Plot

After a female corpse in perfect condition is exhumed, two funeral home employees remove a wooden stake from it. The corpse instantly revives and reveals itself as a vampire. Sensing the return of his bride, the vampire who created her, an Old West gunslinger, comes to the town and begins to turn the people into zombies that serve his will.

Cast

Release

Lionsgate Home Entertainment released After Sundown on DVD on July 11, 2006. [1]

Reception

Bloody Disgusting rated it 2/5 stars and wrote that film is too unfocused and should have been set solely in the Old West. [2] Jon Condit of Dread Central rated it 1/5 stars and wrote that the plot holes ruin the film despite the attempts by the cast to take the film seriously. [3] Ian Jane of DVD Talk rated it 2/5 stars and wrote, "In short, the filmmakers show potential and are obviously an ambitious lot – they just didn't have either the means or the experience to pull it off this time." [1] Mac McEntire of DVD Verdict wrote, "After Sundown promises low budget cowboy vampire zombie action, and that's just what it delivers. I doubt it'll ever be considered a horror classic, but fans of the genre could do a lot worse." [4]
