Despite the Herculean strength & determination it takes to actually put together a film, the writing is subpar, and the comedy is incredibly juvenile.
For the uninitiated, Sterling Films is a production house that specializes in micro-budget movies. Fangs Out, much like many Sterling productions, is not for everyone, especially if you want cohesive narratives, production value that rises above the average student film, and acting that is a notch above after-school specials. When those expectations are adjusted, you can settle into the ludicrous story that unfolds, though it doesn't mean it's necessarily good.
There is a point where the cheapness of this production becomes charming, as the cast and crew stumble through this truly mind-numbing horror comedy about a vampire using a plastic surgery clinic to lure his prey. Despite the Herculean strength and determination it takes to actually put together a film, the writing is subpar, and the comedy is incredibly juvenile.
The production value is basically nonexistent. The DIY aesthetic is hard to escape, but the practical effects and minimal CGI bring together the movie's attempt to be a convincing horror. Though it is hard to truly accept what is onscreen when the shoddy cuts are unable to mask the poor work done. The sound of the outside world intrudes in laughable ways; there is the sound of what might be an AC that cuts in and out at odd times, suggesting that no one was working on continuity here.
