This is truly the most different and oddest vampire movie I've seen in a long time. In no way is this a perfect movie. There's just too much that happens in the movie where I was going, "That makes no sense narrative-wise," and character motivation is non existence at times when it should be. I also hate those movies where bad ass villains suddenly become non-bad ass villains when the story line deems it necessary. But the way everything happens throughout the movie and the fact it's not a typical vampire movie makes it an interesting watch.
These vampires are dirty, grungy and for the most part homeless, which is in stark contrast to the over glossy, always rich, teenage hormonal models of today's vampires. There is one scene set in a bar that is the best scene in the movie. It's very bloody, very gory and filled with all kinds of tension. Bill Paxton steals every scene he's in and is the best reason to watch this movie. It's also the first movie I've seen that mixes the genre of cowboy and vampires with surprisingly good effects and for that alone it's worth watching.
Have fun with the look of this poster also because this movie is 180 degree different from the typical Twilight look of this poster. I can just imagine the Twilight fans watching this movie and the utter shock that would burst through their system as the movie progresses, that alone fills me with joy.
