Product Description

Brian Paulin’s stylish and ambitious film is a brutally violent, actionpacked horror epic featuring horrific special fx and amazing stunt work.

Synopsis: Stephen and Ian are ruthless drug lords in the middle of a vicious battle with their competition. After spending a wild night with two sexy, yet strange and mysterious women, Stephen and Ian wake up feeling oddly sick - their lives changed forever. They discover the women are actually Angels who have infected them with a vampire type virus. In exchange for immortality, Stephen and Ian, along with an army of throat-tearing monsters, must kill off the human race so the Angels can take over the world. As the vampires begin the gruesome and unstoppable slaughter of mankind, the Demon world rears its ugly head to end the Angels’ bid for earthly domination. A three-way war is on…and no-one may survive the bloody and horrifying carnage.

Customer Reviews

Don't ask me what this is about because I have no idea
I feel like I'm the one who has slept through something because the ending of this film does not make one bit of sense to me. The first half of At Dawn They Sleep was good enough to make me think there might really be something to this film. The acting wasn't all that bad (with one exception) and the plot was interesting albeit weird and fuzzy. There are these two drug lords (or a drug lord and his lackey-like buddy) who aren't afraid to kill anyone who crosses them, nor are they afraid to take their chances on ladies of the night. It's safe to say they never met any girls like the two they brought home at the start of the action here, though. These girls are vampires - wait, they do chomp down on the guys' jugulars but - hey, wait a minute, one of them unfurls a pair of wings - of course, what we have here are angels turning our main characters into vampires. Why would sweet little angels do this? Well, these angels aren't even angelic. They hate mankind and have apparently waited a long, long time for their chosen ones in the form of our total loser protagonists to come of age. Apparently, these guys are supposed to kill everyone on earth for the angels so that they can come down and live on earth - or something like that. Well, our guys take to vampirism like ducks in a pond, digging in to their victims to get all the good juicy stuff inside. At this point, some type of demon appears and offers the tough guy a better deal; the filmmakers went to some trouble to make the demon's voice sound all dark and evil with reverberating echoes. Unfortunately, all it really accomplished was to make two-thirds of the demon's words totally incomprehensible. Perhaps writer, director, and star Brian Paulin sensed that this was a mistake because I lost the trail of the plot right there. It looked like the guys just tried to film some weird stuff and fighting scenes to pad the rest of the film. As things degenerated, I kept thinking that there would at least be some type of closure at the end. Alas, though, I am clueless as to what happened. I won't say this is a bad movie because it has its good parts, and there is a lot (but not an extreme amount) of gore scattered across the whole thing - but I just can't get too excited about a movie that ends up making very little sense.

One terrible film
At Dawn They Sleep is another film from Video Outlaw and E.I. Independent Cinema that sucks as much as Night Divides The Day. It was amateurish, like it was shot on a video camera. The cinematography is too dark, and the acting is terrible. But the gore is fun. But this is just a crappy movie.
