I have to admit that I only watched half the movie, that's how it failed to connect with any interest I might have in watching DOUGRAY SCOTT assume a vampire role. Scott's idea of the vampire look is one of dull incomprehension, sniffing the air like a dog and walking through the role like a zombie with nowhere to go.
He's at a big disadvantage here because the script and direction leave a lot to be desired. Normally, he's a good enough actor to look as though he has command of a role but this character completely misses any kind of strong interpretation.
On the other hand, LEO GREGORY does a fine, snarling job (he can scowl like nobody else I've seen), a more vicious specimen than his brother. The story starts out effectively and looks as though it's going to have the potential of being a vampire story with a twist--but then gets bogged down into one dull scene after another until finally, as a viewer, I had enough.
Whether it picks up steam after sagging toward the middle, I'll never know. And I'll never find out because I don't intend to revisit it.
