“Forget everything you’ve ever heard about vampires,” warns Jack Crow (James Woods), the leader of a relentless group of mercenary vampire slayers who set out across the New Mexico desert in pursuit of Valek (Thomas Ian Griffith), a master vampire who is dangerously close to acquiring the power to walk in the daylight. John Carpenter’s bone-crunching horror-western hybrid lays waste to the image of vampires as elegantly brooding dandies; his bloodsuckers are rough-and-tumble rogues who meet their ends in spectacularly gory fashion.
