Story Synopsis:
The night has an appetite when Sean (Smith) becomes infected with a virus that will turn him into a Forsaken blood-sucking vampire. Sean teams up with a hitchhiker (Fehr), and a crazed young female victim of a vampire feeding, to track down and kill the centuries-old vampire-and source of the virus.

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits good quality throughout, with images that are sharp and detailed. Colors are nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation appear natural, and even the darkest scenes exhibit a satisfying gradation between darkness and total picture black. Some source element film grain and artifacts are revealed. There is enough edge enhancement to be distracting, but pixelization is infrequent. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel discrete soundtrack is impressive, fully engaging the spatial soundfield. The sense of being immersed in a holosonic listening space is certainly compelling. The music occasionally energizes the soundstage, as well as sound effects during heightened moments. Fidelity is quite impressive, and the utilization of dynamic range is notable. The rendering of a wide, spacious listening space with the outdoors is impressive throughout, and the 5.1-channel palette consistently projects a wide, open sonic environment throughout. Dialogue sounds reasonably natural with compelling spatial consistency with the visuals. Deep bass is certainly prominent at times with substantial .1 LFE activity. (Perry Sun)
