"Mr. Jones" (2013)
Watched
the mumblecore horror comedy "Summer of Blood" (2014) by
writer/director/actor Onur Tukel. I always find it awkward recommending
comedies to anyone because humor is so subjective, but for me
personally I found much of this film to be hysterical. Picture a Woody
Allen film about Larry David becoming a vampire and that's about what
you get with this. Tukel plays a selfish, insensitive prick
who can't commit to anything and has no clue what he wants in life.
Once he's bitten by a vampire and becomes one of the undead, this only
amplifies his indecisiveness, as he can't decide if he wants to continue
being a bloodsucker or go back to his ex-girlfriend. All of these
scenes provided me with fits of laughter, but unfortunately the film
runs out of steam going into the third act. It's almost as if Tukel had
no idea how to tie everything up, thus the end feels forced and lacking
any real closure - then again, for a film about a guy who can't make up
his mind, maybe that's fitting. 7 out of 10 for me.
