Leif Jonker's Darkness: The Vampire Version has to be one of the most entertaining micro-budget gory vampire films i have seen in a long fucking
time. Leif Jonker and Gary Miller both pulls together and man do they come up with some nice special effects though out this movie. Darkness had
hit the underground circuit back in 1993 and then ten years later, it is now one of the most sickest gruesome indie films of all time to be created. It
has even gone as far as getting world wide attention like Evil Dead did back 1981. Sam Raimi, look out for independent director Leif Jonker's movie
Darkness: The Vampire Version.
The plot of the movies starts off with a guy cover in blood who is called John (Jake Euker) is running for his life and just makes it alive to a gas
station to desperately seek help from the lord of the vampires Liven (Randall Aviks). In the gas station we have the gas attendant, an off duty cop
(Veronica Page Dennen) & a customer who is a friend of Johns and also his next door neighbor called Tobe (Gary Miller). John warns everyone that
there all going to die, which starts to freak them out seeing he is covered in blood. Then he quickly grabs the cops gun and blows his brains out,
before you know it Liven appears from the shadows and rips the throat out of the women who just pulled up to fill her car. Everyone in the gas
station is in total shock due to what they just seen happen in the store and looks outside to see a women screaming and gasping on her own
blood, before you know it John has just changed into a blood thirsty vampire though he still has the cops gun in his hand. He jams the gun into the
cop’s stomach and tells her is a cool demonic voice "Its bleeding time baby" then pops a few rounds into her, and then he starts chewing the shit
out of her like a zombie. The gas attendant piss scared quickly grabs his shotgun underneath the counter and looks over the counter and watches
in horror, John is eating the cop while she is twitching. So he pumps the shotgun and shoots the crazed vampire in the chest, which kills him
instantly. Liven hears the gunshot and begins to make his way in a slow creepy entrance into the gas station and deal with the gas attendant the
best way he knows how too, Tobe is at the back of the store hiding behind the shelves out of site in hope not to be found. After Liven leaves, Tobe
quickly grabs the shotgun and rushes back home as fast as he can by foot. It’s now just about dawn and as soon he gets home he finds his mom
and baby sister dead in there trailer home. Tobe throws them into the car to rush them to the hospital, but he only gets a few miles up the road
and they both turn into vampires. So he pulls the car over and jumps out screaming & crying while his baby sister & mom are screaming his name in
a demonic voices. As soon as the sun hits them, we hear screams of pain & Tobe crying out to his family in anger. Tobe realizes who is behind all
this and is set out to seek revenge on the lord of the vampires Liven. Day by day Tobe becomes the vampire’s worst nightmare and brutally
slaughters the vampires in sadistic ways, if the shotgun is no good; he then uses a chainsaw or holy water. Along the way he finds other
teenagers who just got home from a rock concert and they too have lost there family's & friends from a gang of vampires, they eventually team up
and try there hardest to stay alive and survive day by day from the vampire hordes.
Leif Jonker's Darkness: The Vampire Version has been digital remastered, from the old super 8 films to DVD. This movie was originally shot back in
1993 and the actors were either still in high school or just finishing high school. It just shocks me to see a film so vile and shot to perfection by a
group of teenage kids, the DVD is jam packed with interviews from the actors in there late 20's or early 30's and you get to see behind the scene
photos and a good number of audio commentaries and so much gore i mean more. This is definitely a gore hounds film by far with outstanding
special effects that will simply blow you away, you get to see throats torn out, slashing & hacking from machetes, shit loads of splattered blood
right down to vampires melting to death from sun light & gun fire. Darkness: The Vampire Version is an indie film with fuck all of a budget, and is
truly a gem. The 2 DVD pack will keep you busy all night until dawn, if you are a full on gore hound well this movie is definitely made for the likes of
us so i highly recommend you buy this movie on DVD right now while you still can. You won’t be sorry that’s for sure, I'll even bet my left nut you
will love this film to death and look at independent cinema in a whole new way.
And who says blood thirsty vampires need fangs to feed, it’s much easier if they use a machete or a knife.
