Caleb Colton is happily living his life when he sets eyes on mysterious Mae licking an ice cream, dreams are made of this, so he thinks, until she sinks her teeth into his neck. As it turns out Mae may not be all Caleb was looking in a woman and without even getting down and dirty he's caught something off her. The poor bloke finds out she's a member of the undead and travels around with a band of new-age skanky vampires that roam the highways killing for an evening meal. Worse still he is forced into their gang, but can he cut the mustard? That's the thing.
Degenerate vampire rednecks with guns type fare that's somehow got itself a cult following...

Nightwatch (1997)
Director:Ole Bornedal
Certification:18
Reviewed:12/05/05
Remake of Nattevagten the 1994 Danish movie for an English speaking audience. This thriller starts off very creepy with newly recruited night watchman, Martin (Ewan McGregor) working in a morgue but then loses steam with the creepiness and turns into a standard serial killer yarn.

Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)
Director: Werner Herzog
Certification: 15
Reviewed: 16/12/06
Also Known As: Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht (Germany)
Word is passed down that Count Dracula (Klaus Kinski) is looking for another abode in Virna, Netherlands, Jonathan Harker's (Bruno Ganz) hometown. Jonathan is asked to oversee the arrangements by travelling to Transylvania to Dracula's castle in the Carpathian Mountains. His wife Lucy Harker (Isabelle Adjani) warns him of a awful feeling about his journey but Jonathan is determined he should go as the commission he would earn would be a great help for the couple.
Although the acting is good and it is exquisitely shot it does not inject enough energy to ward off weariness for mortal souls.
