Masters of Horror: The V Word (2006)

"The V Word" is a decent, if not a tad conventional, Masters of Horror effort, written by Mick Garris.

Two teenage friends decide to pay a late night visit to the local funeral home for the thrill of seeing the body of a recently deceased schoolmate. They find the place dark and seemingly free of workers, but they start freaking out when they hear music playing, find themselves locked in, and shit starts moving around when they're not looking. The presence behind these mysterious happenings soon makes himself known and goes about turning the boys into blood-starved ghouls, like himself...

Not a bad vampire story, overall; just not at all a contender for my top favorites of the Masters of Horror series. It's enjoyable enough, though, and Michael Ironside steals the show as he's apt to do in virtually anything he's in. "The V Word" is okay.
