If the title alone isn’t enough to immediately place this on your must-see list then ... well, then you obviously think much less of Tom Stoppard than I do. Which is your right, I suppose, but it makes you a very silly person in my books. What is the spectacularly titled film all about? It’s a new horror comedy from director Jordan Galland with a score by Sean Lennon and a cast that includes a host of familiar faces plus Ralph Macchio who was very familiar once upon a time but who I would not now be able to pick out of a lineup if someone hadn’t told me it was him.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead is a comedy that explains the connection between Hamlet, the Holy Grail, and some very sexy vampires. Julian Marsh is an out of work and unsuspecting ladies man who still lives in the apartment above his Dad’s medical office. Frustrated by his son’s lack of a career, the good doctor cuts a deal with one of his creepy patients and gets Julian a job directing an off-Broadway play. The play is a bizarre adaptation of Hamlet written by a pale Romanian man named Horatio who is actually a master vampire. Julian recruits some New York actor buddies and a longtime ex-girlfriend to star in the show and they find themselves smack dab in the middle of a two thousand year old conspiracy. Forget about the garlic and the holy water only the Holy Grail itself can save them now if only being undead wasn’t so much God-damned fun!
The good lads at Bloody Disgusting tracked down the trailer on this one and unless you want me to continue scoffing at your lack of good taste you’ll take a peek below the break to check it out.

I think quite a bit of Tom Stoppard! I’m kind of surprised it took this long for this simple but brilliant riff on his play’s title to manifest itself.
