Warning: Spoilers
First-person found-footage movie about a person finding out that he becomes a vampire. In actuality, it takes (steals) elements from "Cloverfield", "The Fly", "Strange Days" and "Rec" and mixes them up into a pretty-boring mishmash. Basically, it starts like "Cloverfield", continues like "The Fly" (this section of the film steals shamelessly a huge amount of elements from "The Fly" and almost looks like the poor-man's remake of the movie) and then just becomes boring.

It's not a terrible movie - I've seen worse. But the thing is that nothing really happens in it. There is a tension build-up and you keep waiting for something big, but it never comes.

I guess people who liked "Rec" would highly enjoy this film, since it's pretty similar and I thought "Rec" was terrible.
