Anybody seen this vampire road movie. I watched it last night and it's fantastic.

Basically a man(vampire killer) and a boy team up together across a country which has gone through a Vampire epidemic and extreme religious.

Well worth a watch.

    Saw it mentioned but didn't pay it much attention, after reading your review I will now watch it as I like a decent vampire movie.:)

    This is something I thought I'd never say about an action/horror movie - it was heartbreakingly sad. The music, the visuals, the acting all left me with a sense of futility, in their quest and in their futures.

    Brilliant stuff, flawed in places but easily overlooked. One of those films that will live with you after the credits have rolled.

    It's a bit slow and drags on, I thought it was ok but nothing special.

    A little humour wouldn't of gone amiss, think the trouble with lower budget films like this is the actors usually aren't up to the task of playing serious and it just comes across as dull.

    It was filmed really well and the music really made it. Well worth a watch if you haven't got anything better to do.

    Reminded me a little of The Walking Dead, crossed with Zombieland, without the humour.
