"Caleb, those people back there, they wasn't normal. Normal folks, they don't spit out bullets when you shoot 'em, no sir." - Loy Colton

Why watch this? This ultra-violent flick is one of the most Western films in the vampire genre.

Plot Summary: Caleb Colton, a young cowboy, encounters a mysterious drifter named Mae and is drawn into her world. He soon discovers she is part of a nomadic family of vampires who roam the American Southwest. Caleb is forced to confront his humanity and navigate the dangerous lifestyle of the undead, all while grappling with his feelings for Mae and the threats posed by her ruthless companions.

Dad's Preview: My first thought while watching this was, "Why have I not heard more about this film?" Though similar in plot to The Lost Boys (1987), this is a lot grittier. Both films feature a bitten mortal struggling to turn into a vampire. This film's coven of blood-suckers is led by Hooker, portrayed by the ice cold Lance Henrickson. Bill Paxton, as Severen, is the out-of-control, sadistic killer you never want to happen upon. This flick is vampire 101, and hopefully, you'll sink your teeth into it.
