In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead (2009)
A horror by Jordan Galland, with a cameo by Ralph Macchio.
A play director helps a vampire to put on a vampire version of Hamlet. He is contacted by a woman from a secret society who is looking for the holy grail.
This film is just too far removed from Hamlet to even consider using this title. It's a film about a play that is named after a spin-off. It just doesn't work. The plot was overly complicated and not even that good anyway. The style was too modern for my tastes. I'm rating this bad for a whole slew of reasons.
