Bloodsucking Bosses Audio Commentary

Описание: "Bloodsucking Bastards" (alternatively released as Bloodsucking Bosses), directed by Brian James O'Connell and released in 2015, is a fast-paced horror-comedy that plays out as a vampiric, gore-soaked version of Office Space. The film, which features a mix of workplace satire and supernatural action, stars Fran Kranz as Evan, a dutiful but overworked "acting" sales manager stuck in a soul-crushing corporation.
Evan’s life is defined by monotony, a difficult relationship with his girlfriend and HR manager, Amanda (Emma Fitzpatrick), and his slacker best friend, Tim (Joey Kern). His frustration peaks when his cowardly boss, Ted (Joel Murray), passes him over for a permanent sales manager promotion, giving the position instead to Max (Pedro Pascal), a charismatic yet sinister figure from Evan’s past.
Shortly after Max takes charge, a wave of strangeness sweeps through the office. Employees become unnervingly efficient workaholics, turning pale, wearing black, and acting with aggressive dedication. While the office staff is literally being drained and turned into vampires by the new management, Evan is initially too self-absorbed and frustrated with his career stagnation to notice the supernatural shift. The workplace, previously just a soul-killing environment, becomes a literal death trap as colleagues begin to vanish or die.
Once Evan realizes that Max is a vampire using the company to build a bloodsucking army, he is forced to stop being a passive employee and take action. He teams up with his slacker buddy Tim and the remaining human, Amanda, to fight back. The film progresses into a high-octane battle featuring intense, comedic violence, with vampires exploding into geysers of blood and viscera when staked.
The comedy shines through in the satirical, deadpan take on middle management and corporate drudgery, as the vampires represent the inhumanity of, in their words, "unorthodox" methods that deliver "results". The climax involves a bloody showdown, including a memorable, absurd game of rock-paper-scissors in the midst of the carnage.
Ultimately, Bloodsucking Bastards is a 1-hour-26-minute blend of horror and humor that serves as a cathartic fantasy for anyone who has ever felt their soul was being drained by a corporate job. It is a film that highlights the absurdity of modern work life, where the bosses are truly, literally, sucking the life out of their subordinates.
