riftwolf I got this in a 2 disc set with 'Hercules in New York', and it spent 4 years gathering dust before I finally sat and watched this. I should have guessed that the B movie to Hercules wouldn't be worth the time. To be fair, the production and acting aren't bad. It's on par with a made-for-TV movie, the main characters played their parts well and I understood what was going on, so I went into this movie open-minded. The main problem with the film is there's not enough story to last the length of a feature length movie. The murder and apprehension are covered in the first ten minutes, then the rest of it is boring retread as we go over a lot of unnecessary detail. We start off with Rod confessing to the murder, then going over the details of what led up to the murder in a police interview. A lot of other minor details are revealed over the course of the movie, but it's boring because we already know the ending. I repeatedly checked the run time during this to see how much longer this was going to go. I think the movie would have held my interest if it hadn't been told in flashback. It robs the movie of all immediacy and basically tells you 'Here's the story in ten minutes, now sit on your hands while we drag this out'. Obviously because this based on a true story you weren't going to get a twist ending, so it's just dull. I'm not giving this lower than a 3 because it was competently shot, well acted and well produced. But the nothing of a plot and tedious pacing drag this down from being an okay movie to a bad one for me.

ShannonCharmedone If I could rate it over 10, I would. The roles were very difficult to play. Drew Fuller did an amazing job, as he's more known for his roles in Charmed and the ultimate gift. This character is much, much darker than both of those. When I first saw the film I thought, impossible. This can't be based on a true story, not that it seems fake, it's just the theme, vampires and the gore of what happened to Heather's parents. I loved the role of Rod and found him ice cool, even for a villain he was my favourite. The swearing didn't bother me at all, although I was surprised to hear the F word slip so much from Drew, as I knew him as Chris in Charmed and had to rewind the film twice before I could get it into my brain. I would recommend this film to anyone. It's an amazing story line, and it's all round fabulous to watch. Well done to the casting! You've done well.

kbritchford this has got to be one of the best films i've seen in a LONG time. it's not a horror film so don't watch and expect to be hiding behind the sofa. it take you on a fascinating ride about the down spiral of a group of kids. Drew Fuller played the Psycho, brilliantly, a huge change from his role of Chris the neurotic whitelighter from charmed. I especially like the way the story is told, working from the end backwards, leaving you to try work out what happened. i really recommend you watch this! 10 out of 10, i have NEVER given a film full marks i tend to be over critical. it's defintly a low budget film but i think that's what makes it great!there's no bug effects you have to actually act, not stare at pretty colours, or nurse a very fake injury!

jaredsgal6002 This movie shows the life of these 5 teenagers, Rod, Charity, Howard, Dana and Heather in 1996. They believe themselves to be vampires and are on there way to a meeting from New Orleans, Louisiana to Tallahasse, Florida where a big ritual will take place. Charity is pregnant with Rod's child yet is still going out with Heather. Rod invites Heather to Florida yet her parents won't let her, so Rod takes it upon himself to make it possible by murdering Mr and Mrs Wendorf with a crowbar. At first Rod and Howard wanted to steal there car yet the keys were inside the house and Rod looks for a weapon which finds to be a crowbar in the garage and enters the house and kills Mr Wendorf first while he is watching t.v while waiting for Mrs Wendorf to come downstairs. In a dispute Mrs Wendorf throws hot coffee onto Rod and he smack her across the head with the crowbar. They get the car, some money and valubles. Later on Rod confesses to Heather he murdered her parents and she brakes down cries. Towards the end of the movie they run out of money and asks Dana's mom to wire them some money but in the process the ploice track them down and arrest them and the rest is history. So it is a good movie all round and shows when people are taking things too far....
