I usually love bad movies, but this one is so hideous I want to use voodoo on the writer, director, producer, and any channel-heads who deem this viewable for any hour of the day, late-night or otherwise. The make-up is only semi-passable on two of the vamps and is reminiscent of those on "Buffy." The story itself starts by two girls (one a virgin) sneaking into a flooded crypt to go swimming and wake up the old vamp. The old vamp goes around turning everyone he can find. The redneck, small-town vamps then are controlled by the head vamp and thus become somewhat smarter then their humanselves. All the vampires either spend the day in a self-made, water cocoon or in a tub or crypt filled with water. Those who stay underwater have the benefit of upchucking and reswallowing their lungs every twilight. So, the vampires all come after the virgin because the mere scent of her makes them want to have an orgy and the head vamp wants her himself, of course. So rather than "taking care of business," the handsome hero, a teacher 10 years older than her, tries to keep her from becoming vamp chow. It all ends with a badly created special effect in which the head vamp decomposes into a skeleton with pink slime, a truly non-climatic ending to a film that never should have been made. Do not under any circumstances watch this film, it is not worth wasting the hour and thirty minutes on! The only good this movie can do is as a torture device; and then even P.O.W's would complain of it being cruel and inhuman.
