What Even Was This Random Vampire Film?

Okay so I watched this because I'm a fan of Fluke. He's a great actor so I knew his acting would at least be good, and I was right! However, that doesn't mean the movie overall was good because it wasn't. I liked the opening shot on Fluke's face as he was talking to the camera in an intimate way. It was a good setup for the film, though it didn't really hint at what the premise was.

So basically this was an entire film of me screaming at the scene that Wine (Fluke) deserved better. His character is treated like total disposable trash throughout the film from 2 guys and then he ends up having a vampire boyfriend...yeah random I know. Wine definitely got around with all these men dude! I mean do your thing, but it was confusing as to what timeline we were on most of the time. I'm not really sure what the point was to the film, though I got the basic premise. Basically once Wine finds this vampire (named Night) with a comically prominent widow's peak like Dracula they basically agree on an arrangement that Wine will give him some of his blood, kind of in exchange for love in a way? When I realized this I was like babe...please don't do this! But it happens and here we are. We also get some sexual scenes along the way, with some semi-nudity thrown in there which surprised me. It's nothing crazy but it threw me off guard

All of this happens and I asked myself. How is this going to go on for 1 hour and 40 minutes!? Then the film took a turn, which I actually kinda liked. Basically Wine decides in order to please and save his vampire bae he's going to kidnap his former douchebag exes and use them for blood on the daily. It was interesting. This would've all been more impactful if Wine and Night actually had an established relationship that wasn't terribly rushed, but it was at least something. Then the movie just kept being weird, which I'm into weird but I was just like what? Then we get some scenes of remorse from Wine, Night drinking blood comically out of a wine glass and then Wine gets arrested. I didn't think they allowed you to bring guitars into a jail cell? But what do I know lol! I also don't know if the ending insinuated that Wine will now just wait in jail for Night to come rescue him? Or...he's just hallucinating now? Either way the ending sucked but Fluke didn't in the film.
