This southern gothic attempted tale of vampires in a small town is sub-USA-Up-All-Nite level amateur hogwash, the kind of thing you figure someone threw together with a home movie camera and a lot of ambition, and literally nothing else. Right down to the obvious papier-mache corpses and other didn’t-even-have-the-budget-to-try totally unspecial effects. And of course nobody in this movie can act at all, all anyone does is stiffly recite lines… where do they find these people?

But, here’s the thing, and I always like this: it just doesn’t know when to stop. It’s ambitious, and obviously the product of someone with a lot of passion. A lot of passion, and absolutely zero talent for filmmaking whatsoever, but a lot of passion. And it just goes on and on and on, long enough to kind of suck you into its weird world of stilted editing and stiffly-recited-from-a-cue-card lines. I ultimately felt a little affection for it, because it just tried so hard, gosh darn it, it really did.

If I believed in the existence of “so bad it’s good” movies, I might even think this is one of them. I’m still not convinced, but it might be as close to evidence for it as I’ve seen.
