Darkness – The Vampire Version (1983)
Horror Cult Classic From the 1980’s

Synopsis:
“Enter DARKNESS: THE VAMPIRE VERSION, a two-disc, digitally remastered set with more goodies than you can shake a crucifix at. …you’ll find yourself cheering these besieged survivors to safety. It’s much the same feeling people got the first time they saw THE EVIL DEAD — and I’m not talking about when it first came on video. It’s so enjoyable, that I actually found myself thinking that Jonker would be the perfect guy to do 30 DAYS OF NIGHT. Just a thought, but I think he could pull it off. Now, however, you can have the film in a format that does it and its cast and crew justice. Do yourself a favor, horror fans, and get this ASAP if you don’t already have it in your hot little hands.” Rating: 3.5 out of 4 STARS! – Doug Brunell – FILM THREAT
