Director Anders Banke (John Howe: There and Back Again) tries to squeeze in too many things into this strange but delightful vampire flick: A historical legend in war-torn Sweden, a modern day Americanized teen flick with a tinge of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and awful CGI effects. But this, The Naked Gun of horror films, has enough dark humor to distract the audience from its haphazard filmmaking. It is corny, funny, dense and even a little frightening at times.

Ian Wright

Traveler-comedian Ian Wright was recently in Singapore to launch Discovery Travel and Living’s brand new series VIP Weekends with Ian Wright. Packing only his eccentric personality, this globe trekker is the epitome of the good old fashioned backpacker. We’ve seen him cruise through rough terrains, pull out all his clothes and jump into numerous lakes and seas, but can he survive sitting pretty and sipping champagne while brushing shoulders with high society? Despite the fame, this self-confessed Ordinary Joe represents the everyday man. With a backpack full of a wicked humor and undying passion, Wright lives life to the fullest without even trying.
