    It simply plays straight-faced. That works at first, but the narrative is so slack--and the budget so painfully low--that the minimal intrigue becomes impossible to sustain. All aspirations to trash-art aside, it’s ultimately repetitive and dull--padded with even more overhead shots of L.A. roadways than “True Detective” season two.

    Overall Danger is a bit more fun than A Deadly Adoption, but it’s not nearly the subversive deconstruction that Lifetime probably hoped for when they hired Franco in the first place.

    This is thin stuff and the only actor I'd definitively say is giving a "performance" is Meade. ... In its last third, the telefilm finally kicks into gear. That's when you get the blood-spurting, face-battering, knock-down-drag-out cemetery brawling vampire action that you want.
