Diagonaldi Very well executed

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

MBunge After Sundown is one of those movies made by people with very little money and even less talent where you are not surprised to see the same names listed over and over in the credits, but you are shocked it took so many to produce something so pitiful. On the one hand, you have to respect these folks for setting out to make a film and accomplishing that goal. On the other hand, everyone would have been better off taking up knitting instead.Out of respect for the effort that was made, I'm going to give this thing an actual review even though all that's really needed is to note that the writing sucks, the acting sucks, the direction sucks, the production values suck, there's no nudity, nothing deliberately funny, virtually nothing unintentionally funny and the violence and gore in After Sundown is tamer than what you'll see in an average episode of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.The plot concerns an wild west vampire and his bride who are revived in the modern world and start turning people into zombies. Yes, these vampires turn people into zombies and not other vampires. No, it doesn't make any sense but that's the least questionable thing about this script. Our cast of characters basically wander around the extremely limited number of locations these filmmakers could afford to shoot at, trying to avoid being eaten, going long stretches without saying anything and going longer stretches where they can barely be seen because this film has worse lighting than an abandoned mine shaft.I don't have much criticism for the actors of After Sundown. They don't give very good performances but with the abysmal dialog and frequently nonsensical story they had to work with in addition to the miserable direction they no doubt received, they deserve some credit for not completely embarrassing themselves.Both writer/co-director Christopher Abram and co-director Michael W. Brown do warrant a heaping dose of humiliation for their weak and excessively extended labors. If you've ever been to a film festival and seen a 20 minute short that was so terrible you couldn't understand why anyone bothered to make it, add another 68 minutes of equally awful stuff and you have good idea of what After Sundown is like. From having a dream sequence in the middle of a flashback to pulling a conclusion completely out of their asses and then literally forgetting about it, Abram and Brown demonstrate the storytelling aptitude of sea slugs that have smoked too much marijuana. I mean, they couldn't even show this movie to their own mothers and not get "two thumbs down".After Sundown is another drop in the ocean of utterly worthless films that have been vomited up onto DVD in a desperate and deceitful effort to scam the movie-loving public. It isn't worth renting. It isn't worth watching for free on TV. They should have to pay people to watch this thing and then let the viewers kick Abram and Brown square in the nuts when it's over.

thefanglys As Executive Producer/Writer/Director and Editor of After Sundown I can respond best to the many useful comments. First, this is the better version of After Sundown and actually no other version should legally exist. What does exist is an unauthorized illegal version of the movie that the co-director put together with the the D.P. without my knowledge and began to distribute. The co-director did not follow the directions given to him and he was trying to create his own version of the movie and wouldn't listen to the person who invited him in on this project. Thus having a huge conflict in pacing, acting and all around plot. The co-directors version was the one sent to distributors and was promptly turned down due to lack of horror elements, bad music and a convoluted ending. Second, the original script covered many but not all of the holes in the plot but because of issues on set (i.e. actors moving, locations being lost and budget restraints and a co-director not listening) many, many scenes had to be cut. I know the movie isn't great but we all have to start somewhere and my version did at least get distribution. As far as fake blood, make-up and zombies... that's up to the viewer to decide. At least it was real and not CGI effects. And lastly, budget does mean everything - if you've ever made a movie then you know that and compromises have to be made in any business and this is a business. If you don't think it is then try to rent a movie or go to the theater without paying. I do appreciate all the comments... it does help... especially since I'm currently working on my third movie... and if you are wondering, yes I made The Fanglys..."they just keep getting better!"

mark hunter This is a great movie for the extremely small budget they had. There were a couple of plot holes but I find plot hole in almost every movie I watch, even the big budget ones. Other than the few holes the plot was great. And vampires making zombies was VERY original thinking. And it is hard to be original with something that has been around as long as vampires and zombies The acting is great, except for Mike Brown (Benjamin) He was just not believable in his role. To many pauses when he talked. tone of voice did not really match the expressions on his face. The zombie make up was very good. When the vampire was shooting people They should have bleed. But maybe they could not fit that into the budget.With a bigger budget this would have been a major block buster film.And all the complaints I see others making could be fixed with a bigger budget. At least the real complaints and not the BS ones

Lwood Bluz For a low-budget horror film, it lives up to the slockiness of most. Many of the scenes are quite predictable and have been done to "DEATH"!!! Do we always have to see a town full of SLOW ZOMBIES chase after the last group of people in the town...and wind up catching members...if not all...of the party???The one thing that makes this film worthy enough to watch, in my opinion, are the scenes that deal with the diary and the background information that it gives to the happenings that plague the town. It would have been a much better film if they focused purely on the Western village in the past. Maybe if they would make a prequel, a much larger audience would enjoy that film.
