A teacher learns from his priest friend that vampires are infesting a small town.
I didn't know Fangoria magazine produced movies. But then, I also didn't read Fangoria or other mags like that, I just knew of them. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of this before. It's not bad, but the script is undercooked. The quirky town and its people needed some development in daylight. There's some good effects, including some stuff I haven't seen before, like some of the vampires sleep in cocoons that they expel. Some sleep in water...but if there was an explanation for it I missed it. Garrett Morris plays the town drunk and I'd swear he could have made this 5 years ago, not 30. I watched this on Amazon and unfortunately it must not have a good transfer, because the video and sound quality was quite poor. And I'm not a big stickler on that stuff, especially for something I haven't seen before, but this definitely seemed to be degraded quality.
I was a little put off by a teacher who looks 30-something and a 17 year old girl being the love connection for the story. At least make her a year or two older and say she's back from college!
