What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Evan's soul-killing office and its promotion rivalry become the primary arena for the vampire outbreak.
The film emphasizes vampire bloodshed, beheadings, exploding bodies, and farcical jokes in a knowingly pulpy register.
Coworkers gradually become paler, more aggressive vampires while Evan races to save his remaining workplace allies.
Evan's failed promotion, rivalry with Max, and dead-end career are directly entangled with the vampire takeover.
