Martin

Verdict The surprise package of a movie here you see the word vampire and you think well watch we know the outcome. No this plays out like a zombie movie with vampires and every trick to kill them becomes more of a reality check. Every single horror fan will enjoy this as it offers everything you would like to see in a new generation horror film. Everything seems to have a very real aspect.
