Local Vampire

About This Movie

Local Vampire is a quirky blend of comedy and absurdity, directed by Branko Baletić. It follows this hapless businessman who, after being swindled and drowning in debt, comes up with a wild plan with his mother. They decide to fake his death, and that's where the fun begins. The pacing can feel a bit erratic, but it adds to the charm, as the story spirals into increasingly ridiculous situations. The performances are solid, capturing that offbeat humor, and you can't help but appreciate the practical effects used to create the funeral scenes. What really stands out is the way it plays with themes of desperation and the lengths people will go to escape their problems. It's an oddball film that's got its own unique vibe.

Great example of dark humor · Practical effects add to the charm · Offbeat storyline with unique pacing
