With several friends already dead or missing and Amanda's boyfriend Jonathan no where to be found, they are running out of options... and time! - Written by Shaun Paul Piccinino

Undescribable Perfection
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Blistering performances.
I partly agree with what Schiccatano says. This does not deserve a 1.It should have been a 0. After reading the ridiculous comment by Schiccatano, I deliberately gave the lowest rating possible.Funny, the secretary of the film company stood out to make a comment, instead of letting the movie speak for itself. Schiccatano mentioned nothing about the script, the acting, or the cast, all of which are poor in this movie. Instead, Schiccatano rambled on and on about how 2 people made the movie with little money and how much money they were making nowadays, and insulted reviewers who gave 1, basically calling them losers without a life.Know this, Schiccatano. The audience has the freedom to give the rating they want to give, and it is not up to you, or any spokesperson from a film production company nobody has heard of.I know that you feel the need to defend the product of the company you represent. But know this: neither you or your company owns the internet, an open platform where all sorts of opinions abound. If you don't like what you read, then simply quit reading online reviews.Last but not the least, give me a good script and I'll direct. I'll wipe the floor with this movie.
I liked the film. It was a common low budget film, hard to watch at some points, especially the opening scene, nevertheless, I still enjoy seeing the creative side of young film makers who are still learning and growing in their craft. I enjoyed the fight scenes and loved the opening credits. Good job. At any rate, knowing this is an Independent film, I would recommend it. I also read the comment posted by Sonya of this film's production company. That was a good comment. Good move. I say this because this comment helps you appreciated this film 10 fold. She (Sonya) informs everyone about this fact: 'the film was made by two kids. They shot, wrote, cut and got a distribution deal all by themselves. So I give them credit, for I know how hard that is to do! Now, I am sure the film makers already know what could have been changed and what not to do in the future, so I will spare them the talk. Nevertheless, to the production company and these two young men, "best of luck on your next film and continue to gain that experience so your future projects will get better and better!"
I liked the Film, I thought the opening credits were cool, but, the opening 60 second scene was awful! Not so much the acting, but the back-lighting... there isn't any! ...thus pixelating the film. Common error by indy-filmmakers. Nevertheless, they figured that out quick, thank God, and it gets better after that first scene... so hang in there. Well, I thought the acting was decent, for low budget, the Lead Vampire was strong, the brit was stiff, the action directing was good, at least, it kept me interested, and the score was decent. Although I felt some silence, instead of score, would have been a better choice in some scenes. Moreover, the strongest part of this film was the Fight choreography! They are behind in some area's, but Far ahead of their game in action, I believe this will be the prime reason people watch this film. The action is very satisfying... again, with emphasis on the fact that this was a low budget film. Good Job and best of Luck. -a must rent if one enjoys low-budget, creative action/fight sequences... without the big budget explosions and nonsense.
I saw this film at the New York International Film Festival, 2004. I originally went to see another film, but, after seeing the posters, I thought I would sit in for a bit. BUT... after the opening sequence, I had to stay for more... It was a lower budget movie; nevertheless, I thought they did great! I give it a "10.0" rating because I thought that their fight sequences were far more advanced than this film genre produces, their acting was decent for a low budget film and, most of all, they wrote the script in only 9 days! That's right! that is what the explained during the Q and A session of this film! They wrote 10-12 pages per day! Unbelievable! I mean, it was not the most complex script, but... it is definitely better than 'any other full length feature script I have read that was written in the same time frame (9 days)--Anyway, blah, blah...if they did this film with pennies, it will be interesting to see what they can do with Millions! ... I'm sold! Great Job and best of luck!
