About
You’ll likely enjoy this bleak, lonely horror-in-apocalypse classic if you like vintage vampire/zombie mashups and offbeat dread in films like House of Usher or Stake Land; Not for you if you want fast action or consistently tense thrills throughout.
Pros: dark loneliness; spooky night monsters; bleak black-and-white mood | Cons: pacing drags mid-film; finale feels messy; lead performance miscast
