Plot Summary
Broke, frustrated ladies’ man Julian (Jake Hoffman of CLICK) scores his big break when he lands a job directing an off-Broadway version of Hamlet. But Jake soon realizes this is a bizarre adaptation written by a Romanian impresario named Theo (John Ventimiglia of TV’S SOPRANOS) who is actually a vampire. Theo hopes to lure the real Hamlet out of hiding so the two can end a century’s long feud over Shakespeare's “Ophelia.” This irreverent vampire comedy costars Devon Aoki (SIN CITY), Ralph Macchio (KARATE KID FRANCHISE), and more.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: A toothless satire whose targets include vampire mania, low-rent theater, indie romantic comedies, Scorsese, Shakespeare and Law & Order, it plays like a Web series expanded to feature length.
Fresh: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead is one sly slice of the ridiculous.
Rotten: Starts off feeling clever and original but turns silly and diffused as its convoluted story spins out.
Fresh: All of the riffs are twice and thrice removed, but the effect is lively rather than tiresome, largely on the strength of game performances, Sean Lennon's atmospheric score, and writer/director Jordan Galland's clear affection for his sources.
