I didn’t have very high expectations for this film, basically set in the wilderness of post apocalyptic America, shot down by a vampire virus which is on the brink of encompassing the world, “Mister” and “Martin” are both set on the same path after “Mister” saves “Martin” against the vampires that kill his parents and eat his sibling (Literally).

The film is mostly set in rural surroundings so it gives the effect of “no where to run” and certainly “no where to hide”, Mister and Martin on there travels meet a variety of characters such as a nun and a few “beautiful damsel’s in distress” and finally a “brotherhood” that seems to have in for our 2 main protagonists. On the whole I believe that the film is mostly about how their relationship flourishes through out and how humanity would pull together if this were ever to happen.

For a low budget film the vampires/undead are extremely effective and the make up is excellent, if you are looking for a film to make you jump, this isn’t it, however it does provide and good emotional story with likeable characters and a good standard of acting.

One of the Vampires/Undead

This may seem like a short review, but its just one of those films that not really much happens, but if I were to talk about the film, it would kind of giveaway the suspense in which is builds throughout the film, like what they are going to do next.

All I can say is that, its not your run of the mill vampire film, however it is definitely worth your time, and it is a fulfilling film to watch, and there is possible room for a sequel.
