Vampire Conspiracy (2005)

A bunch of annoying unlikable people wake up in a room together with no idea how they got there.  Turns out they've been kidnapped by a vampire who has outfitted them with jumpsuits, and will grant their freedom if they can escape his maze..... actually appears more like a corridor than a maze, but whatever.

The vampire, a French 1700s fancy lad, is fawned over my his minions while spouting dialogue which will make you go into a stupor and ask, "did he say something?"

The unlikable humans turn out to be tied together by an event that affected each persons life in a negative way.  As if their combative personalities aren't bad enough, once each persons connection is told via flashback, the antagonism between them increases.

I try to avoid Brain Damage films as they are usually boring, poorly written, and don't have the budget to do things well.  The acting often feels like community theatre, as do the sets.  As far as the dialogue goes, if you took out the word fuck out of this movie, it would probably only be half as long.

The outside of the ancient stone castle....
...inside the ancient.... modern security door?  
Sir Fancy Pants and his minions - their castle has seams in the walls
Uh yeah.....that (ahem) castle maze is going to be tough to escape.
Damn it, movie!  This is not acceptable!
