THE FORSAKEN

With Kerr Smith, Brendan Fehr, Izabella Miko, Jonathon Schaech
Directed by J.S. Cardone

If
Near Dark and The Lost Boys were never made, this film could've been forgiven. With a slight biological infection angle thrown in, our gang of "bad-ass" vampires are on the trail of an innocent guy who has to deliver a car cross country, but the hitchhiker he picked up happens to be an ex-vamp on the lam from the blood suckers. He self-medicates an antidote and is bent on killing the head vampire to break the chain and cure all under his wicked spell. They pick up another girl almost totally infected and try to help her as they attempt schizophrenically to get away from the nuts as well as destroy them. As a desolate road movie it can maybe get away with it, but as yet another boring modern vampire flick it's just too damn stale.
