A disappointing follow-up to WAXWORK from director Anthony Hickox, who later tackled the third installment in the "hasn't it worn out its welcome yet?!" HELLRAISER series.

Set in the town of Purgatory, the flick revolves around a town full of vampires split into two factions: human-hunters hungry for blood, and domesticated creatures of the night who exist on synthetic sangre. Eventually, the schism erupts into a full-scale civil war.

A fairly good idea that should've at least been an entertaining time-waster, SUNDOWN fails because for every one good idea in the script there are about six really shitty ones!

As for the cast, it's another crap-shoot: Deborah Foreman (the director's then-girlfriend) is cute; Morgan Brittany is vacuous; David Carradine is asleep; and Bruce Campbell is still on the set of EVIL DEAD II. Only Maxwell Caulfield leaves an impression of what the flick could've been. And who thought I'd ever be saying that?!

Disappointing to say the very least.
