Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead
Julian Marsh is an out of work ladies' man who lands a job directing a bizarre adaptation of Hamlet. After casting his best friend and his ex-girlfriend in the show, Julian finds himself in the middle of a two thousand year old conspiracy that explains the connection between Shakespeare, the Holy Grail and some seriously sexy vampires. It turns out that the play was actually written by a master vampire name Theo Horace and it's up to Julian to recover the Grail in order to reverse the vampire's curse...If only being undead wasn't so much God-damned fun!
Why it matters
A cheeky mashup of vampire lore and Shakespearean wit that revels in genre-savvy camp with a sharp literary twist.
- Sharp, self-aware humor riffs on Hamlet and vampire tropes with infectious glee.
- Practical effects and period detail create a quirky, offbeat atmosphere that’s part gothic romp, part backstage farce.
- Perfect for fans of cult horror comedies who like their undead with a side of Shakespearean wordplay.
- Not high art, but a spirited, playful curiosity that embraces its B-movie charms without apology.
