Summer of Blood
Lousy lover and egocentric Eric Sparrow is dumped by his girlfriend after rejecting her marital proposal. After a few failed dates his luck turns when a chance encounter with a vampire turns him into a sex god.
Why it matters
A sharp, self-aware indie vampire comedy that skewers toxic masculinity with a blood-soaked bite.
- A mordant send-up of bro culture and pickup artist absurdity, filtered through a low-fi vampire lens.
- Writer-director Onur Tukel’s deadpan lead performance anchors the film’s mix of cringe humor and horror.
- Micro-budget aesthetic and DIY effects recall early mumblecore, but with fangs and a subversive edge.
- Perfect for fans of genre mashups that mine social anxieties — think *What We Do in the Shadows* meets John Waters’ dark wit.
