...pray for daylight.

Horror

A farm boy reluctantly becomes a member of the undead when a girl he meets turns out to be part of a band of vampires who roam the highways in stolen cars.

VIBE

This is a raw, sun-scorched journey into a dangerous, nomadic world. It feels like a punk rock fever dream, blending the visceral thrills of horror with the melancholic allure of a neo-noir road trip. Expect exhilarating, blood-soaked action punctuated by moments of strange, tender beauty, all wrapped in a distinctly 80s grit.
