Lack of good storyline.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I guess they tried to create a vampire film. It fails on every level you can think of: from acting to make-up to cinematography to the story. Everything just fails. So badly I couldn't watch it, I had to fast-forward through it to finish "watching".They bring us nothing new except a few new people becoming vampires. It's one of those "wannabe" films, it wants good and the actors are wannabe vampires. I wannabe a Hollywood vampire too but I don't create stupid films to fulfill that fantasy. Why can't they just leave vampire films to the "big boys", ya know the well-seasoned filmmakers? Just because you know how to work a camera and can dress up in a Halloween costume does not mean you are good at film making and acting.1/10

Allrighty, then. Where to begin? I am a fan of cinema, I believe it to be the highest form of art that exists. I enjoy all types of cinema, the ones that redefine popular culture and the ones that make us contemplate how awful our popular culture has become. When I am relaxing and having a drink (or two) I even enjoy watching horrible movies to laugh at while I grow steadily more intoxicated. Dark Town was something beyond what I previously defined as bad. Here are some highlights without spoiling (lol) the movie for anyone intending to watch it.1)The prosthetic teeth that the vampires use are so bad that they garble the actors' voices, so that their atrocious delivery is even more incomprehensible 2)You get to see a vampire lick blood off the floor in a manner that would put most adult film stars to shame (but your friends will imitate it until the joke loses all humor, which was minimal to begin with) 3)A vampire who loses her baby in the creepiest mock-abortion recorded on film proceeds to breast feed another grown woman by slicing off her nipple and making her suckle on the wound (in detail) 4)One of the vampires is decapitated, then pulls his shirt up over his head to complete the special effects and suddenly become a foot taller than everyone else in the shot.Anyhow, I was drinking gin and doing cocaine while watching this movie. Normally, I really get into the bad movies and laugh along while my friends make jokes about what is happening in the film. Dark Town made me angry at the TV screen. There is no word for it besides complete vomit. If you are looking to pinch a huge loaf on your entire evening, ruin it with this piece of garbage. I am appealing to the public to find some way of legally preventing this movie's producers from continuing to work in the film industry. Kind of like that appeal to Uwe Boll.

Now this is honestly not the greatest movie but it's definitely refreshing to see a horror movie that comes from someone who has been taking notes. Lesbians are a must in these movies but since WB has taken over the Hollywood horror game, we'll only see lesbians in B movies. Is this as good as Near Dark? Of course not, not even close. But does this movie have some cool images, sexy lesbians, and fun fake looking blood? Yes. Naked lesbians? Jackpot! I can't stress enough to you that this movie has girls kissing and actually looking like they like it. People who rip this movie like their horror t.v. friendly and slick with a big budget. Fans of low budget fare will love this. Is the acting great? Not really but there are a few people who stick out. The guy who played the father and the angst ridden daughter who has been missing in action while sleeping with her sexy girlfriend both come through. There is some confusion with what this movie wants to be but it's still pretty ambitious considering the budget is probably around 500 grand. This movie kind of meets in the middle, it has suburbia America meets the ghetto. There are even a few new attempts at disturbing imagery and it works okay. It's always fun to see a vampire cut open her breast and feed her newly turned baby. Haha... classic.

A bunch of gang-bangers invade a suburban home, where the father has contracted some sorta weirdo cannibal vampire disease. Everyone in the house, and a few others turn into flesh ripping sicko monsters. I was very in between with this film, and I still don't know if I liked it or not. I can say it was at least average. Gore and violence is aplenty in this picture. There are a lot of sick and twisted scenes through out the running time to keep fans of gory horror interested. Some are original. I like gore so I was able to get through it. However, everything in between is very irritating. The characters are all shallow clichés of every stereo-type thats been stuck into a stupid movie like this. And not one character in this is likable or original. Or believable, since the acting was completely low-rank. Plus, this movie is filled with annoying flash-cut scenes and flashbacks that usually take place in complete darkness, which only adds confusion to the story. The setting is boring and the creepy atmosphere that usually adds to a movie like this is non-existent. If the setting was better, or matched the tone of the horror on display here, this could have been better. Still, there is a high level of gruesomeness and a nice portion of T and A (which adds nothing to the story) to make this an okay view. Some scenes are truly sick. Features a father tearing a fetus out of his daughters belly, mother/daughter feeding frenzy on a dismembered body, gut-munching, chopped off heads, torn out hearts, etc., etc. Good gore, bad everything else. Catch it if it's on cable. Two Stars.
