| | pink angel 09/24/2009 | This is one of the best Patrick Swayze movies that I have seen!!!!!!!!! He played the
role of Dalton to perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The scene where he told the other bouncers to always "Be Nice" was great and he always was. I also think that Sam Elliott is a
super actor!!!!!!!!!!! This movie was just AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVED IT AND PATRICK SWAYZE!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| | A modern day western - cleaning up the town. | Anonymous 09/15/2009 | | If you like the good guy coming to the rescue - with a romantic twist, it is a fun movie. My favorite line - "I thought you would be bigger." |

| | fast moving but very unlikely | Anonymous 09/23/2007 | | Favorite part? Scenes with Sam Elliott. The rest was just macho stuff that is so unlikely to happen that it took the fun out of the movie. |

It's been a hassle, all those years with vampires vs. humans. So, it seemed the right time for the vampires to live in peace in an old ghost town with their sun block 30, etc., and artificial blood made from plants. When the blood plant does not produce enough blood, its designer David Harrison (Jim Metzler) and his wife Sarah (Morgan Brittany) arrive in the ghost town and find themselves in the middle of trouble. There are those fundamentalists, led by Jefferson (John Ireland), who want the real thing and are ready to rise up against the peaceful vampire leader, Count Mardulak (David Carradine), who ordered the blood plant as a method of integrating the vampires into the human world. War it shall be.
