disdressed12 this turd is so bad i wasn't sure i should review it.but,if it keeps one person from seeing it,i'll be happy.i got through 37 minutes and just couldn't take any more.i don't know who comes up with this stuff.are they out on the streets among the rest of us? i hope not.anyway,this is billed as a vampire movie.there is also a couple of lesbians,a dysfunctional family,some gang violence,and some really disgusting scenes involving the vampires feeding.but this mess is not coherent at all,the acting(and i shudder to call it that) was beyond atrocious.the dialogue,again beyond words in its horribleness.If you have 5 dollars and a half dozen or so friends,congratulations you've just made a better movie.a very weak 0/10

slayrrr666 "Dark Town" is a halfway decent vampire film.**SPOILERS**As they're trying to celebrate their father's birthday, Sandy Armstrong, (Alison Dian Miller) Curtis Jr., (Rwaling Curtis) Heather, (Sarah Horvath) and Jen, (Janet Martin) along with her lover Lisa, (Meghan Stansfield) get together and await Curtis, Sr., (Joel King) who arrives late. When it finally gets started, a group of gang-members, Rakeem, (Delpano Wills) O-Dog, (Derrick Wayne Smith) Geoff, (Siaka Harding) and Tisha, (Kobina Wright) crash the party to escape a drug deal gone bad, only to find that the entire family are vampires. Trying to escape from the vampires, they eventually turn and fight the group from the inside.The Good News: This wasn't as bad as it was said to be. It's biggest asset is that it delivers exactly what genre fans of this kind of film enjoy. It's over-the-top violent, features enough cheesy action to keep it interesting and there's also a couple of great nudity scenes thrown in for good measure. The violence is pretty graphic, and is quite surprising for a vampire film. Aside from a huge amount of neck bites that freely flow as in normal movies, this one also has a new twist for the vampires in that they now gorge on the flesh of their victims. There's several victims who are surrounded and have several different vampires and begin feasting, ripping up the body quite messily. It pumps up the gore factor quite nicely. There's also nice decent action in here, quite easily seen in the final showdown. Not only highly gory, but features some action scenes as well. And then any film that features a lesbian vampire certainly scores some points in it's favor as well.The Bad News: The one main problem with this film is the same inherent problem all vampire films have, which is that vampires aren't that scary. That is the focus of the film, and it doesn't really provide a way to make them scary. It's a problem with all the vampire films, and this one is no exception. It's also very hard to really figure out what's going on here. There's lot of different subplots going on with no real conclusion to any of them and it just makes for a disjointed beginning half. Nothing really isn't explained either, and is just mostly taken for granted without much explanation. It makes it very easy to get confused in the middle section where nothing is ever shown yet every one is suddenly a vampire. It simply doesn't make much sense all around. There's also a big question mark as to the finale. Just another example of it not really making much sense.The Final Verdict: A nice, gory ride that never really explains itself. It gives the gore, action and nudity when needed, but really struggles when that isn't around. Vampire fans might be more inclined to check this out, while those not really into them might want to exceed with caution.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Nudity and a sex scene

bear90 Well, the short version is the vampiric version of Romero's "Night of the Living Dead". The spreading infection. The group of dysfunctional family members. The house under siege (granted from within instead of from without). Add a solid dollop of Edward Albee's "American Dream" crossed with Lynch's "Eraserhead" and you MIGHT get the idea. It is gorilla film-making. Have no doubt about that. Overall, I still can't decide if I liked it or not. There is no adherence to mythology (in any universe I've seen vampire films from) so you kind of have to suspend disbelief over a deep pit of boiling lye. But, if you can, you might find it interesting. And, even if you can't, it has a certain "Train Wreck" like charm.

preppy-3 A man comes home for his birthday party after work. However it seems he has been "infected" by vampire's and intends to "pass it" on to his family. A gang of black youths get involved and it all ends up with humans vs. vampires.Interesting take on vampire's that shows it as a disease and one that works FAST. When people get a taste of tainted blood they immediately become vampires. These vampires have huge fangs, piercing eyes (neat makeup job), move FAST and tell plenty of bad jokes (we got "Nightmare on Elm Street" to thank for that). The movie is by no means great. It was direct to video and it shows. The film is very grainy with bad sound too. Also they throw in a lesbian couple for no reason other than to show gratuitous female nudity. (I'd LOVE to see a gay male couple in one of these films). The film does have a mix or black and white characters--but they're all stereotypes. The family is heavily dysfunctional and all the black guys and woman are in gangs, swear constantly and always travel with guns.Still this film works. It IS scary and has tons of blood and gore (I can't see how this got by with an R rating). There's also a very eerie atmosphere with plenty of shock cuts to keep you off balance. The acting is OK--nobody is really good but nobody is really bad either. Basically they all do well in their roles. Interesting ending too.This is no masterpiece of horror but I found it interesting and well-done (on its budget). I give it an 8.
