Review Summaries

"A writer returns to his small home town to confront some old memories. As a child he witnessed a murder and suicide. Suddenly, people start dying. The writer, along with a doctor and a young boy realize that it's vampirism. They kill a few vampires as they search for the head vampire. They kill the head vampire, but it doesn't stop the rest of the vampires. After nearly the whole town is turned into vampires, the boy and the writer flee town, leaving the vampires to roam free. At a hospital, the writer tells his story to a nurse before he dies, and the boy disappears into the night. "
