Watch The Caretaker For Free

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Some say "die trying", though that would be difficult if you're undead. Seriously though, this movie cannot be faulted for any lack on effort. It does try and for some (especially those with a soft spot for low budget movies), it is even able to achieve that goal. Not that anyone could mistake this for a classic mind you.It still tries to imitate a couple of things that were very successful (like Blade to name but one movie this "borrowed" themes from). It has some blood and the acting is not as bad as one would/could expect. The story though is pretty simple and more than predictable. Still Kudos for trying to make a drama out of it and especially for the effort

On and on this film went, long past the point where I cared about it, until a sort of numbness crept in, where you really start to notice the world around you in your front room. Like: When was the last I hoovered the floor, or that wonky picture needs to be straightened. In the end, I just fidgeted around on my phone, as the lifeless (no pun intended there) characters met their respective fates and the ordeal was over. If the fact that I had more than one eye off the screen during the last 40 minutes means you ignore my review, then so help me... I don't give a hoot.It's just a badly written, wretchedly edited, poorly acted piece of... dung which is NEVER scary, about from the implied idea that it was worth releasing in this condition. There is not one aspect of it which is worthwhile, and the only reason I haven't scored it less is when I compare it to some of the VERY worst horror movies I've seen, it's not QUITE as horrendous as that. This is hardly a recommendation, though. Steer well clear. 2/10

I don't know what to say about this weird vampire movie. I have to say that for the first 2/3 of it I kept thinking this has to be one of the worst movies, especially vampire movies ever made. Somehow though, I still kept watching and I am glad I did. I might have given it a higher rating if 3 things were better. First the acting is horrendous. None of these people can act, another reviewer mentioned it reminding him of high school acting in a play. There were parts that were down right campy, (possibly intentional?), when the vampires would attack each other, or "fight" for territory, just dumb. Second the script was really overly dramatic in parts, people saying things that are just not real dialog, etc. Felt like someone very inexperienced wrote the script. Trying to make the movie better by creating all these stupid lines. The constant poetic talk that the main vampire starts doing in the last half of the movie, what is that about?? OK, and last, the music is just done bad. The songs/score are fine, but the volume pumps up at times to the point you have to turn it down, and it isn't even necessarily in a part where you would expect to have loud and dramatic music. Here are the things I liked about it. I liked the story, instead of the usual humans running around trying to keep from being killed/turned by vampires, you have this whole other concept where the vampire looks out for the humans during the night, if they watch out for him during the day. Interesting and nothing I have seen done before. The location was nicely done with the landscape colors being so vivid, and the sky going from day to night. The ending was good, even the acting seemed to improve in the last few scenes. I am thinking if this movie had a bigger budget with better actors and a better script, this might be really great.

I have to admit that I was intrigued by the premise of this movie. Instead of having unrealistic characters, there is a random and quirky mix, and people don't become overnight heroes. The acting quality was decent without having anyone being a caricature. It moves a bit slower than the average vampire flick, because it's not an average vampire flick. So, for those expecting action-packed gore and lots of cool special effects, you may be disappointed. This movie visually catches the general feeling of forlorn hope; what would you do to survive, and when does it become too much to live with? it is beautiful yet desolate. It's not a perfect movie, but much better than I expected.The piano soundtrack at certain points in the movie was absolutely haunting. I'm obsessed with figuring out how to play it now.
