Not your ordinary Vampire Comedy

"In this quirky comedy by new comers Brian & Dean Ronalds, Steve Burns (Blues Clues) plays Otto Granberry a lowly cubical worker of Berm-Tech Industries, Inc. The story begins when Otto is asked into the office of his boss (Darrell Hammond of SNL) to discover a co-worker has been impaled with a stake to the heart. This is only the first joke in this vampiric comedy and there is no way I can do this scene justice.

This film is based on a short by the Ronalds brothers and also stars Dave Foley (Kids in the Hall, News Radio) and Jason Mewes (Clerks and every Kevin Smith film) and follows a murder mystery in a company that hides a group of vampires... er Netherbeast from the rest of the world. They are nice monsters who only eat the recently deceased instead of hunting their prey. But someone is slowly killing them off.

I can't say this is a laugh out loud movie but it was very very funny and the oddities of it are beyond enjoyable.

I'm glad I added this film to my library. If you like comedies that are slightly eskewed then you will really enjoy this one. If you however are someone who thinks Larry the Cable guy is a comedy genius then this is so not for you."

A dark comedy-drama about vampires.

"I bought this movie because Amy Davidson is in it.
I watched it more than once because it is original, witty, well made, and thoroughly entertaining. Highly recommend it to anyone who likes dark comedy."

Do you see an office full of the undead? Where?

"Having seen the short film "The Netherbeast of Berm-Tech Industries Inc" some time ago, I have been eagerly awaiting the DVD release of the feature length film Netherbeast Incorporated. It does not disappoint.

Vampires ( or Netherfolk as they prefer to be called ) are among us. Toiling away in cubicles, chanting the same inane corporate slogans. They just want to live their lives and hit their productivity goals. The only major difference is that they must consume human flesh and blood to survive. In order to do so they cloister themselves away in their corporate headquarters, maintaining minimal human contact except for regular shipments of donated blood and the recently deceased. So what happens when the boss loses his mind and starts hiring humans from the outside? We get a movie that lies somewhere between Office Space and From Dusk Till Dawn.

The special features are entertaining and add to the experience. They have even included the original short film, which is excellent by itself.

All in all, this is a fun movie. There are horror elements and some gore, but they are primarily used to comic effect. If you are a fan of films like Evil Dead or Shaun of the Dead, Netherbeast Incorporated is for you."
