Review

The cast is, quite simply, terrific. It s a funny, interesting and rather unique take on the famous play, and definitely worth checking out. If you enjoy a tongue-in-cheek vampire flick or alternative takes on the Shakespeare s works, UNDEAD will make for an enjoyable evening at the movies. --Fangoria

It's funny; it's handsome to look at; it stars Artie Bucco from The Sopranos, Dustin Hoffman's kid, and Ralph Macchio. And it establishes the creeping horror of a once-legitimate neighborhood being overtaken by soulless, pale, black-clad, nocturnal monsters. You know, vampires. --New York Magazine

clever and original. Ralph Macchio is a hoot as Anna's Mafia-lite new boyfriend, and the film's various segments are introduced by an inspired array of title cards. --LA Times
