31 days of horror Year 2 day 8



Masters of Horror:The V word-Anchor bay dvd

This is an episode from the second and sadly last season of Master of Horror. Directed by Erik Dickerson and written by Mick Garris. This is the story about two late teen guys who goto the local mortuary to see the corpse of a guy that picked on them all the time. One of the guy's older cousin is the night watchman at the mortuary,but when they arrive there no one answers the door. But it is unlocked so they go inside.Once inside they get the feeling that something isn't right. I was impressed with the camera angles and the use of lighting in this section of the film.
Finally they discover that there is a vampire in the mortuary,who is played by Micheal Ironsides. While running away from them,one of the guys falls down the stairs and gets a compound fracture in his leg. So the other guy has to leave him behind. Later that night compound fracture guy shows up at the other guy's home and once he is inside he bites the other guy. And the film goes downhill from here. It started off pretty good and was able to build lots of tension,but once the second guy gets bite the film goes off the rails and even Micheal Ironsides overacting can't save it. This episode gets a C-.
