This movie was by far the worst spoof movie I have ever seen. I read the other two reviews and I honestly have no idea what was so funny about this movie. I love spoof movies, they're silly and crack me up with laughter but this movie, Taintlight, was just plain bad. The acting was terrible, the dad's character was funny in a sense that it was all in bad taste, and the story line... just bad. I skipped forward twice in this movie as the terrible scenes just drag on. It honestly was torture to watch and I just couldn't take it. I tried to watch it, I really did, I even waited for the vampires to show up in hopes that maybe it would pick up but it didn't. All the same execrable scenes left much to be desired. I wanted to laugh when I clicked play but all I got was a headache from rolling my eyes so often. Don't watch this movie if you have an intelligent sense of humor. What a waste of my time this movie turned out to be. Stupidity in it's finest form.

Chris Seaver's execrable Twilight spoof
Leofwine_draca10 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
TAINTLIGHT is an open spoof of TWILIGHT by the one and only Chris Seaver, a filmmaker with no discernible talent behind or in front of the camera. Seaver is best known for his shot-on-video horror/exploitation fare such as the FILTHY MCNASTY series but this sees him attempting a proper spoof of a popular film.
Sadly, it's as infantile and ridiculous as the rest of the director's oeuvre, featuring nothing more than a bunch of non-actors getting into costume and hanging out in the woods. The humour is puerile, the over the top performances are supposed to be funny but really aren't, and the whole thing is nothing more than an appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Waste of time unless you're a fan of Chris Seaver's work

I've watched A LOT of Chris Seaver's "movies." This has all of the traits of a typical Seaver production--gross-out sexual humor, fart and poop jokes, way over the top "acting," bizarre characters (and vocal performances), and absurdity. And, of course, Jesse Ames, Josh Suire, and many of the Seaver regulars.
None of his movies are particularly good, but they can be fun and, when the humor is inspired, gut-bustingly hilarious.
Taintlight is, unfortunately, comprised mainly of tired gags that seemed to have been recycled from his other productions, making it hard to overlook the movie's flaws. That said, there are some gags that are absolutely hilarious.
I gave this movie a 3. Ultimately, I think it's a waste of your time unless you're a die-hard Seaver fan.

Still better than Twilight

If you are looking for a Mel Brooks quality spoof, just keep looking. This is not for you. This movie is filled with toilet humor, bad jokes, and terrible acting. That being said, it does accomplish it objective of spoofing even more terrible source material and I think some of the bad acting is actually a spoof of the cast of Twilight. I found it to be enjoyable if you are capable of overlooking the low budget limitations. It looks like a bunch of buddies shot it on their mom's camcorder, but there were some good laughs in there. If you don't have the patience for unpolished independent films, I would suggest Vampire's Suck instead. I would still much rather watch Taintlight a thousand more times than watch another Twilight movie.
Very Funny!!!

This movie is so low budget and stupid that it's actually quite funny. It's basically the hard 'R' rated version of Vampires Suck. Stella moves back to the town of Bonejack Heights and with her incest dad.(The dad is hilarious because he has an incredibly fake mustache and tries to flirt with his daughter) When she goes to school, she meets a vampire named Edgar Mullen who treats her like crap, but she starts a love triangle with him and a Michael Jackson-loving werewolf named Jack. Edgar must protect her from Razor McBleed and his gang. If you like stupid movies, such as Twilight, you'll probably enjoy TAINTLIGHT!!!
Shut up Stella

For those who desire to see a decent spoof of "Twilight" I would recommend "Vampires Suck." Taintlight, which I found funny at times, was mostly crude. The film starts out with a man dropping his pants in the woods and then dropping the f-bomb. The humor includes far too many period, fart, incest, and masturbation jokes. Meredith Host is the twenty something that played a high school student.
I liked the dad, who wore a t-shirt which proclaims, "I hate actors" which was clearly making a statement about the original film. Edgar would tell Stella to "shut the f@#$ up" and then say, "I'll see you tomorrow." Yes, there is clearly a spoof of the original, but the abundance of crudeness detracted from the film.
F-bomb, no nudity.

Quite Interesting.

This is actually a very interesting short film (video) although at times it seems to go out of it's way to be funny.
PROS: It is a spoof of a series I am not a huge fan of which in it's own right makes it funny. The over dramatic as well as the occasional under dramatic acting give this an almost comical edge that most spoofs seem to either overdo or fail at performing. The opening shot of the guy trying to find a place to poop was somehow hilarious to me as well as the very last scene of the film. I did actually laugh genuinely throughout this short.
CONS: The cinematography was rather bad, editing should have been better, the short seemed a little rushed at times and a couple of the supporting cast were a little too bland.
Overall this short film is pretty good and quite interesting. It is good to watch as long as you do not try and take it seriously and aren't a huge fan of the overdone and overrated series this little short film (video) makes fun of.
