As we have seen with countless television series, movies and books for a few years, it’s safe to say that vampires are the new trend that’s taking over. The only problem with the new vamp trend is that all of the vampires seem loved up, depressing, moody and do-gooders instead of bloodthirsty, angry and crap-your-pants scary. Unfortunately, the last movie I had watched where there were proper bloodthirsty evil vampires was 30 Days of Nights and its sequel (soon to be reviewed) but not a lot of movies today involving vampires are very evil.
Dead Cert tries to bring the vampires back to their true form by making them scary and evil and, while they succeed in bringing the idea to life by making the vampires quite violent and laid-back, they’re not effective enough. So the story is about a gang of London gangsters who sell their club, The Inferno, to businessmen. Little did the gangsters know that those businessmen turned out to be vampires wanting their land back after so many years and now, the vampires turn against the gangsters when their part of the deal is not met. So for the next ninety minutes, that is all that happens. There isn’t anything exceptional about this movie except for the fact that they actually made the vampires evil. Dead Cert’s story is unbelievably stretched, as over the course of ninety minutes, all you really saw was what was already described. Basically gangsters selling their club to vampires posing as businessmen and both sides having a fight, there’s nothing more to it, it was just meaningless and had no point.
