IMDb plot summary: A small-town farmer's son reluctantly joins a traveling group of vampires after he is turned by a beautiful drifter.
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow. Starring Adrian Pasdar, Jenny Wright, Lance Henriksen, and Bill Paxton.
This started off really interesting. A western vampire romance is definitely an interesting way of going about telling the story, especially before vampire romances were around every corner. However, it never really achieved what I was hoping. The plot in acts two and three feels aimless after such an interesting set up, without a clear sense of where the story is headed -- even after it was over. Not nearly as good as I thought it was going to be.
2 stars.
