Overview

A mysterious epidemic has struck an Old West frontier town and young girls are falling deathly ill. Doc Carter, his lovely daughter Dolores, and preacher Dan Young have their hands full caring for the infirm. When one of the patients dies unexpectedly, Dan notices two puncture wounds on her neck. His investigation leads him to the strange gunslinger Drake Robey, who always seems to be slower on the draw than his opponents, but who—despite being outdrawn, and even shot—always manages to survive these deadly encounters. Dan soon discovers that Drake also has an aversion to crucifixes, sleeps in coffins, and cannot tolerate sunlight...

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A vampire materializes in a dusty Western town, turning a frontier community into a pressure cooker of suspicion and dread. The collision of supernatural horror with frontier traditions creates an oddly compelling atmosphere of moral reckoning wrapped in gunsmoke and prayer.

A vampire in the old west! 
A gunslinger harbors a deadlier secret than anyone could imagine. When preacher Dan uncovers the truth, it’s him against the undead!
Really liked this one! It’s a good western AND a good twist on the vampire story.
