| Summary: |
Allburg is an idyllic small town, far removed from the crime of the big city. Safe, peaceful... and in deadly danger. When a vampire is released from his long imprisonment in an underground crypt, the unsuspecting town becomes the target of his unearthly bloodlust. One by one, the entire population becomes either vampire ot helpless victim. A teenage girl, a school teacher and a wino become an unlikely trio of vampire hunters as they struggle to destroy a monstrous danger more unspeakable than death. |

short review: Not bad guys, not so bad! Sometimes it's a bit similar to (the more well-done) Salem's Lot with it's town populated by vampire citizens. Some of the dialogues are somehow (unintentionally) funny, and I expected something more spectacular from the director of "Hellraiser II" and the producers (famed horror movie magazine Fangoria). But nevertheless the film is good enough for some entertaining nighttime.  |
