts, it's probably one of the least memorable movies you'll ever watch. The script, written by two of the lead actors, contains a few inventive gimmicks and a small handful of genuine laughs, but overall it's a routine and largely uninspired fan-boy movie with the usual splatter effects and infantile fart, weed and bimbo jokes. We're introduced to the four night watchmen of the Baltimore Gazette newspaper building, located somewhere in the harbor. Their job is generally boring and monotonous, so they entertain themselves by peeping at the sexy office ladies, playing human bowling, smoking weed and stealing other people's lunch packets. Tonight will be different, however, because the coffin of a famous dead clown mistakenly ended up at the newspaper building. The clown mysteriously died during a tour in Romania and got repatriated, but he quickly rises from his coffin and goes on a violent killing spree during the one night that everybody stays in the office to work on a deadline. Personally, I think that the concept of eerie vampire clowns entering the USA via the Baltimore harbor and gradually bloodsucking their way through the rest of the country might even have worked as an actual horror movie, complete with atmospheric tension and scary clowns' make-up, but apparently the makers decided it was better to focus on incompetent watchmen instead. Thanks to the copious amounts of fake blood and the exaggeratedly bad acting, "The Night Watchmen" is entertaining enough to watch at a festival or in the company of drunken friends, but don't expect to still be talking about it a week later.
